Pavel Latushka: Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Representative of the Cabinet for the Transition of Power, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Leader of the "Latushka Team and the Movement 'For Freedom'" faction within the 3rd convocation of the Coordination Council.

"What we managed to achieve at previous PACE sessions – enshrining in the Assembly's documents the responsibility of Lukashenka and his top military-political leadership for the act of aggression against Ukraine and the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children – has already become the foundation for the adoption of subsequent PACE documents",

noted Pavel Latushka, delegate of the Coordination Council and member of the Belarusian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, during the 2026 winter session of PACE, commenting on the adoption of the PACE resolution "Supporting Commitment to a Comprehensive, Just and Sustainable Peace for Ukraine and Security of the European Continent" and the memorandum to the resolution.

It is important to note that the memorandum to the adopted resolution states that a Special Tribunal has been established "to hold Russian and Belarusian leaders accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine".

It also states that "Russia's aggressive war, carried out with the participation of Lukashenka's regime in Belarus, has led to a hardening of the position of both regimes", and that "as a participant in the aggressive war against Ukraine, Belarus has also strengthened its military alliance with Russia."

The memorandum to the resolution emphasizes Lukashenka's involvement in the deportation of Ukrainian children to Belarus.

"Within my activities as a delegate of the Coordination Council to PACE, I will continue efforts aimed at creating a legal foundation for further accountability of the top military-political leadership of Lukashenka's regime for aggression against Ukraine. We will also use other possible instruments to achieve justice for Belarusians – victims of Lukashenka's regime. It is planned that a separate speech during the PACE session will be dedicated to this during a specially organized event focused on transborder crimes committed by Lukashenka's regime against Belarusians,"

Pavel Latushka emphasized.
