Valery Kavaleuski, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Representative on Foreign Affairs, told Belarusian media outlet Zerkalo.io about the reception of the Belarusian democratic forces’ delegation in Ukraine and the results of the meetings with local politicians.
- Thousands of Belarusians are applying to join the volunteer movement in Ukraine. Ukrainians praised Belarusians’ skills, stressing the significant potential for growth.
- At the Verkhovna Rada, we talked about how much Belarusian troops’ deployment or non-deployment in hostilities means for Ukrainians. That is really crucial.
- While Belarus’ territory is being used for missile and bomb attacks on Ukraine and Russian troops receive a full set of support, Lukashenka is trying to pretend that the country is not involved in the war. Belarus is catering to Russian troops. If we claim that we are under de-facto occupation, we should perceive Russians as occupiers.
- Every time we showed our documents, which is now a mandatory procedure, the first reaction was suspicion and additional verification. But at the same time, almost everyone – guards, territorial defense, train conductors, and the military – said “Zhyve Belarus” when we walked away.
