  • A shared sense of unity that stays with us: Join the August 9 events

    09.08.2026

    August 9 marks a turning point in modern Belarusian history. Six years ago, Belarusians took to the streets to defend their choice. We remember what it felt like to stand together and experience true unity. That sense of solidarity and mutual support remains with us today, wherever we are.

    To mark the anniversary of the peaceful protests, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Office has compiled a list of public events taking place next week.
