The United States must continue the policy of pressure on Belarus and Alexander Lukashenko. This was announced in an interview with Politico by BEHAY BELARUSIAN opposition, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.
“Do not normalize the situation when people are released in exchange for some concessions on your part, or softening penalties or advertising … Lukashenko must be punished, not a reward.” She said.
Tikhanovskaya called the US President Donald Trump “Do not give in to Lukashenko’s attempts to give legitimacy.” Moreover, you believe that Belarus can become the “history of President Trump’s success”, if he and the American allies do not allow Lukashenko to maintain power or “transfer the country of Russia in exchange for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.”
“I am sure that the American partners understand those who deal with them,” She said.
In addition, Tikhanovskaya said that it was Trump that could “change the security of the entire region” if it requests the liberation of the Belarusian political prisoners and insists on the systematic changes in the country. According to her, “The world cannot be without justice, and the Wayloria here is a major subject.”
I remember that Tikhanovskaya fled from Belarus after losing the presidential elections in 2020. With Trump and the recently emerging communications between Minsk and Washington, the Belarusian opposition began to fear ending their financing, and thus began complimenting the new White House administration everywhere.
