Russia, Belarus, Ukraine - "The West must take three effective steps"

Charter 97 (that has been blocked in Belarus) 

Leader of the European Belarus campaign, former Belarusian presidential candidate, diplomat, dissident and Lukashenko torture victim Andrei Sannikov commenting and answering questions on presidential "elections" in Russia ("the national tragedy of Russia)": 

- "What specific steps can the Western civilization take to protect itself?

The West must take three effective steps: 

1. "The energy independence and supply of energy without Russia's participation would be the most effective step. 2. urgently clear up the West from influence of Russian capital associated with the Putin regime. 3. the democracy of our region needs assistance. It means more decisive assistance to independence and democratization of Ukraine and Belarus.  One cannot but notice that there is a cooperative of dictators in the territory of the former Soviet Union, which targets against the West and its members are connected by mutual cover-up." (from the article) 

Charter 97: "The national tragedy of Russia" (full text)
https://charter97.org/en/news/2018/3/19/283299/
- "What are possible consequences of the fourth term of Putin?

- They are extremely dangerous. The maniac with nuclear, chemical, biological weapons, who is able to apply it anywhere in the world, is in power. One must take seriously the situation. Today only Western countries have some levers of influence on the situation. --- 

- What threat does Putin's fourth term bear directly for Belarus?

- Under Lukashenka the scenario of Crimea jeopardises Belarus. It will be the most logical option for Putin. Russian politics and Russian media are already taking the basic ground of Belarus. The blocking of the website "Charter-97" is the best way to help Putin to implement his plans for Belarus. And no dictator, like Lukashenka, will be able to defend our sovereignty, our independence.


Therefore, there should be clear support of democratic forces, decisive pressure on Lukashenka's regime for fair elections to take place in Belarus, and not like these organized in Russia and Belarus today."
