Lukashenko approves new appointments in Vitebsk Oblast and four districts

While announcing personnel decisions on 9 April, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko approved new appointments in Vitebsk Oblast and four districts across the country, BelTA has learned.

The head of state approved the appointment of two deputy governors of Vitebsk Oblast. Aleksei Guida will be responsible for social sphere, personnel, ideological work, and youth policy, while Piotr Belus will oversee the construction sector, transport, and housing and utilities services.

The president also approved new heads of local administrations in four districts: Yelena Babinskaya as Chairperson of the Braslav District Executive Committee, Maksim Bakurov as Chairman of the Glubokoye District Executive Committee, Leonid Moizhik as Chairman of the Orsha District Executive Committee, and Aleksandr Chasnoit as Chairman of the Voronovo District Executive Committee. 

Addressing the newly appointed officials, Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that the government has recently devoted significant attention to agriculture – from specific issues such as livestock farming, the construction of calf rearing facilities, and the performance of individual agricultural enterprises, to broader issues like spring fieldwork.
