S. Cichanouskaja stated in an interview with the LRT portal that she hopes the future Lithuanian government will maintain policy continuity. She expressed the value placed on Lithuania’s long-term, clear, principled, and values-based stance.
Addressing the situation in Belarus, the leader of the Belarusian opposition reiterated that sanctions against the regime of Aliaksandr Lukashenko should remain in place until substantial changes occur within the neighboring country. S. Cichanouskaja put forward a specific proposal regarding the application of international sanctions.
She suggested a dual-pronged approach: American sanctions could be utilized to secure the release of political prisoners, while European Union sanctions could be directed toward facilitating the country’s overall freedom. According to her proposal, this combination of measures would ensure that systemic changes in Belarus become irreversible. Her comments underscore a commitment to consistent international pressure while emphasizing the importance of preserving Lithuania’s established policy framework.
The call for maintaining a firm stance on democratic principles and human rights in the region remains a central theme of her remarks concerning both Lithuania’s governance and the political situation in Belarus.
