Estonian kidnaps daughter from his Belarusian ex-wife. Propaganda blames: should not have made the child an Estonian passport

Five days ago, Belarusian Alena raised a panic in Threads. On the morning of June 27, her ex-husband, an Estonian, took their shared daughter once again (the schedule for communication with the child was determined by a Belarusian court), but did not return her.

A ban on the child leaving the territory of Belarus had been issued. However, little Dasha, as a citizen of both Belarus and Estonia, also had an Estonian passport.

The next day, Alena reported that she had learned that her ex-husband, his mother, and daughter were already in Russia (in Smolensk) — and planned to cross the border into Estonia.

A day later, the Belarusian woman received a call from the Estonian police, who confirmed that her daughter, along with her father, was on the territory of Estonia. Now the mother is desperately looking for ways to get her daughter back.

Alena shared details of her family life with "Minskaya Pravda".

The woman herself is from Maryina Horka. In 2021, she married an Estonian citizen and gave birth to a daughter, Darya — the family decided to live in the European Union.

But difficulties arose almost immediately. Alena claims that her ex-partner hardly worked — he might find some odd job once every six months. And the money relatives gave for the birth of the child, the father gambled away in a casino.

They lived poorly — there wasn't always enough money even for the little one's clothes. At the same time, Alena says that the father did not engage with his daughter at all and was irritated by the baby crying at night.

The girl, born in Estonia to an Estonian father, was primarily given an Estonian passport. Little Darya received a Belarusian passport later — in 2022, when the family came to Belarus to visit Alena's mother.

After that vacation, relations between Alena and her husband only worsened. In the summer of 2023, having found money for the trip home with difficulty, the woman and her daughter again came to Belarus. At this point, Estonia revoked Alena's residence permit — she says the reason was her husband's lack of work and official income.

As a result, the family decided to live in Belarus — the Estonian came here and obtained a residence permit. They rented an apartment in Minsk — but a peaceful life again did not work out. And the reason was money problems. Alena says that her husband became very aggressive, and after another argument, she even had to file a police report and document her injuries.

In 2024, the woman and her daughter returned to her mother in Maryina Horka and filed for divorce. Almost simultaneously, the former husband and wife went to court to determine the order of communication with the child — the outcome satisfied everyone.

However, it was clear that the Estonian's chances of renewing his residence permit in Belarus were almost zero — he did not work officially and had no income.

When he visited his daughter, conflicts often occurred — both at home and at the kindergarten. Alena breathed a sigh of relief when she won the court case to impose a ban on the child leaving the country.

This ultimately did not stop her ex-husband. Propagandists suggest that the Estonian might have lied in his homeland, claiming he lost his daughter's Estonian passport, and made a new one — and this document was not in the border guards' database.

In the text, propaganda repeatedly emphasizes that the mother would not have had such problems if Darya had not had an Estonian passport.
