Unfortunately, it's not the first time that Russia uses this evil strategy to intimidate the oppressed. In fact, it draws on its Soviet-era practices. I am glad to see that after many attempts the European Parliament finally recognized that in a widely supported text. 2/7

A strong address on the State of the EU by President @vonderleyen.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, Madam President, bravery does have a name and that name is Ukraine. Our Union is not complete without this country of heroes - we will better off with Ukraine among us.

RT @MFA_Ukraine: #OTD, 508y ago, the troops of the Grand Duchy of #Lithuania defeated the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the battle of Orsha – one of the biggest battles of the 16th century in Europe.

In the @europarl_en there is a group of parliamentarians who have taken up the godparenthood of BY political prisoners and send them messages of support. I am not sure whether our words of support reach them, but we are determined to continue sending them.

For now, unfortunately, we cannot change the fate of the brightest Belarusians held in Lukashenko's prisons. Everything, including the future of this dictator, is being decided on the frontlines in Ukraine. That is where our help must be the most effective. 1/3

The least we can do is show our support for the imprisoned Belarusians through letters. I have sent one again to Yuri Vlasov from Gomel. He has been sentenced to six and a half years simply because he was Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya's staff member during her 2020 campaign. 2/3
