"There is a very serious reason of concern and not only for us in Belarus but for the whole Europe because any move by the Kremlin against Belarusian independence will be a continuation and expansion of Russia’s war in Europe that started with Ukraine. Such a move will threaten first all of our neighbors: Poland and Baltic states. --- the West must understand that protecting Belarusian independence means protecting Europe and each and every individual European state. --- we don’t want any violence, chaos in Belarus, nor we don’t want any Russian world or Russian tanks on our territory. There is a time-tested way out of this critical situation – a free and fair election, which is what opposition in Belarus supports and is demanding. These demands have to be heard and supported in the West as well."
