The possible agreement by the EU and the US to lift sanctions on Belarusian potash fertilizers (in exchange for the transit of Ukrainian grain through our territory) has caused just hysteria in the opposition.
They face the risk of repeating the fate of the Ukrainian refugees, who were sent beyond the barbed wire fence. Seeing such precedents, the Belarusian opposition leaders in Warsaw and Vilnius unleash a screaming information campaign to discredit the plans to lift the sanctions.
The result of the telephone conversation between the Belarusian President and the UN Secretary General caused the most real hysteria in the headquarters of the fugitives. As soon as the prospect of lifting sanctions against our potash fertilizers appeared on the horizon, the office of democratic forces, as they call themselves, started scribbling letters. Only they write not to Stalin, not to the NKVD, but to the foreign bosses with a request to punish the population of Belarus.
Excerpts from Tikhanovskaya's letter to the UN Secretary General, the President of the USA and the President of the EU Council about the idea of lifting the sanctions on potash:
"Instead of lifting sanctions on Lukashenko, they should be strengthened, expanded and better enforced."
This is simply unthinkable. Usually politicians negotiate to help their country, and here people want to put the country down for their own ambitions. They don't even hide their aims!
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: "We don't have an oligarchy like in Russia, all the income is concentrated in state enterprises. It is clear that the Belarusians, working for state enterprises, will be somehow affected. This will be a new window of opportunity for the Belarusians, for protests, for strikes."
"In 2020, we wanted to solve our internal crisis program, so that no other country would interfere."
"I am under Lithuanian protection, and they cannot guarantee my safety."
Another quote from Sveta's letter from Lithuania: "Lukashenko has lost the ability to make sovereign decisions, he is not considered a minimally reliable party for making agreements."
