Lukashenko Not Planning to Surrender: Your Next Steps, Journalist Asks Tikhanovskaya

The former presidential candidate of Belarus, Sviatlana Tikhanovskaya, held a press conference. ‘I did not choose this path, I never wanted to become a political figure, but by the will of fate, I found myself in this position... Today in Belarus, people are beaten for expressing their opinions, imprisoned for participating in peaceful protests, my husband is in prison for daring to dream of a better life for people,’ she stated.

When asked how she envisions Lukashenko's departure from power, given that he does not plan to surrender, she replied, ‘I hope and believe that the leadership will listen to the voice of the people, who want change, and that fair, transparent elections will take place.’
