The best thing is for Ukraine and Belarus to be members of the European Union. I do not know whether the Belarusian people support this, but from the point of view of the economy, geopolitics, and independence – it is the right thing.
People in Belarus are smart. It is simply anti-European propaganda that has been working there for many years that spreads only one-sided narratives: that there would supposedly be restrictions on their business and development in Belarus, that prices would be high and salaries would be low, that people would be beggars. All this is simply propaganda. But of course, EU membership will be Belarusians’ own choice.
If there is free leadership that gives them freedom and respects Ukraine’s independence, we will confidently respect Belarus’s independence. The best thing that can be is peaceful relations, when we respect each other’s sovereignty and missiles do not fly from one country to another.
I would very much like the war to end and something to change in relations between our countries. After all, the Belarusian people did not start the war against Ukraine. I think this is the wisest choice or status in which Belarusians should remain.
