“Russian troops treacherously entered Ukraine through the territory of Belarus, raising the radioactive ash of Chernobyl, poisoning Ukrainians and Belarusians again 36 years later. Planes take off from your territory every day and launch rockets that kill our children and women. Now Putin’s criminal regime wants to throw it into the meat grinder of war your sons,” Stefanchuk said.
He urged the Belarusians not to be silent and follow their compatriots who help Ukraine fight the enemy. They have already proven that they can keep Russian troops out of their railroads.
“I appeal to Belarusian mothers – do not let your sons go to war! I appeal to Belarusian women – do not let your men and loved ones go to certain death! I appeal to Belarusian men – think about your children, whom you will leave as orphans, or about the unborn my children! I appeal to the Belarusian military – remember that criminal orders can and should not be carried out,” the head of the Verkhovna Rada addressed to the neighbors.
