Any Belarusian can join the Movement and choose from numerous options to resist the war and Belarus’ regime. Read the Manifest.
Here is an overview of the Movement on April 21.
Sabotage
- The Hajun project, which monitors the movement of Russian troops in Belarus, released an operational summary for April 21.
- Also, the Hajun project reviewed the Belarusian propaganda coverage of the war in Ukraine for the day. Propagandists advocate for killing Ukrainian citizens “in real time on the battlefield”. This is how propaganda understands “denazification”.
Support for Ukrainians and Belarusians
- PandaDoc co-founder Mikita Mikado invested in Mesto.in, a platform for the relocation of Russian-speaking IT specialists and startups.
- Representatives of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's Office started a working visit to Ukraine. Valery Kavaleuski and other representatives of the democratic forces delivered vehicles, equipment, and humanitarian supplies to Kyiv for the Belarus Kalinouski battalion.
- Representatives of the democratic forces, including the head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Pavel Latushka, and Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's advisor Franak Viacorka, held a call with Ivonka Survilla, President of the Belarusian Democratic Republic Council. They discussed threats to Belarus' independence posed by the regime's actions, the war in Ukraine, and the preservation of Belarusian statehood.
- In Middelburg, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Franklin Roosevelt's great-great-granddaughter presented Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya with the Roosevelt Four Freedoms Award. The national leader of Belarus followed her tradition and dedicated the award to all Belarusians fighting for the liberation of Belarus and thanked the Roosevelt Institute for the opportunity to speak on the Anti-War Movement of partisans and activists, Belarusians' support for political prisoners, and humanitarian aid to Ukrainians.
- Belarusian artist Karalina Paliakova, supported by the Free Belarus Center and Karma, opened a charity exhibition in Poland. Half of the proceeds will be donated to Ukrainians affected by the war.
- Representatives of the People's Embassy of Belarus in Spain met with the Ambassador of Estonia and discussed the issues faced by Belarusians in Estonia and assistance to them.

Resistance
