Tsikhanouskaya began participation in the European Political Community summit with a meeting with Zelenskyy
"Peace must be on Ukraine's terms, with reliable security guarantees that will prevent Russia from attacking again," said the democratic leader.
"I began my participation in the European Political Community summit in Dublin with a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I conveyed to him words of solidarity and support from Belarusians. We stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Today, more than ever, it is important to strengthen support for Ukraine to stop Russian aggression and achieve a just and lasting peace," she reported on her Telegram channel.
Tsikhanouskaya says that the fates of Belarus and Ukraine are inextricably linked, and the future of Belarus also depends on the outcome of this war.
"Peace must be on Ukraine's terms, with reliable security guarantees that will prevent Russia from attacking again. The Belarusian question must become part of negotiations for a lasting peace. It cannot be allowed for Belarus to remain under Russia's control or become a consolation prize for Putin. It is necessary to withdraw Russian troops from Belarus and restore the true independence and sovereignty of our country. Without this, there will be no lasting security for either Ukraine or the entire region," Tsikhanouskaya noted.
They discussed the role of Lukashenka's regime in Russian aggression and the importance of preventing the Belarusian army from being drawn into the war.
"We want to see Ukraine strong, independent, and peaceful, and Belarus free and democratic. Our peoples deserve a secure European future," Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya summarized.
