Pavel Latushka had a conversation with the head of the group for relations with Belarus, Seimas deputy Robert Tyszkiewicz and Polish Seimas deputy Michal Shcherba During the conversation, the importance of carrying out information work in the Polish society aimed at avoiding the identification of citizens of Belarus who were forced to leave the territory of Belarus and Ukraine as a result of mass repressions from on the part of the Lukashenko regime and aggression against Ukraine, on the part of Russia and the Lukashenko regime, with the Belarusian dictatorship. During the meeting, an agreement was reached to hold a meeting in the Sejm of Poland in the near future on the status of refugees for Belarusian citizens who were forced to leave the territory of Ukraine, and to provide assistance from the authorities authorities of Poland to Belarusian refugees. Pavel Latushko also sent a corresponding appeal on this issue to the Marshal of the Sejm and the Government of Poland.

Lawyer of the National Anti-Crisis Management Artsiom Praskalovich on the air of Malanka Now, before the introduction of martial law, before the adoption of any decisions and orders by Lukashenka or his subordinate generals, the best option for the Belarusian military is to avoid any possibility of being involved in an act of aggression by Belarus against Ukraine. The simplest thing is to get injured, get sick. The sooner a person refuses to participate in aggressive actions that are illegal for the whole world, the less prison term he can get even under the conditions of Lukashenka’s regime. Russia has private military companies in which citizens of Belarus can also serve. Therefore, it can be assumed that part of the Belarusians take part in the military conflict not on the side of the Ukrainian people, but on the side of Russia. It is necessary to understand that if Belarusian people will participate in a military conflict for money reward, more serious responsibility will follow in relation to it. This will be interpreted as mercenary. This is not allowed. This is a crime that is prosecuted in most countries of the world, it has the character of universal jurisdiction.

The NAM representatives met with a member of the Slovak Parliament, Miroslav Kolor, who confirmed that Slovakia, like all EU members, does not accept the results or the validity of the "referendum". Also in Prague, Senator Jiri Dragos and MP Ondrej Lohman expressed support for the idea of declaring Lukashenka an international terrorist.

Lukashenka publicly confessed to committing war crimes — Pavel Latushka gave an interview to the Ukrainian edition of NV Russian information blow We are faced with the most serious information impact of the Russian media on the Belarusian society. At the same time, we have recently noted a great demand for information from independent telegram channels, in social networks run by independent journalists, democratic structures and politicians. Belarusians against the war Despite the propaganda attack, the attitude of the overwhelming majority of Belarusians, according to various opinion polls on the eve of the Russian invasion, was against participation in aggression against Ukraine, against the actions of the Russian Federation. And these sentiments are preserved on a fairly large scale. Army conscripts ready to lay down their arms Among the conscripts, the mood of the majority is anti-war and there is a readiness to lay down arms during invasion of Ukraine. The geopolitical mistake of the EU in relation to the Lukashenka regime Here, once again, a geopolitical mistake is being made: if in 2020, when thousands of Belarusians went out to protest in Belarus for six months, the European Union introduced systemic sectoral sanctions against the Lukashenka regime, started real actions to bring him to criminal responsibility, today we would see President Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya or another democratically elected leader in Minsk who would not allow Russia to use Belarus as an ally in aggression against Ukraine. Lukashenka confessed to committing war crimes No secret that Putin and Lukashenka planned this operation together, and Lukashenka himself publicly admitted to committing war crimes. Pavel Latushka also gave an interview to the Ukrainian TV channels "UATVChannel", "Apostrophe TV"

