Direct speech: “Unfortunately, the white spitz Lukashenko has been left with more rights than the people of Belarus. There was a chance in 2020 to change that, and I’m sure there will be another chance. But then the support for Belarusians was simply not enough, and now we all feel how much more difficult, how much more expensive, how much more dangerous it has become for everyone because of Belarus’ dependence on Moscow. A dependence that is not getting any less.”

“The uprising of the Belarusians should have won in 2020, so that there are no threats from there now. Europe and the world should have supported the people who rose up, and history would have been different – safer,” he emphasized.
According to the president, “in many respects, the wars of the 20th century are a consequence of the indifference of the powerful of this world in the 19th century.”
“And I want to say separately for the people of Belarus. You are a European people who will be together with all our peoples in a united free Europe. Europe is peaceful. Europe is strong. You cannot be erased. We cannot all be erased. I thank all the Belarusian volunteers who are fighting for our independence in Ukraine and a historic chance for their state,” Zelenskyy added.
