Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced Poczobut's release, which was part of a prisoner swap, on April 28. Lukashenko, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has released hundreds of prisoners in the past two years. That process has accelerated during Trump's second term. The U.S. has in return begun removing sanctions against Belarus.
