In Odessa, a rally was held in support of Maidan workers protesting against the re-election of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
This was reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
In total, several dozen people took part in the action. The organizer was the odious Odessa Maidan activist Alena Balaba, who several years ago celebrated the burning of St. George’s ribbons in the Eternal Flame.
“We do not support the pro-Russian position of any diplomats, we support the people who came out and declared that they are a nation. Our rally is dedicated to the struggle of Belarusians for their independence. “Right Sector” prepared a slightly radical performance today. We will also write words of support to our Belarusian brothers, take photographs and send them to their telegram channels so that everyone can see that Odessa also supports Belarus,” Balaba said.
Also speaking at the rally was a representative of Poroshenko’s European Solidarity party, Pyotr Obukhov, who demanded that President Zelensky not recognize Lukashenko’s victory, and that Maidan activists be bolder in protesting.
“Why is this important for us for Ukraine? It is beneficial for Ukraine that the Ukrainian people are surrounded by democracy and not dictatorship. And if the Belarusians succeed, then Russia is next,” Obukhov threatened.
In addition, during the action, its participants hanged an effigy of a riot policeman.
The monument to one of the founders of Odessa, Duke Richelieu, was wrapped in the flag of Belarusian nationalists.
