At the “New Belarus” conference, we signed a protocol on cooperation, one point of which predictably sparked reaction and discussion. Interestingly, among the first to respond were top regime propagandists and some "independent Russian media", such as SOTA. The point in question is about recognising Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's authority as the national leader until free and fair elections are conducted in Belarus or until she decides to resign from her position. The anticipated reaction is: "You've created a dictatorship". Or a monarchy, depending on one's preference. Well, let’s examine what we’ve built and why. And whether everything is really as scary as it is presented. Let’s start by noting that the accusations of “dictatorship” or “monarchy” are, to put it mildly, detached from reality. These terms imply actual power, but no one in the democratic forces holds real power. This is an obvious fact. Over whom or what is the power? Where are its attributes? They do not exist because this is not a story about power within the democratic forces. This is a story about the struggle against Lukashenko’s regime. And for that, a systemic alternative is needed, along with its legitimate leadership. The need for this leadership (not to be confused with real power, which, as we see, is not held by either Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya or the democratic institutions) is also linked to international support and the level of representation of the system we have built to fight against Lukashenko’s regime, which is unlawfully retaining power within the country. It is also crucial for lobbying support for this struggle on the international stage. The higher our level of representation, the greater the support we receive. If we give up this representation and our role as a legitimate actor, then Lukashenko's regime becomes the only option, and recognition of it will follow. Eliminating the alternative, including Tsikhanouskaya, the Cabinet, and the Coordination Council, is precisely what he wants and what we must not allow if we want to defeat him. When deciding to sign the cooperation protocol, the key democratic institutions were aware that it would be used against us and that there would be negative publicity consequences. However, we also understood that, ahead of Lukashenko's "elections", the issue of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s "mandate" would become a central point of attack for regime propaganda and lobbyists aiming to dismantle the system of institutions we have established. This is precisely what is already happening. Nevertheless, we chose to sign the protocol in its current form because preserving and strengthening the alternative to the regime and maintaining its legitimacy are more important to us than gaining media points. Lukashenko’s regime needs to understand that we are not going anywhere, and the alternative to his regime will not disappear or dissolve on its own while he remains in power. Free and fair elections will not be removed from the agenda and will remain on our list of demands. The page will not be turned until these demands are fulfilled. But this does not mean we are not open to negotiations with him. We are. Our conditions are: the release of all political prisoners, the cessation of repressions, and a public statement from Lukashenko declaring that he will not run in the elections and will step down from his position as head of the Belarusian People’s Congress. In this case, we are also prepared to cease our political activities abroad and resume them within the framework of a free and fair democratic process inside Belarus. Long live Belarus! Pavel Latushka: Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador

We understand that this is only the first step towards real justice. In the future, these individuals must be brought to justice for their numerous crimes against Belarusians. And we continue to work on this. Accountability is inevitable. Each of those who participate in political persecution and repression will be held accountable for their actions. We will continue our efforts and continue to work to ensure justice for all who have fallen victim to this regime.

Uladzimir Astapenka , representative of international and European cooperation of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, deputy head of NAM, spoke at the panel discussion "More Europe for Belarusians in 2025" at the "New Belarus" conference about the results of Lukashenko's 30-year policy and how to save the country from these consequences. Since 1994, Lukashenko has been pursuing a direct anti-European policy. He ignored the open doors of Europe and all opportunities to establish cooperation with European partners. Now Belarus is in a very difficult situation. Why?  Belarus is the only country in Europe that is not a member of the Council of Europe. It is the only country in Europe that applies the death penalty. Belarus does not have contractual basic relations with the European Union. Belarusians are the only ones among neighbors (except Russia) who need a visa. Our country is the only one in Europe that does not develop its native language and may even lose its independence. This is the bottom from which we must push ourselves to begin our journey up. The European choice is vital for the existence of Belarus The success of this political choice, on the one hand, depends on democratic forces, institutions, and our work. On the other hand, it depends on each and every Belarusian who cares about the future of their descendants. I believe that Belarusians will make this choice, and we will contribute to such a development of events.

Pavel Latushka:  Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador The usurper recently received his UN Ambassador Valentin Rybakov , who is waging an unsuccessful fight against the “malicious” sanctions imposed on the regime. Rybakov claims that these sanctions violate human rights ( not a word about human rights violations by the regime, of course ), and also contribute to the growth of hunger in the countries of the global South. Meanwhile, in the first half of 2024, revenue from potash fertilizer supplies to China collapsed by 51% compared to the first six months of last year . Even in China, they do not take seriously Rybakov’s cries about world hunger and his pleas to help sell fertilizers at a higher price to save starving Africans. Lukashenko’s myth about the connection between Belarusian potash supplies and world hunger has finally failed. Meanwhile, Russia, which Lukashenko had so much hoped for, is using price dumping to force Belarusian potash fertilizers out of the Chinese market. Russia has increased its supplies to China in physical volumes by 23%. For some commodity items, the Russians are even thinking about closing their market to Belarusian suppliers. So much for the age-old "brotherhood". Then a new EU sanctions package arrived with a significant harmonization of trade restrictions against the regime and Russia. It will now be even more difficult to evade European sanctions, and the regime's exports will be reduced by hundreds of millions of dollars. The sanctions are starting to take effect, and Russia and China are tightening competition with Belarusian producers, which is starting to drag the Belarusian economy down. In response, Lukashenko changed his rhetoric and began asking the West for negotiations.

