“Today is a day that every Belarusian knows – Freedom Day. And it is the day of a nation that still has to suffer and gain true independence and real security for itself.
Belarus has gone through difficult turns in history, and the fact that Europe's attention to Belarus was not enough at key moments is a fact. But Belarus cannot be lost. And the people of Belarus should certainly not be ignored.
The fact that Lukashenka chose this very day to travel to Pyongyang — further away from his people and closer to his dream of lifelong family rule — speaks volumes about his intentions.
Europe is a community of free nations. There should be no place here for hereditary dictatorships. There should be no place here for regimes that profit from trading sovereignty and assisting in terror and aggression.
The world needs peace. And that means freedom is needed by all European nations without exception. We wish freedom to the Belarusian people and thank those Belarusians who stand with Ukrainians in defense against Russian aggression.
Long live Belarus!” — wrote Volodymyr Zelensky.
