Tihanovskaya identified opportunities for a change of power in Belarus.

The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, identified two opportunities for a change of power in Belarus. She emphasized that democratic forces must be prepared for this.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing the publication "Mirror".

According to Tsikhanouskaya, there are several scenarios in which such an opportunity may arise. Firstly, it pertains to the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war with Ukraine's victory.

"And that’s why I support giving Ukraine everything possible for victory. And (so that - ed.) at the time of negotiations, they are in a strong position. Ukraine's victory means that Putin is weak, and consequently, Lukashenko is weak. He is already very weak, supported only by Putin," she stated.

Another window of opportunity, Tsikhanouskaya believes, may arise due to economic problems that will affect Belarus.

"This could be linked to some economic issues if Lukashenko's pockets are emptied due to sanctions. And the authorities will not be able to maintain the so-called economic stability in Belarus," the politician explained.

She also noted that a window of opportunity could emerge concerning Lukashenko's health. At the same time, Tsikhanouskaya emphasized that one should not rely solely on this, as circumstances could differ, but at the same time, another "black swan" is possible.

As the politician stated, the task of democratic forces and Belarusians themselves is to be prepared for this moment.

"At that moment, the Belarusian democratic forces and Belarusians must be politically very strong and united. Let all our democratic partners, who also see Belarus as independent and democratic, stand with us at this moment... And our task is to coordinate and sense each other in this window of opportunity," Tsikhanouskaya said.

She also pointed out that, according to history, each country that transitioned from dictatorship to democracy had its own path. Identical scenarios do not exist. But at that moment, "we must be much stronger than Lukashenko's regime."

"Elections" in Belarus

It should be noted that today Belarus held extraordinary so-called "elections" for president. Once again, for the seventh time, the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, ran for office, allegedly receiving about 87% of the votes according to exit polls.

We also reported that the EU reacted to this event. The head of EU diplomacy, Kaia Kallas, described the "elections" in Belarus as illegitimate due to falsifications, repressions, and restrictions on citizens' rights.

Meanwhile, the EU is calling for the immediate release of political prisoners.
