As "The Bureau" found out, particularly close relationships developed between Alexander Lukashenka's granddaughter Victoria Lukashenka and Hanna Yarash — the eldest daughter of businesswoman, owner of a fish empire, Lyudmila Nyaronskaya.
The earliest joint photos of Victoria Lukashenka and Hanna Yarash that journalists managed to find date back to 2014. The girls probably met during their studies at Minsk Gymnasium No. 16 — one of the capital's prestigious schools. Apparently, they were classmates.

After school, Victoria Lukashenka entered the Faculty of International Relations at BSU, while Hanna Yarash went to Great Britain, where she studied electrical and electronic engineering at the University of Nottingham.

Despite the distance, the girls continued to maintain warm relations. Hanna Yarash's social media accounts contain a video where Victoria Lukashenka congratulates Lyudmila Nyaronskaya on her birthday and calls her "Aunt Lyuda".
The investigation shows that the Nyaronsky and Lukashenka families were not only friends but also regularly vacationed together.

In July 2016, Victoria Lukashenka and Hanna Yarash went to Rome together. According to "Cyberpartisans" data, they flew to Italy in the company of Lyudmila Nyaronskaya, Lilia Lukashenka, and Viktor Lukashenka's younger son, Alexander.
Three years later, in July 2019, the company met again in Europe — this time in Dublin.

Journalists counted at least four joint foreign trips of the Nyaronsky and Lukashenka families — in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019.
It was previously reported that in 2019, Nyaronskaya, together with Viktor Lukashenka's family (wife and children), flew on a private business jet from Minsk to Dubai. On the way back, Viktor himself also joined them.
Close relations between the families are maintained outside of vacations as well.
For example, in August 2022, representatives of the Lukashenka family attended Hanna Yarash's lavish wedding. Dozens of guests gathered at the "Islach Park" country complex, for whom dances with live accompaniment, photo zones, board games, and a mobile bar were organized.

Among the guests, journalists noticed Victoria Lukashenka together with her husband Dzmitry Dziatlau.
In 2023, the Dziatlau spouses were also seen among the guests at the wedding of Stsiapan — the son of businesswoman Hleb Nyaronski, Lyudmila's third husband, from his first marriage.

It seems that the friendship extends to other representatives of the two families.
In April 2025, Lyudmila Nyaronskaya's second daughter, Tatsiana Zaitseva, was seen at a "Dynamo-Minsk" match against "Traktor" Chelyabinsk. Next to her in the stands were Viktor Lukashenka and his daughter Valeryia Lukashenka.

Nyaronskaya's Business Empire
Lyudmila Nyaronskaya is a Belarusian businesswoman who, since the early 2000s, has worked in the field of trade and transportation of liquefied petroleum gases. Together with businessman Artur Zubaryk, she developed the companies "Syravinnyya Resursy - Bel", "Transexpeditsiya", and "Gazenerdzhikhim". In 2017-2018, Nyaronskaya's structures were named among the main participants in the re-export of Russian LPG to Ukraine and Poland via Belarus. After the start of the war in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions, this business practically ceased.

In 2022, Nyaronskaya began to develop a fish business, registering the company "Morskiya Promysly" in March, and already in April of the same year, she created the company "Soyuznyya Rybnyya Promysly" in Russia. According to "The Bureau" investigation, the firm received quotas for fish catch in the Far East within the framework of Belarusian-Russian agreements. In October 2022, Nyaronskaya founded the company "Morskiya Sezony", and later — "Morskaya Manufaktura", which is developing a fish shop and cafe under the brand "Rybny Dom 'Morskiya Sezony'".

As "The Bureau" notes, Dzmitry Dziatlau — Victoria Lukashenka's husband and Viktor Lukashenka's son-in-law — held various positions in all the mentioned firms. However, as the investigators claim, he is not the only one who benefits from Nyaronskaya's fish empire.
In June 2025, Lyudmila Nyaronskaya, together with Viktor and Lilia Lukashenka's son, Alexander Lukashenka Jr., registered a joint business — the firm "Sezon Upakouki". In addition, the husband of Lilia Lukashenka's own sister, Alexander Harusau, also works in Nyaronskaya's structures. Since 2024, he has been working at "Sea Seasons" as Deputy Director for Security.