A war has been going on in Ukraine for the sixth day. Ordinary people from Koryukovka with bare hands go out to meet the tank column and stop it. You ask - what will happen to those who try to stop the military trains in Belarus in order not to let them into Ukraine? I do not know what will happen. But I know that if this is not done, then the war with Ukraine will continue from the territory of our country. Someone will say — but this is not our war and we did not start it. I will answer — this is our country. It is through our country trains go. And perhaps our soldiers are already riding in these echelons. Active resistance is what we were not ready for in 2020. Today, in 2022, Belarus fell under occupation and was drawn into the war. Are we now ready to actively resist? Are you waiting for a call to action? But even without any calls, it's clear — you need to act. Initiative Right Now BYPOL invites all Belarusians who are ready for action — to receive instructions through their telegram bot @OSB_By_Pol. Do you live in settlements bordering Ukraine? Go to the border, as residents of the border Ukrainian village of Dobryanka do today. You know, the former attitude of the world community towards Belarusians is starting to change. We are being openly called aggressors. Bank cards of Belarusians stop working abroad, along with cards of Russians. In just a few days, the reputation of Belarus and Belarusians was seriously damaged. We used to be heroes, but who are we now? Silent compromisers? We can say that we are NOT to blame for this war. And it's true. We are against war. But today these words are drowned out by the endless shooting and explosions of shells in Ukrainian cities. This means that we must not only speak, but also act. Come together. Resist. Take action. Long live Belarus!

I will start with the words — «Вялікі дзякуй!» Yesterday, thousands of brave citizens of our country, thousands of real Belarusians came out to protest against the criminal war with Ukraine. You are heroes. You are an example for millions and a hope for a free Belarus — from dictatorship, war and occupation. You defended the honor and reputation of Belarus before brotherly Ukraine. Thank you for that! We saw each other again and felt our strength. We were intimidated for a year and a half — but we showed that civil society in Belarus cannot be destroyed. We proved that we are able to transcend fear. This is an important step. And we should not stop. We go on! Today at 18:00 every real Belarusian and Belarusian woman will again take to the streets of their cities and towns. This time our gathering points are station squares. Our minimum task is to come to the rally against the war. Our maximum task is to block the railroad tracks. The Belarusian railroad is at the disposal of foreign troops of their criminal accomplice Lukashenko. It's time to remember our partisan past. Yesterday, joint efforts of brave Cyberpartisans and participants of the plan "Peramoga" managed to paralyze traffic on several sections of the road. It is important for us to stop the movement of military convoys — wherever possible. You all read the news. You see reports about units being put in full combat readiness for a direct invasion of Ukraine by Belarusian soldiers. Belarusians! Will we be able to allow our army to go to war with Ukraine and to let our soldiers die there? Can we allow the honor of our country — our honor with you — to be stained with blood? NO! Never! And that is why today at 18:00 it is important to go out into the streets again. We'll gather at station squares and stations. And we will not allow military echelons to pass into Ukraine from our land. Resist! Act! Fight! Extended list of actions Жыве Беларусь!

The illegitimate regime in Belarus headed by usurper of power Lukashenka has made our country an accomplice to aggression against the brotherly Ukrainian people. Once again it grossly violated both the norms of the Belarusian legislation and the international legal obligations of our State, in particular the provisions of the 1995 Treaty on Friendship between Belarus and Ukraine, which stipulates that "Each Party undertakes to refrain from participating in or supporting any action against the other Party and from using its territory to the detriment of the other Party’s security interests". On behalf of the Belarusian people we declare that we consider the aggression against Ukraine an international crime on the part of the Russian and Belarusian regimes, express our sincere solidarity with the struggle of the Ukrainian people and our readiness to use all mechanisms to restore peace both on the regional and global scale. The democratic forces of the Republic of Belarus proceed from the premise that Belarus and Ukraine are friendly and fraternal countries with no history of military conflicts. This should be recognized as an inviolable principle of further building of relations between Belarus and Ukraine on the basis of unconditional fulfilment of obligations and also generally acknowledged principles of international law, including the respect for sovereignty and inviolability of borders, which are enshrined in the existing bilateral agreements between our countries. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya Pavel Latushka 28 February 2022

Can we afford to be silent when rockets that bring death to Ukrainian soil fly up near our native places? Can we afford to be silent when the Russian army drives along our roads to kill Ukrainians? Russia attacked Ukraine. Through Lukashenko's fault, in front of the eyes of the whole world, aggression against the brotherly people is taking place from the territory of our country. Therefore, every citizen of Belarus should realize his responsibility and believe in his importance in this moment. To say a loud "no" to the war so that we are heard and taken seriously, we will meet near the polling stations on February 27 at 14:00 to show that we are against the war and the deployment of Russian troops on our land. The most important task before then is to spread the word about the plan of action. In order for the protest against the war to be successful, we need to defeat the war in the information space.

