Organisations are fighting on the side of ukrainian people against this war. and in belarus, we still continue in ourfight, mostly underground. it's like partisan war, but every day we create multiple points of pressure inside belarus to show lukashenko that he lost his legitimacy, he lost respect of belarusian people, and it also influences the situation. now he lost even support from the army, from soldiers, because belarusian people, belarusian soldiers, don't want to fight against ukraine. and it's the reason why our troops hadn't still crossed the border into ukraine. exactly, i was going...

Protests in the summer of 2020, that feeling that lukashenko�*s grip on power may be weakened, he is still there. there are, according to the un's latest human rights report on belarus, roughly 1,000 political prisoners still being held, including your own husband. and your movement basically has gone completely underground. the street protests are almost wiped out. most of your key leaders are either in exile or in prison. lukashenko seems to have won. lukashenko didn't win. every day, he knows that he is not recognised by his people. he's not recognised by international society. by democra...
