Krystsian Shynkevich: On September 8, We Are Going To Show At Square That We Are Ready To Defend Country

It is better to go to a peaceful protest in due time than to go to a real war later.

Student activist Krystsian Shynkevich, one of the active participants of the spring protest rallies, has told bnknews.org why it is important to go to Kastrychnitskaya Square on the anniversary of victory in the battle of Vorsha:

– For me, the day of September 8 is a day of remembrance of our ancestors who defended our country. They gave their lives for it, not for the kind power that we have now.

We must show at the rally, that we do not want foreign troops in Belarus, that we will not let them seize our country in the way Putin has been trying to do with Ukraine.

As a resident of Belarus, I do not need any foreign troops in my homeland, and I can say this out loud on September 8. Moreover, as a result of a possible occupation of our country, we might lose our history, language, culture, history, which our ancestors built for centuries, completely.

It is better to go to the Square and speak now, to preserve peace in our land than to remain silent, and then go to war.

Let's remind, the prevention rally will be held at Kastrychnitskaya Square in Minsk on September 8. The beginning is at 19 p.m.