Pavel Latushka:  Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador ..." I am not ready to recognize Lukashenko. This is the person who committed a crime, gave the order to kill peaceful Belarusians, who tortures Belarusians in Belarusian prisons, who destroys our statehood and our independence. I will never agree to recognize him as the President of Belarus ", — said Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management Pavel Latushka  during the third conference "New Belarus". The goal of the conference is a strategy for the election campaign for the presidential elections in Belarus in 2025, identifying the problems of society and finding ways to solve them together. Several hundred people are taking part in the conference: Belarusian politicians, activists, public figures and representatives of civil society, as well as President-elect Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya  and representatives of the Foreign Ministries of Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, the USA, Ukraine and other countries. "This conference is special: next year Lukashenko is planning his 'reappointment'. It is extremely important for us to develop a common strategy that will complicate his plans, but will not allow for further repression. We need to acknowledge and openly discuss our problems with Belarusians and among ourselves. We have achieved a lot over the years: we have built truly democratic institutions for Belarus, such as the President-elect, the United Transitional Cabinet and the Coordination Council — an alternative to the Lukashenko’s regime and its dictatorial system. We will continue our work and strengthen our institutions. It is important for the regime to show that 2020 is an accident. Our task is to show that this is not an accident. Boycott allows the system to mobilize its supporters and falsify the elections — and thus does not strain the system, but allows the elections to be held calmly. After all, there is nothing better for a dictatorship than silence and inactivity. It is important for us to reach beyond the core of our supporters. For people who doubt, the 'against all' option will be the closest, because Lukashenko has simply gotten on many people's nerves for 30 years, although they do not see an alternative", — Pavel Latushka noted . During the event, the strategy for the 2025 elections will be discussed, the "Platform 2025" document, the protocol of interaction between the Office of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya-the United Transitional Cabinet-the Coordination Council will be adopted. It is planned to adopt declarations on foreign policy priorities and on the responsibility of the Lukashenko regime, as well as on the restoration of justice. Two declarations were initiated by Pavel Latushko's team. Pavel Latushka asked partners to use tools to hold Lukashenko accountable.

Deputy Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management Artsiom Brukhan answered the question on air at Malanka Media about why the authorities in Belarus are so ineffective in the face of sudden natural disasters. The Ministry of Emergency Situations always has limited resources, so they interact with local authorities (district executive committee, city executive committee). Officials allocate resources to rescuers and create a material base, but only after the "go-ahead from above". They do not know how to make decisions quickly. Officials in Lukashenko's system are afraid to take responsibility To make a decision, it is necessary to adopt regulations, decisions of city executive committees, which must be implemented. This is all very difficult for them. It is better to wait for a signal from Minsk. With such a vertical of power, problems arise in critical situations, as happened in the Gomel region on July 13. While they were waiting for help from above, Lukashenko was drinking champagne Everything was flooded there, people had no water, trees had fallen, the electricity was out. And the dictator was drinking in the palace with his minister. At this time, the Ministry of Emergency Situations was saving people and needed resources. And resources could be provided by officials who were also waiting for a decision from the capital. This is one of the problems of a system built for one person. Lukashenko is not ready for anything No matter how much the self-proclaimed one talked about being ready for war, for everything, he once again proved his lie. The way the authorities reacted to the hurricane shows the real state of affairs in Lukashenko's regime. Which cannot be said about the Belarusians, who once again demonstrated their unity and organization.

Pavel Latushka:  Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador Pavel Latushka , in an interview with Euroradio, spoke about ongoing efforts to hold Lukashenko and his accomplices accountable. Nothing has stopped, and it will not stop until Lukashenko receives an arrest warrant. It’s unclear how long this will take, but the process will not be halted. A few days ago, we prepared another report on the facts of war crimes committed by Lukashenko, specifically related to the deportation of Ukrainian children. These materials were passed to one of our partner countries for further advancement. A great deal depends on our partners in Ukraine . Ukraine has the primary right, as it is defending the interests of its citizens — the children who are suffering as a result of the war crime perpetrated by Lukashenko and his accomplices. Much depends on how prepared Ukraine is to continue working with the International Criminal Court to move this case forward so that an arrest warrant can eventually be issued. On our side, we are not stopping and will not stop. We have collected a lot of material and continue to gather more evidence. The amount is growing day by day. But this is not the only direction we are pursuing. We are also working on submitting the situation in Belarus to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Hundreds of thousands of victims of crimes against humanity — this includes those killed, tortured, political sentences, and deportation to neighboring countries. Lukashenko will be held accountable for his crimes .

