The Vytis cross is lithuanian (a bit different than belorussian one). Don’t know the background flag though.

I think it can be a flag of international movement of Belarusian youth “Малады фронт”

Vytis cross. It’s a part of one of the oldest coats of arms in the world. It is a sign that was used by the Grand Dukes of Lithuania in the 13th c. – 14th c. signifying a mature ruler who honourably defends his Homeland with a sword. Vytis is one of the few coats of arms whose symbolism originate from seals portraying images of dukes.
It is believed that the Grand Duke Algirdas of Lithuania may have been the first duke to have used a seal with an image of himself on horseback.
Jogaila and his brothers, who became the Grand Dukes of Lithuania after Algirdas’ death had riding knight seals, and later other princes of the Gediminas dynasty began to portray themselves in this way. During the reign of Vytautas in the 14th century. The riding knight became the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
You guys in Belarus are really devoted to stealing other countries historic symbols. 😀 I guess that’s how you express gratitude for our help to your people 🙂
Some accounts in this thread smell like trolls aiming to drive a wedge between belarusians and lithuanians baiting content for the false narrative of “litwinism is rampant among belarusians”

Seems like a flag of RUCH (‡ Р У Х ‡) organization.

Probably something fascist and bad. Edit: [as I assumed ](https://gdb.rferl.org/E9646587-7E32-4246-970D-36E56E9149BF_cx0_cy11_cw85_w1200_r1.jpg)
