I am thankful for the important discussion today on the connection between our struggle for freedom in Belarus & the war in Ukraine. You can still watch the recording at https://t.co/jfqEgMeIvr

Last week 53-year-old Belarusian Siarhei Hrybovich was sentenced to 4,5 years in prison for intending to join the defenders of Ukraine. That's our reality in Belarus - thought crimes are enough to send you behind bars. But Belarusians continue to risk their freedom to support 🇺🇦. https://t.co/MsorBRAtOg

Heartwarming to see how Belarusians who sacrificed their lives for #Ukraine🇺🇦 were honored with a march in #Kyiv this week. It followed the path taken by the funeral procession of Belarusian Mikhail Zhyzneuski, who died as a hero during #Euromaidan in 2014. #WeStandWithUkraine https://t.co/RXjqgDhKZx

I am saddened by the news that another Belarusian volunteer died fighting for Ukraine. Eduard Lobau was a former political prisoner who was held in one of the worst prisons. We won't forget his sacrifice for the freedom of Ukraine & Belarus. He will stay in our hearts forever! https://t.co/Dg6sBhaC7f

I met Belarusians in Warsaw yesterday together with the Cabinet. I hope that we answered all your questions — on the legalization of Belarusians, support for volunteers in Ukraine, Belarusian schools in 🇵🇱 & more. Many asked what they can do to help — thank you for not giving up! https://t.co/J19b8s8HTS

Three years for a song. It tells you everything about the repressions in Belarus. Singer Mieryjem Hierasimienka has been sentenced to 3 years of restricted freedom for singing a 🇺🇦 song in a bar. But I know that Belarusians will continue to support Ukraine no matter the cost. https://t.co/h9hkca4ls6

This morning, I attended the Ukrainian breakfast at @WEF with the virtual participation of President @ZelenskyyUa. I admire our brothers & sisters in Ukraine for defending their land & European values every day. The people of Belarus will always stand with Ukraine🇺🇦. #WEF2023 https://t.co/LC7v7rUVw9

Dear @AndersFoghR, I appreciate your support today & I completely agree with your strong statement - Europe will not be free till Ukraine and Belarus are free.

The fact that Belarusian troops have not been sent to Ukraine is not because Lukashenka doesn’t want to. He knows Belarusians don’t see Ukrainians as enemies, I told @FinancialTimes at @wef. The regime is much weaker & more unstable than it appears. #WEF23 https://t.co/y0NhJumDI0

When dealing with the dictator Lukashenka, we must remember that he never keeps his word & acts as Russia's puppet. In early 2022 he made promises to Ukraine of no invasion. We know what happened next. His actions have led to genocide & put the independence of Belarus at risk. https://t.co/ylVzUTC5qS
