Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is on a visit to Gdańsk, where the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 is taking place — a major international forum dedicated to Ukraine’s recovery and modernization. The conference brings together heads of state and government, international financial institutions, business leaders, civil society representatives, and Ukraine’s partners from around the world.
Discussions are focused on security, support for Ukraine, and Belarus’s role in the region, particularly in light of recent developments in Belarus–Ukraine relations and the warning that President Zelenskyy issued to the Lukashenka regime.
On the sidelines of the forum, Ms. Tsikhanouskaya has already held talks with international partners, including:
- 🇪🇺 António Costa, President of the European Council;

- 🇱🇹 Gitanas Nausėda, President of Lithuania;
