“Everything is all right, they returned to Moscow this morning, about an hour ago, with a ban on entering the Republic of Belarus for the next five years,” Dzyadko said.

Earlier it was reported that the journalists of the Dozhd TV channel were detained in Belarus on the day of the presidential election.

Later, the correspondents of the Dozhd TV channel Vladimir Romensky and Vasily Polonsky, as well as the cameraman Nikolai Antipov, were released from the Minsk police department.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke about the situation with the journalists, noting that they did not have the necessary accreditation to work in Belarus at the elections.
