Aug 9, 2020, is a special day for me. When @Tsihanouskaya won the election, it ignited a fire of hope that burns in me every day. Just as it does for millions of Belarusians. Our march to freedom is irreversible. Democracy will prevail. Autocracy will crumble. #StandWithBelarus

Great to meet w/ senior @GOP staffers of @RepStefanik, @SenRickScott, @repkevinhern, & @SenThomTillis. W/ @iSANS_CEE we stressed: 🇧🇾 regime is the weak link in the anti-🇺🇸 axis of Moscow–Beijing–Tehran–Havana–Caracas. Supporting a free Belarus is an act of peace through strength.

Great meetings at @StateDept w/ DAS Smith & C. Rendo, 🇪🇺 advisor to @DeputySecState. Grateful for continued 🇺🇸 efforts to free polit. prisoners. Emphasized the need to advance peace & liberty through strength. Stressed importance of ongoing Strategic Dialogue between 🇺🇸 & ⚪️🔴⚪️.

Productive & warm consultations at the @WhiteHouse w/ Andy Baker — DNSA to @POTUS & NSA to @VP. It marked the highest-level ⚪️🔴⚪️ meeting at the WH since @realDonaldTrump election. On behalf of @Tsihanouskaya I thanked 🇺🇸 for the support & discussed next steps for free #Belarus.

Met with our longstanding friend @DMatulionis, NSA to @GitanasNauseda. Conveyed @Tsihanouskaya deep thanks for 🇱🇹President’s strong leadership in supporting ⚪️🔴⚪️. Talked countering Lukashenka’s destabilizing actions, his backing of 🇷🇺 war vs 🇺🇦& boosting pressure on 🇧🇾 regime.

Great to meet longtime friend @radekfogiel at @pisorgpl HQ. I briefed him on @tsikhanouski_s release & thanked him for standing with Belarusians in 🇵🇱. We discussed how to free all political prisoners incl. A. Poczobut & 🇵🇱-⚪️🔴⚪️-🇺🇸 ties. A free #Belarus is key to 🇵🇱 security.

It was an honor for ⚪️🔴⚪️ first couple, @Tsihanouskaya and @tsikhanouski_s , to meet 🇵🇱 President @AndrzejDuda. We’re deeply grateful to @prezydentpl and his entire team — especially my friend @wkolarski — for their unwavering support to a democratic #Belarus over the years.

Belarus’ first couple Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya and her husband @tsikhanouski_s on their first official visit together to 🇵🇱 for meetings with President @prezydentpl and FM @sikorskiradek.

No other president alive today has had to shoulder what 🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa has. I support him fully, unconditionally, and wholeheartedly. To me, President Zelenskyy is a hero.

Heartfelt message from @tsikhanouski_s — released husband of @Tsihanouskaya — on the unique role & powerful leadership of 🇺🇸 @POTUS in freeing political prisoners in #Belarus.

Right now at 🇺🇸 Embassy in Vilnius. Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya and her husband Siarhei. All political prisoners will be free! Belarus will be free!

Historic meeting in Madrid between President-elects @EdmundoGU & @Tsihanouskaya w/ @MariaCorinaYA online. A personal honor to finally embrace mi amigo @Urruchurtu after 400 days held hostage. Autocrats crumble when we’re united. Freedom isn’t a dream. It’s a force. ¡Venceremos!

Glad to be warmly received by Amb. @tbalayan at 🇦🇲 Embassy in Brussels. We followed up on the recent talks between @Tsihanouskaya and PM @NikolPashinyan & FM @AraratMirzoyan Armenia is strongly committed to its 🇪🇺 path. Both democratic #Belarus and Armenia belong in Europe.

Great to meet @adam_alec, Deputy Head of Cabinet to @vonderleyen & a dear friend since 2020. We discussed dem. forces plans, 🇧🇾 role in the war against 🇺🇦, and our Red Paper on 🇪🇺–Belarus Security. Supporting a free #Belarus means investing in regional defense & European values.

Today in Vilnius, a solidarity bike ride was held to support media workers imprisoned in Belarus, marking the 30th anniversary of the Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ). From our office, @Dz_Kuchynski joined the ride to show that we won’t stop until they are free.

Glad to make a quick stop in London 🇬🇧 to meet w/ my friends at @10DowningStreet Foreign Affairs SPAD & @UKLabour MPs and represent @Tsihanouskaya at @ConcordiaSummit. We must keep democratic #Belarus on the UK agenda. Next stop: Brussels. For the ⚪️🔴⚪️ - 🇪🇺 Consultative Group.

Great meetings last week at @desdelamoncloa & @MAECgob w/ DGs @pilar_sbs & Luis Fonseca. We discussed: ✔️ Support for political prisoners ✔️ 🇪🇸 support to ⚪️🔴⚪️ on 🇪🇺 &🌐 levels ✔️ Legalization support for exiled Belarusians in 🇪🇸 Muchas gracias por su solidaridad con #Belarus

Insightful talk with my friend @CharlesTPowell, Director of @rielcano, who always keeps ⚪️🔴⚪️ in his cabinet. Discussed: 1⃣Regional security 2⃣ 🇪🇸 strategic role in supporting democracy in #Belarus & the region 3⃣joint events w/ @Tsihanouskaya office & our partner @iSANS_CEE

Un placer reunirme en @Congreso_Es con @Begonasarre @cayetanaAT @Milamarcos @cfcfloriano de @PSOE y @ppopular. Apoyo bipartidista a la #Belarus democrática. Agenda: 1⃣ Grupo de amistad con ⚪️🔴⚪️ 2⃣ Apoyo a los presos políticos 3⃣ Deslegitimar a 🇧🇾 Lukashenka ¡Gracias, amigos!
