- Don't lose sight of Belarus! Don't underestimate the role of Belarus in Russia's war in Ukraine!
"Dictatorships inevitably lead to war — whether against their own people or, as seen in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, against neighboring nations. The most effective way to prevent war is to dismantle authoritarian regimes." (from the article).
- Here's an article by former belarusian presidential candidate and diplomat Andrei Sannikov. Read about the sensitive strategic position of Belarus.
"Belarus occupies a geostrategic position of immense significance due to two critical regions: the Smolensk Gate and the Suwalki Gap."

Belarus holds the key to European security:
"Belarus is not merely a passive satellite of Russia — it is a critical geopolitical player. Its strategic position, controlling key corridors like the Smolensk Gate and Suwałki Gap, makes it central to both Russian military operations and European security. A free and democratic Belarus would eliminate a major launching ground for Russian aggression and significantly weaken Putin’s war efforts.
The West’s Misjudgment and failure to act strengthens authoritarianism:
The failure of the democratic world to recognize and counter authoritarian threats in a timely manner has led to repeated crises. Without proactive engagement — supporting democracy movements and taking decisive action against dictators — wars like the one in Ukraine will continue to erupt, threatening global stability." (Leader of the European Belarus civil campaign Andrei Sannikov)