The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted the official graduation ceremony for the fourth cohort of the program "New Cadres for a New Belarus". This diplomatic training program was initiated in 2020 by the Centre for Eastern European Studies at the University of Warsaw, with the support of the National Anti-Crisis Management (NAM). Since the end of 2020, the Polish MFA has provided organizational and financial assistance for the annual training of diplomats for the New Belarus . So far, 74 future diplomats have been trained as part of the program. The primary goal of the diplomatic course is to create a reserve of personnel for the diplomatic service of the New Belarus.  The course covered theory and practice in politics and diplomacy, foreign policy and security, diplomatic protocol, international law, analysis of the political situation in Belarus and the post-Soviet space, among other topics. Participants of the program received lectures from European diplomats and professors from Polish and foreign universities. The instructors of the program included faculty from the University of Warsaw  and the Diplomatic Academy of the Polish MFA , as well as invited guests such as former U.S. Ambassador to Poland Daniel Fried , Minister in the Chancellery of the President of Poland responsible for international policy Mieszko Pawlak , the Polish MFA’s Special Representative for Cooperation with Democratic Forces of Belarus, Ambassador Artur Michalski , the head of NAM, Ambassador Pavel Latushka , and Deputy Head of NAM, Ambassador Vladzimir Astapenka. Symbolically, the diploma ceremony took place in the Jerzy Giedroyc Hall of the Polish MFA, where the head of the diplomatic service and the general director of the MFA, Rafał Wiśniewski , delivered a speech. Pavel Latushka , Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet and head of NAM, also addressed the graduates, emphasizing that personnel training is a priority for the UTC. He noted that the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired by these young future diplomats will be crucial in forming the new diplomatic corps of Belarus. Latushka underlined that a cadre potential has essentially been prepared to ensure the operation of the MFA of the New Belarus during the transitional period. The ceremony was attended by directors of various departments of the Polish MFA. At the conclusion of the program, 16 graduates received diplomas. Participants from all four cohorts are already working for democratic Belarus, including within the Coordination Council, NAM, the "Honest People" initiative, and other Belarusian democratic organizations.

Exhibits created from the media artifacts, documents, and original video works from the archive of artist Ales Pushkin will be presented in Warsaw as part of the exhibition "Ales Pushkin. AFTERLIFE." The exhibition will open at the Museum of Free Belarus — a project of the National Anti-Crisis Management — on the artist’s birthday, August 6. Ales Pushkin (1965-2023) was a political prisoner, artist, and activist who declared his art as political. He died in the dungeons of Lukashenko's regime, having been tortured in a prison in Grodno. Ales Pushkin believed that art changes the world. He remains with us despite death, as an artist has the great privilege of having his thoughts and ideas live on in his works. The concept of the exhibition is based on Pushkin's actions and performances, which he carried out since 1989, and whose themes remain relevant in the current historical moment: "Freedom Day," "Gift to the President," "Celebration and Saints," "Belarusian Resistance," and "Resistance to War." The exhibition, most of which consists of exhibits created based on media artifacts, documents, and original video works from the artist's archive, also integrates original works by his friends, colleagues, and associates—those whose creativity is conceptually linked to his ideas. The exhibition features works by Rufina Bazlova (Stitchit), Alexander Vasyukovich, Andrei Dureyka, Ialanta Kilyan, Yanak Kouzel, Maxim Tyminko, Antos Tialezhnikov, Yana Shostak, and Roman Shell. The musical part of the opening will be presented by the Free Choir. The curator of the exhibition is Andrei Dureyka. * Date and Time of Opening: August 6, 19:00 * Location: Museum of Free Belarus, Foksal 11, Warsaw (GoogleMaps) * Exhibition Duration: August 6 to August 31 The project is organized within the framework of the ArtPower Belarus program of the Belarusian Culture Council and the Danish Institute of Culture, with financial support from the European Union and the MOST+ program. Exhibition partners include Human Constanta, the TV channel Belsat, the Belarusian Association of Political Prisoners "Da Voli," and the Old Town Cultural Center (Warsaw). For more details about the exhibition and related events, visit the museum’s social media channels.

