This report analy­ses the needs and sup­port pro­vid­ed to Belaru­sian and Russ­ian inde­pen­dent media in exile. It does this
in three key ways.

First­ly, the report high­lights how the needs of the inde­pen­dent Belaru­sian and Russ­ian media in exile com­pare with the sup­port pro­vid­ed by civ­il soci­ety organ­i­sa­tions. Sec­ond­ly, the report analy­ses the dif­fer­ences across five host coun­tries — Czechia, Ger­many, Latvia, Lithua­nia and Poland — in their sup­port of Belaru­sian and Russ­ian media.

Third­ly, the report assess­es how the needs and sup­port pro­vid­ed have evolved over time, whilst find­ing cur­rent areas for
improve­ment.
