Minsk Stadium Floods After Opening: A New Architectural Wonder or Construction Flaw? A new stadium in Minsk, Belarus, opened recently to much fanfare, touted as an architectural marvel by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. However, videos circulating online tell a different story. Footage shows significant water damage after a recent rainfall, with water cascading down the staircases. "It looks like they forgot the roof," quips one online commentator. This raises concerns about the construction quality and the potential for significant financial and reputational damage.

The incident highlights the need for thorough quality control in large-scale construction projects, especially those promoted as symbols of national pride.
