Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “The war started 20 days ago. Today, after Lukashenka made Belarus an accomplice to military aggression, a new “Constitution” was adopted in our country. But holding a referendum and amending the Constitution amidst a war is no different from holding a secret inauguration without telling the people.
Some believe fog of war will justify everything. But it will not justify the regime's withdrawal of Belarus' neutral and nuclear-weapon-free status in the middle of wartime. Because people remember everything. The cost of our freedom is so high that no war, pandemic, or other global upheaval can help the regime cover up its crimes. Now, we remember every betrayal against the people, and we will definitely remember this one. We met this Constitution Day with lost constitutional rights and independence, but in the middle of a crisis and war”.
