Personally, I am against deeper integration with Russia because Belarus is a sovereign nation. We want to be independent. We want to find friends and not enemies among other countries.

More quotes by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya

Democracy is about participation in the first place. And with participation comes responsibility for decisions and actions.

But I understand I have no right to give up, because people who are in jail didn't give up. They now are suffering for us. Only these people, the families of those repressed in Belarus, have given me the energy to go on.

I know that people have chosen me, that I'm a national leader. I'm a national elected president and I'm here with them.

I call on the USA to be with us. It’s very important when a regime is destroying everything in Belarus, destroying mass media, destroying all the organizations, it’s extremely important to support all those people.
