“Lukashenko has made us a full-fledged aggressor in this war… We in Belarus believe this is high treason.”
“Most Belarusians don’t want this war. They don’t want to threaten our neighbour.”
“Lukashenko is giving away our sovereignty and independence to Russia… He’s not making the major decisions. Putin is.”
“We had seen Donbass, Crimea, Georgia, Moldova… but we could not imagine that a fully-fledged attack on a sovereign country could take place.”
“The weaker Lukashenko is, the weaker Putin is.”
