What else did Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya say?
📌 “We continue to represent and defend the interests of the Belarusian people. Because Lukashenka is not the president. He is a criminal who seized power and served his patron in Moscow, not the Belarusian people. And he must be brought to account for all the crimes he committed”.
📌 “After the regime dragged our country into the criminal war against Ukraine, it became evident that Lukashenka doesn’t represent Belarus anymore. He is selling our country to Putin, piece by piece, in exchange for political support”.
📌 “Our aim is to liberate Belarus from the grip of dictatorship and Russian claws. Lukashenka’s regime must be dismantled. Every political prisoner must be released. Perpetrators must be punished. We need free and fair elections under international supervision”.
📌 “I want to ask you to be vocal on the Belarus situation, support our democratic aspirations, and isolate the Belarus regime. You can make statements and resolutions on Belarus. Every action matters”.
