The President believes that more than 70% of Belarusians support Ukraine and are against the Russian Federation.
Russia seeks to annex Belarus, but Belarusians fight back and can remain an independent society. This is what President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Italian media on Saturday, May 13.
“I don’t think that Belarus is Russia. Russia is doing everything to get Russia out of Belarus. Even if not… to make it part of Russia, to manage everything there,” he said.
According to Zelensky, many Belarusian institutions have “their own people” of the Kremlin, who control certain processes.
At the same time, the president noted that more than 70% of the population of Belarus is against Russia, they are “disturbed by the war, they support Ukraine”, and this is a big difference with the Russians.
“This indicates that, despite the information policy, despite any narratives, Belarusians are fighting. When you are told on television, on the Internet, in newspapers that Russia is your brother, and Ukraine is an enemy, it is difficult to live here. But they are fighting, and I believe that the Belarusian society will remain free, it is difficult, it is also a war, because they have no victims, but there are missing people who have been brainwashed, it is a war for freedom. , freedom of speech, freedom of choice, this is a big war for the same values,” said Zelensky.
According to the head of state, Belarusians understand that Moldova or the Baltic countries could be next for Russian aggression.
We remind you that earlier journalists discovered an internal document of the Kremlin, according to which the Russian Federation plans to completely occupy Belarus until 2030. The formal leader of the country, Alexander Lukashenko, said that “The Belarus is an independent sovereign state.”
