Belarus in Crisis: President-Elect Tsikhanouskaya Speaks Out – UNGA Interview
Investors, diplomats, and human rights advocates—President-elect Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya delivers a powerful call for democratic reform, freedom, and foreign investment in a post-dictatorship Belarus during the United Nations General Assembly.
In this exclusive New to The Street interview, Tsikhanouskaya shares her journey from housewife to head of the democratic movement after the 2020 Belarusian elections were stolen by Alexander Lukashenko. She highlights the regime’s ongoing human rights abuses, the imprisonment of over 1,300 political dissidents—including her husband—and how Belarus has been dragged into Russia’s war against Ukraine.
She urges the international community to:
Recognize Belarusian democracy-in-exile
Maintain pressure on the Lukashenkoregime
Prepare to invest in Belarus post-dictatorship
Support students, independent media, and civil society
With Belarus poised to undergo privatization and economic rebuilding, Tsikhanouskaya calls for investors to stay alert for opportunities once democratic change takes place. She emphasizes that a free Belarus is essential for regional stability, European security, and economic growth.
