To the second point: Not only domain, but all the hardware should be situated in Belaus.

Is that part of the original law which was not included in the translated note? Because the note linked here does not — as far as I can tell — make any mention of hardware.

Субъектам хозяйствования, осуществляющим деятельность по реализации товаров, выполнению работ, оказанию услуг на территории Республики Беларусь с использованием информационных сетей, систем и ресурсов, имеющих подключение к сети Интернет, следует обратить внимание: если эти сети, системы или ресурсы не размещены на территории Беларуси и (или) не зарегистрированы в установленном порядке, к субъектам может быть применено административное взыскание в виде штрафа от 10 до 30 базовых величин.

сети, системы или ресурсы mean networks, systems, or [hardware] resources.

It reads that networks, systems, or resources must be located in Belarus.

Thank you.

According to Google translate your quotation says:

Business entities engaged in activities on the sale of goods, works and services in the Republic of Belarus with the use of information networks, systems and resources with an Internet connection, you should pay attention: if these networks, systems or resources are not available on the territory of Belarus and (or) not registered in the prescribed manner to the subjects can be applied to an administrative penalty of a fine from 10 to 30 base units.

Google translate is wrong in one part. Rather than "... are not available on the territory of Belarus", "... если эти сети, системы или ресурсы не размещены на территории Беларуси" translates to "If these networks, systems or resources are not located on the territory of Belarus".

"Located" being the vital difference here.
