Today, you sacrifice to defend both your own freedom and Europe\u2019s independence. Our country, Belarus, is now enslaved, and Russian aggressors cowardly attack&nbsp;peaceful Ukrainian cities and villages from the Belarusian soil. But the Belarusian people, who chose freedom in 2020, will not be oppressed forever. This is confirmed by Belarusian soldiers in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and by our brave partisans who stopped Russian trains moving towards Ukraine,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja wrote.<\/p>\n<p> She noted that the holiday marks six months of Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine. \u201cThe anti-Ukrainian goals stated by the Kremlin, the ruthlessness, disrespect for human life and all things Ukrainian make this struggle of Ukraine a struggle for justice, dignity, and home,\u201d the democratic leader stressed.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe threat to the independence of Belarus and Ukraine is really serious,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja noted. \u201cTrading Belarusian sovereignty in order to stay in power, the illegal regime shamefully dragged our country into this war, broke promises to the Ukrainian people and betrayed the Belarusian statehood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe already know that for aggressor Putin, Belarus and Ukraine should not exist as states at all,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja said, in a clear reference to recent remarks by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cAnd this joins our fight and yours. After all, there will be no free Belarus without free Ukraine, but there can be no sustainable security for Ukraine and the whole of Europe without a Belarus free from tyranny,\u201d the democratic leader said.<\/p>\n<p> In her opinion, Belarus and Ukraine should overcome this dangerous stage together, stop the dictators and begin to establish new interstate relations based on universal human values, the European outlook and the interests of common and regional security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this path, democratic Belarus stands on the side of Ukraine, and Belarusians themselves help Ukrainians defend their freedom every day. We believe in the victory of Ukraine and will continue to support the Ukrainian people in building a future of its own choice. And I believe that the Belarusians and the Ukrainians will definitely be the best neighbors in the free European space,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 24, BPN.
