June 12, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> After today’s meeting between \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja and Jake Sullivan, US national security advisor, Washington has expressed “steadfast support” for Belarusians pursuing a democratic future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the meeting, Sullivan “made clear that the United States, together with partners and allies, will continue to take steps to hold the [Alaksandar] \u0141uka\u0161enka regime to account for its actions, including through the imposition of additional sanctions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja and Sullivan discussed the \u0141uka\u0161enka regime\u2019s support for Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine, political prisoners and flagrant human rights violations and reviewed plans to continue the Strategic Dialogue between the US government and Belarusian pro-democracy and civil society activists, says the White House’s statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja told Sullivan about Belarusian volunteer fighters in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of Ukraine’s victory for change in Belarus, according to her office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also touched on the military-political situation in her country, noting that Belarusians’ support for entering the war and merging with Russia was “negligent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanctions should target \u0141uka\u0161enka and his military assistance to Russia, and work toward the release of political prisoners, Cichano\u016dskaja stressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She urged the US government close loopholes that help Russia and Belarus to circumvent sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
