During the Munich conference, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya held a meeting with Ursula von der Leyen. In December 2021, following their previous meeting, the European Commission doubled its assistance to Belarusian civil society.
This time, Ms. von der Leyen and Ms. Tsikhanouskaya discussed an international coalition in support of independent Belarus. Lukashenka is rapidly surrendering Belarusian sovereignty, and joint actions are needed to stop the absorption of Belarus by Russia.
