"So that Belarus is not given to Putin as a consolation prize." Tsikhanouskaya calls for the Belarusian question to be included in Ukraine-Russia peace talks
Leader of Belarusian democratic forces Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya stated in an interview with Euronews that the future of Belarus directly depends on the outcome of the war in Ukraine, and advocated for the necessity of achieving a just and lasting peace, not a temporary lull.
In a conversation with Euronews, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya emphasized the importance of considering the Belarusian question during peace negotiations for Ukraine and noted the necessity of establishing long-term security in the region: "Of course, the future of our country depends on the outcome of the war in Ukraine. And, of course, we all want a just and lasting peace, not just a temporary lull that will give Russia the opportunity to regroup and start attacking again.
It is important for us that the aspect of Belarus is also included in these negotiations. So that Belarus is not given to Putin as a consolation prize, so that Belarus does not lose its independence. And that is why we need a strong Europe as a player in these negotiations, which will be the voice of the people of Belarus.
I hope there will be unity around Ukraine, around our region. That Ukraine will be given everything necessary to win this war. We don't necessarily have to follow President Trump's path, because his approach is more transactional. But we must think more strategically about the security architecture for many years to come," she said.
