Tykhanovska said: "We admire you, dear Ukrainians and President [Zelenskyy]. Your actions are an example of unity of government leaders and the whole people.
We, Belarusians, are against the regime that has already given up part of our country's sovereignty to participate in the aggression against your country. Belarusians overseas are helping refugees and supplying equipment and medicine. Belarusians in Ukraine are serving as volunteers and helping the territorial defence. Belarusians are forming a national corps of volunteers and soldiers who refused to execute the criminal orders of [Belarusian President] Lukashenka. There are more and more Belarusians like that, and they are your allies. Now and forever".
Details: Tsikhanouskaya stated that Belarusian citizens came out on the streets en masse again, despite the brutal beatings demonstrators received over the last two years and the dismantling of free media. According to her, the security forces of the self-proclaimed Lukashenka regime have detained over 900 people in the last two days.
