Pavel Latushka Participated in Westerplatte Events on the Anniversary of the Second World War

On September 1, at the invitation of the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Poland, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Pavel Latushka, took part in events at Westerplatte dedicated to the 86th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War. The events were attended by the President and Prime Minister of Poland, Karol Nawrocki and Donald Tusk, Marshal of the Sejm of Poland, Szymon Hołownia, and others.

During the event, Pavel Latushka held brief conversations with ministers of defense, culture, and education, as well as with deputy ministers of foreign affairs and regional policy.

Pavel Latushka:

"When you have a nightmare, upon waking, you escape it, freeing yourself from horror and fear. Those who woke up on the night of September 1, 1939, to artillery fire and falling bombs found themselves in a nightmare that claimed millions of human lives around the world.

Westerplatte, where I was present today on September 1 at the invitation of the Polish government, once again reminded us of the scale of human tragedy that arises when politicians are obsessed with power over people, when the desire to fulfill their ambitions leads to the devaluation of human life.

Today, we must above all value human life — both of the Ukrainians, who are fighting for every Ukrainian and for every European, and of the Belarusians, who under torture in the prisons of the regime sacrifice their freedom for the sake of each of us. Not forgetting these sacrifices is our duty and responsibility: to fight for freedom today and for lasting guarantees of a free Belarus in the European House tomorrow".
