Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “Today is a day that brings Belarusians together in shared memory and spirit. A day when we set aside the bustle and noise to honor the people who left a mark on our lives. A day to remember our ancestors and loved ones who will forever remain part of our soul and traditions. No matter where each Belarusian is, bright memories keep the bond with our native land, history, and roots alive.
But today, we honor not only our loved ones but also our Belarusian heroes. Those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and independence. Those who bravely resisted repression and tyranny. Those who stood by their principles in the fight for Belarus and Ukraine.
Through memory, we keep the light of hope in our hearts. As long as we remember and take pride, Belarus lives in each of us – strong, free, and unconquerable”.
