Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya took part in a solidarity rally with Ukraine held every Monday in Stockholm. In her address, she spoke about the responsibility of the Lukashenka regime for its complicity in the war against Ukraine:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do I feel? I feel ashamed that, despite all the strength of the free world, we still cannot stop Russia and provide Ukraine with all the support it needs. I feel ashamed when I see Lukashenka standing next to Putin at a military parade, like a Russian governor.<\/p>\n

I feel ashamed that Russian nuclear weapons are being deployed on Belarusian soil. That missiles and drones are still launched from our territory and continue to kill Ukrainians.<\/p>\n

I feel ashamed that my beloved Belarus \u2014 a European, peace-loving, freedom-loving Belarus \u2014 is perceived as a rogue state, as a co-aggressor and accomplice. And wherever I go, I have to explain again and again that Belarus is not Russia and that the Belarusian people are not the regime\u201d.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya stressed that Belarusians continue their resistance underground, in exile, on the front lines, and in the media:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yet, despite everything, I also feel deep pride. I am proud that, despite brutal repression, the Belarusian people continue to resist: some underground, others in exile. I am proud of the railway workers who sabotaged Russian military logistics. Of the Belarusian fighters who joined the defense of Ukraine. Of the journalists who continued telling the truth from exile.<\/p>\n

I am proud of our political prisoners, who, after years of isolation and torture, have not surrendered their dignity or principles.<\/p>\n

I am proud of the Ukrainian people. I am proud of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and of Ukraine\u2019s courage and dignity.<\/p>\n

And of course, I am proud that Sweden has remained principled and steadfast in its approach toward dictators. I am proud that Sweden is one of the world\u2019s leading supporters of Ukraine. And I am proud that Sweden continues to consistently support our struggle for democracy in Belarus\u201d.<\/p>\n
