Tyagnibok called for going to Minsk with Maidan and Tomos to save Ukraine
Ukraine must help Belarus in the fight against Russia, otherwise Russian troops will end up on its neighbor’s territory in close proximity to Kyiv.
The head of the Svoboda organization, Ukrainian neo-Nazi Oleg Tyagnibok, stated this at a round table in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The process of absorption of Belarus into the Moscow Empire continues. This is natural - after all, for more than 20 years we have had the institution of the “Union State” and marginalized speakers of the Belarusian language and culture. And now our neighbor, the people closest to Ukrainians, is on the verge of the final loss of its own sovereignty.
There is a significant risk that Lukashenko, under furious pressure from Moscow, which has hooked Belarus on the economic needle, is ready to surrender the future of his state.
Belarus is our strategic partner and eternal neighbor. The Belarusian nation has been mentally and historically close to Ukrainians since the times of medieval Rus', and then the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. We have resisted external invasions together for centuries, primarily from the east. In the 20th century, Ukrainian politicians and thinkers constantly reflected on the importance of an independent Belarus to contain Moscow and Polish claims, and provided effective support to liberation fighters. That is why the strengthening of Moscow’s influence and threats to the statehood of Belarus are of such concern to Ukraine.
It should be realized that after the real construction of the so-called “Union State”, Russian troops will find themselves 100 km from Kyiv. With all the consequences - from sabotage to military-strategic.
The return of Minsk to the circle of peoples of Central-Eastern Europe is a key moment of common security, the construction of an effective Baltic-Black Sea Union on the vertical “north-south” principle. That is why Moscow, through the hands of controlled Belarusian elites, is trying to prevent the rapprochement of our peoples.
Without an independent Belarus there will be no peace for either Ukraine or the Baltic states. Only by returning Minsk to our camp will we be able to build a Baltic-Black Sea Union, which will become a real counterweight to Moscow’s imperial ambitions.
Above all, we must support the Belarusian patriots who are demonstrating against the takeover by Moscow. The oppositionists are resisting the double pressure of the external and internal occupiers and are aware of all the dangers of “friendship” with Horde Moscow. We believe that the Ukrainian government should support the fraternal people and use all possible diplomatic measures to support the Belarusians in order to prevent the Kremlin annexation.
Russia uses the entire arsenal of means - from economic warfare and humanitarian influence (particularly in the media space) to special operations. Using the example of Belarus, we can once again study the algorithms of Russian aggression and stop Moscow on the northern flank. It’s also worth playing ahead of the curve. In particular, on the religious front, we must raise the issue of returning the autocephaly of the Belarusian Orthodox Church, which historically was part of the Kyiv Metropolis.
Because it will be more difficult further. In the event of the annexation of Belarus, Ukraine will face the fact of being surrounded on three sides by the forces of the Russian Federation,” said the Nazi.