How the Desire to Return Home Turns into a Prison Sentence For the past three years, there have been reports of Belarusians who left the regime and then returned home, only to face repression. Many, while abroad, might have thought that this could never happen to them, that the authorities had forgotten, or that too much time had passed. But that is far from the truth. On July 23, Nasha Niva published an article about Natalia Levaya, who returned to Belarus after a long time. According to the article, on July 17, she was sentenced to 6 years in a penal colony and fined 40,000 rubles. Natalia, 38 years old, is a professional 2D artist who lived in Poland and was very eager to return to Belarus. Despite her colleagues advising her against returning, her desire to go back to her homeland was stronger. She even paid donations for 2020 in excess, for which she received a certificate from the KGB. With this certificate, she headed back to Belarus. However, the Homeland Did Not Greet Her with Open Arms Natalia was detained at the border. On July 17, the Brest City Court charged her with three offenses: "Funding of War," "Funding of Extremist Organizations," and "Funding of Extremist Activities." Six years in a penal colony is the price she paid for her desire to return to her homeland, believing that the KGB would not bother her due to the so-called compensation. Why do we highlight this story? It is a clear example of the regime's lies, its repressive policies, and its hatred towards its own citizens. Earlier this year, human rights activists reported over 200 Belarusians who were detained upon returning to their homeland. Many of them appealed to the "return commission," but this did not save them. Among them was Tatyana Kurilina, who was accused of administering protest chats and sentenced to four and a half years in a penal colony. Brest resident Igor Nemirovich also appealed to the commission and returned to Belarus, receiving a one-year prison sentence. There are hundreds of such examples. Do Not Trust the Safety of Returning Home For example, Lukashenko established his own commission for the return of citizens. But what do we see in practice? People who trusted these promises return home and find themselves behind bars. This commission has become yet another tool for luring opposition-minded citizens and then persecuting them. Another of his initiatives is the scheme for donations. And once again, the result is the same: people pay huge sums, hoping for protection, but instead face arrests and prison sentences. These donations turned out to be another way to extract money from citizens under false pretenses. Finally, the recently introduced visa-free regime for European citizens also turned out to be a trap. Behind the attractive promises of freedom of movement lies the reality: the regime detained a German citizen and sentenced him to death. This means that even for foreigners, Belarus remains an extremely unsafe place. All this confirms that returning to a country ruled by Lukashenko's regime is highly risky and dangerous for Belarusians. No "commissions," "compensations," or "repentances" guarantee safety. This is something that everyone currently safe abroad and considering returning home needs to be reminded of.

Pavel Latushka: Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador Every person has the right to happiness, especially a child. Today, thousands of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine are being forcibly brought to Belarus. They are essentially being torn away from their environment: their people, culture, and language. Being forcibly displaced, deported, and growing up among strangers in a foreign culture is a profound trauma that will haunt a child for life. The longer it lasts, the more serious the consequences for the child. This is why Ukraine is actively searching for its underage citizens who have been illegally taken to Belarus. Whether we want it or not, the Lukashenko regime is committing these crimes in the name of our state. Therefore, as citizens of Belarus, we see it as our duty to help Ukraine return its children home and restore justice. The National Anti-Crisis Management (NAM) continues to collect evidence for the International Criminal Court, proving the involvement of Lukashenko's regime representatives in the illegal relocation of Ukrainian children to Belarus. As the head of the NAM, in April, I met with Mykola Kuleba, the former Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights and the leader and founder of the "Save Ukraine" organization, to discuss facilitating the return of Ukrainian children to their homeland, as well as gathering and transmitting information on the whereabouts of children illegally taken from Ukraine to Belarus. It is crucial to understand that it is Lukashenko who is unlawfully relocating Ukrainian children to Belarus. However, anyone involved in this will also be criminally liable for these offenses. Ukraine will not forgive crimes against its children, and the international community will not tolerate such acts. Those responsible will always live in fear of criminal prosecution worldwide. The only way to avoid responsibility is to assist in returning these children to their homeland, under the care of their own state. I appeal to Belarusians to help find information about: The whereabouts of any Ukrainian children in Belarus without their parents, including orphans; The families they are with; The movement of Ukrainian children within Belarus; Individuals involved in their illegal relocation; The treatment of these children; Any other information related to the illegal relocation of Ukrainian children to Belarus. Lukashenko has already involved and continues to involve ordinary Belarusians in his numerous criminal actions. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the country’s population to distance themselves from the actions of a malicious dictator who despises Belarusians and humanity as a whole. But the war will inevitably end. The time of Lukashenko will inevitably end as well. And we, Belarusians, will have to continue living and looking each other and our neighbors—the Ukrainians—in the eye. What will our gaze be like and what gaze will we receive in return? It is up to us to decide. Small actions by each person can lead to significant changes. Let  all make an effort so that the children who have become victims of this war crime can still have a future. In their homeland, Ukraine. And our children, our Belarusian children, can be proud of us and be by our side.
