January 14, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/strong><\/em> Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja thanked Poland for its support of Belarusians as she addressed a reception in Warsaw on January 13, hosted by Polish President Karol Nawrocki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional event, launched in 2022, gathered more than 150 Belarusian activists, artists and journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBelarusians have never been strangers to Poles, while Poland has always been close to Belarusians,\u201d the politician said. \u201cYou are not just our allies and neighbours \u2013 you are an example. It is in Poland\u2019s image that I see a new Belarus \u2014 strong, sovereign, caring for its citizens and not serving a foreign empire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am confident that we, Belarusians, will walk our path to freedom, as Poland once did,\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja added. “Of course, it seems to us that this path is long and difficult, but look how many former political prisoners there are among us today. This means that anything is possible and that we must continue our struggle and fight for the liberation of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusians are on the \u201clong road to independence and sovereignty” and Poland will \u201cnever abandon\u201d them on this journey, Nawrocki said on X after the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
