It will give them even more room to tighten their grip on Belarus. But if peace is secured on Ukraine\u2019s terms, it will weaken dictators, and create new opportunities for Belarus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preserving Belarusian sovereignty and ensuring the transition to democracy will help achieve stable and just peace, Cichano\u016dskaja said. The first step towards it is weakening Moscow&#8217;s influence in Belarus and withdrawing Russian troops, she noted, calling for more pressure on \u0141uka\u0161enka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, Cichano\u016dskaja is expected to address MSC from the main stage for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"insert-block\">\n\n    <div class=\"insert-block__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"354\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752-354x236.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752-354x236.jpg 354w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752-734x490.jpg 734w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752-178x118.jpg 178w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tihanovskaya_ai_action_screen_1128x752.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/>                        <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> Politics<\/label>\n\n                <\/div>\n    <div class=\"insert-block__text\">\n                    <label class=\"insert-block__tag\">Politics<\/label>\n                <h3 class=\"insert-block__title\">Cichano\u016dskaja at AI conference urges tech giants to prevent dictators from using their products<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"insert-block__descr\">February 11, Pozirk.
