Svitlana Tykhanovskaya, the leader of the Belarusian opposition in exile, said that she doubts the ability of American diplomacy to break the close ties between the regime of Alexander Lukashenko and the Kremlin.
This is reported by Reuters.
“We should stop thinking that we can separate Lukashenka and Putin. They have a symbiotic friendship; they support each other, they help each other, for example, to circumvent sanctions,” Tykhanovska said.
According to her, “it is not our task to separate them or save Lukashenka from Putin.” Instead, it is necessary to save Belarus, both from Lukashenka and from Putin.
It is noted that Tykhanovskaya spoke in the capital of Norway on the sidelines of the Nobel Peace Prize awarding ceremony to the leader of the Venezuelan opposition Maria Corina Machado, whom she called “fantastic and fearless.”
The exiled Belarusian opposition leader accused Lukashenko of using political prisoners as bargaining chips and said the US should use both incentives and pressure in negotiations with Belarus’s authoritarian leader.
Tykhanovskaya demands from the “good Russians” a declaration that they will not encroach on Belarus.
In October 2024, representatives of the Investigative Committee of Russia removed 75 positions from colony No. 3 in Harpa, where the Russian opposition politician Oleksiy Navalny died.
