Viktar Babariko is a prominent Belarusian opposition leader and former banker known for his candidacy in the 2020 presidential elections against President Alexander Lukashenko. He gained significant attention for his efforts to challenge the authoritarian regime and advocate for democratic reforms in Belarus.
