The leader of the Belarusan Popular Front claims that Belarus’ dependence on Russia reached critical level.
Belarus’ dependence on Russia has reached a “critical level,” Aliaksei Janukevich, leader of the Belarusan Popular Front (BPF), said at a meeting of the opposition party’s Soim (Council) on December 7, BelaPAN reports.
The politician warned that “many in Europe are ready to strike Belarus off the agenda.” “They start to believe in the EU that the Belarusan authorities are less and less capable of making independent decisions that would show that they are leading a sovereign state rather than a Russian colony,” said Mr. Janukevich.
The BPF acknowledges the existence of a realistic threat to Belarus’ independence, he said.
Mr. Janukevich urged what he called all pro-Belarusan forces to join their efforts in fight for the country’s independence of Russia. “Such a mobilization is difficult to be conducted when any protest and independent thought is stifled. But we have to show that the people is not ready to surrender Belarus to Russia, is against our country being regarded as a Russian colony,” he said.
