“No to fascism!”: Ukraine clashes with Belarusian civil society
In Minsk, near the building of the Ukrainian Embassy in Belarus, an action was held under the slogans “fascism will not pass.”
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, the event was dedicated to the 77th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
Representatives of several Belarusian parties – the Union, the LDP and the Communist Party – gathered under the walls of the embassy.
“Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers liberated Europe from fascism. And we will free her again if necessary! They demolished the last bust of Zhukov in Ukraine. Yes, they must kneel before him! But instead they demolish monuments...
Every Ukrainian politician will be responsible for what is happening in their country today. It's entirely their fault. They called the coup d'etat a "revolution of dignity"! What a revolution if it is an ordinary coup. Shame on them for destroying Ukraine,” said Oleg Gaidukevich, a member of the House of Representatives and chairman of the LDP.
It is noteworthy that during the rally several European diplomats entered the Ukrainian embassy building, but none of them stopped in front of the protesters.
“I think that it was not possible to reach those who gathered for this Sabbath. We saw them coming here. These are the descendants and ideological heirs of those whom we defeated in 1945. Naturally, for them Victory Day is a tragedy,” Belta quoted Communist Party representative Nikolai Volovich as saying.
Those present also supported Russia's special operation in Ukraine.
“We will still win. The special operation will end with our common victory, and we will see a completely different Ukraine, in the union of Belarus and Russia,” said the head of the Union party, Sergei Lushch.
According to Belarusian political scientist Alexander Shpakovsky, the action near the Ukrainian embassy in front of European politicians took place in accordance with all the “democratic values” that are so actively promoted in the West.
“The Ukrainian embassy today collided with the Belarusian “civil society.” Everything is as our Western partners like it. These are public activists; the government cannot influence them. Freedom of speech and all that,” he wrote on his blog.
