Ivan Kubrakov, Belarus’s interior minister, has told police in the Vitebsk region to strengthen efforts against cybercrime. He presented stronger prevention as the main task and warned that isolated units would not deliver results on their own. Kubrakov said officers must work as one coordinated team, relying on mutual assistance and shared responsibility for outcomes. His message focused on cooperation across the regional police structure and a stronger sense of corporate responsibility. The approach places organizational discipline alongside enforcement when confronting crimes that are increasingly carried out online. It also asks regional officials to identify weaknesses in prevention before offenders can exploit them. The challenge is to convert those broad instructions into specific checks, specialist skills and joint operations. Kubrakov’s comments make management and internal coordination central to the ministry’s anti-cybercrime strategy.
