Diplomatic adviser to Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Dzianis Kuchynski, spoke about what to expect from the new political season. In his view, it could prove decisive.
“We hope that September, the new political season, will begin with good news about the release of our Belarusian heroes and heroines. The US administration has done tremendous work here, and we are working together, and we will continue this work until every one of our heroes and heroines is released. We will also focus on how to help the released political prisoners. We hope that in the new political season we will be able to increase the International Humanitarian Fund, which helps Belarusian political prisoners.
It is clear that September also means the UN General Assembly. And here again Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya will be on the same platform with President Trump and President Zelenskyy. It is a unique opportunity to talk to world leaders on the sidelines and put Belarus back on the agenda as well. And, of course, the new political season for us will proceed under the flag of Ukraine, and we have achieved great progress with the Ukrainian authorities and, of course, will continue this cooperation. And here it is very important, of course, that the fate of Belarus also depends on the fate of Ukraine.
And we will also continue the same sometimes invisible work to help Belarusians both inside the country and abroad, with Belarusians in Poland, Lithuania and other countries, with legalization, bank accounts and residence permits. So the work continues, the work is ongoing. This will be a very important political season. And I think it could truly become decisive both for Belarus and for Ukraine”, Kuchynski said in a short video published by Tsikhanouskaya’s Office.
