Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya was interviewed by Dmytro Gordon’s channel, where she shared her thoughts on why Belarusians and Ukrainians need to talk about their pain and support each other. She also emphasized that the democratic forces represent the majority of Belarusians.
Here are some interesting points from the conversation:
📌 “I am one of the people who seek a peaceful resolution of the situation. Everyone wants Belarus to be free, political prisoners to be released, and those guilty of crimes to be punished. Everyone has the same goal. Methods may vary, though. I strive to talk to everyone and try to find consensus. I’m proud of Belarusians who, for four years, have continued to work together”.
📌 “The democratic forces are not opposition. They are the majority of Belarusians. We have built alternative political bodies. All initiatives work together and consult with each other, and the democratic community coordinates itself”.
📌 “I very much hope that there is still a way to let people in prisons know that the struggle continues. That the release of political prisoners is a priority. And we are exploring all possible ways to free as many people as possible”.
📌 “Now is the moment when we are all fighting against global evil, and this is not the time to compare who is suffering more. In Belarus, people are dying in prison; in Ukraine, on the battlefield. We need each other’s support”.
