The Belarusian opposition has a chance to implement the common strategy.

Andrei Sannikov, the leader of the European Belarus civil campaign, said it in an interview with charter97.org.

The activist feels alright, and he is gradually finishing the hunger strike.

Charter97.org was informed about that by an activist of “European Belarus” Yuliya Stsepanava.

Freedom all over the world is in danger today.

Compromises with dictators are just going to undermine the European Union.

A conference “The Situation in Belarus in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict” was held on December 10, on the International Human Rights Day, in Warsaw University.

Belarus needs a path to democracy, not the stability of the dictatorship, Belarusian opposition members think.

Belarusian opposition members call on official Kyiv not to share the “interest in the dictatorial regime” of Aliaksandr Lukashenka. Andrei Sannkov, a former presidential candidate and coordinator of the European Belarus civil campaign, said it in Kyiv on December 16 ahead of the fourth anniversary of the suppression of the mass post-election protests in Belarus.

Until the “Dictators International” exists, Ukraine and Europe will be in danger.

Ukraine’s chances to survive are weak today and gloomy in the future. The reason for this is the position of the major player in the war in Ukraine. This player is not Russia that unleashed the war in Ukraine. This player is the West or, to be more precise — Europe – Andrei Sannikov, the leader of the European Belarus civil campaign emphasized in the article, published recently in “The Interpreter»”.