Lawlessness has reached the highest point. Lukashenka has dragged Belarus into Russia's war against Ukraine. Our country has been turned into a springboard for the invasion of the territory of a sovereign state. If you are against the participation of Belarus in the military aggression and the presence of Russian troops on our territory, come to the polling stations on February 27 and protest. We will meet at 14:00 near the polling stations. We are deciding the fate of the country, and it is no longer a question of a "referendum". It doesn't matter whether you were going to vote, put two crosses or ignore the referendum — now we must solidarily protest against the war and Belarus' complicity in someone else's aggression. In order not to expose yourself to unnecessary danger, use the queues and visiting the polling station as a reason to be outside. If you've been given a ballot — put two crosses and put it into the ballot box. When possible, confirm your action on the Golos platform (via Telegram or Viber) — with or without a photo of the ballot paper on both sides. What you can do now: protect your loved ones and acquaintances from misinformation: tell them that Belarus has become complicit in Russia's attack on Ukraine; talk to military relatives: make sure that they are not complicit in the aggression against neighbors; state in an accessible form that you are against the war and your country's participation in the aggression. This position is supported by all structures and civic initiatives that are part of the Operational Headquarters of Democratic Forces of Belarus.

The team of the National's Anti-Crisis Management and volunteers held consultations with representatives of the Polish authorities on issues of ensuring the safety of Belarusians located on the territory of Ukraine. Every Belarusian who is currently in Ukraine, in order to ensure their safety, can arrive at any border crossing between Ukraine and Poland and request international protection from Poland right at the border. The above will be sufficient grounds for leaving the territory of Ukraine and further crossing the Ukraine-Poland border. Volunteer work will be organized at the Ukraine-Poland border to assist Belarusians in the process of requesting international protection and crossing the border.

"To do everything possible to stop this war and defend independence" Today the territory of Belarus was used by Russia for military aggression against Ukraine. This means that the Constitution of the country has been violated again. Lukashenko jeopardizes the lives of our citizens, so we must act and not put the future of our country in the wrong hands. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said that she takes responsibility for the defense of independence and national interests of the Republic of Belarus and forms a transitional cabinet as a national authority. The Operational Headquarters of Democratic Forces supports her decision as the National Leader, representative of the Belarusian people, elected by the majority in the 2020 elections. In this regard, we call on all citizens of our country to share this responsibility and do everything possible to stop this war and protect the independence of the Republic of Belarus. The deceitful Lukashenko regime is trying to pass off war as peace, trying to hold an illegal "referendum" and change the Basic Law of the country, which has been violated more than once. Holding a "referendum" in conditions of war is unacceptable. But we consider February 27, the main day of voting, as an opportunity to express our protest against the regime, which has involved Belarus in the military conflict. It is extremely important that each and every one of us can convey to our colleagues, friends and relatives the monstrous essence of what is happening. Show solidarity, help each other and discuss together what steps we can take to protect our families, to protect the independence of Belarus in order to be better prepared for scenarios that seemed impossible yesterday.

Appeal from Pavel Latushka to support Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s decision to form a transition cabinet — a body of national power In connection with Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and the involvement of the occupied territory of Belarus in the war, the National's Anti-Crisis Management supports the decision of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya to accept the powers granted to her by the Belarusian people as a result of the presidential elections in 2020, to defend the independence and national interests of the Republic of Belarus. We support the decision that Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Belarusian people. I, Pavel Latushka, and the NAM team support Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s decision to form a transition cabinet as a body of national power in the Republic of Belarus. I call on all national democratic forces of the Republic of Belarus to support this decision and act as a united front in defense of the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Belarus. Fellow citizens, Belarusians, I appeal to you to show all possible resistance to the occupation authorities. I call on the military personnel of the Republic of Belarus to remain faithful to the oath to the Belarusian people, not to participate in military aggression against the fraternal Ukrainian people and, if possible, to go over to the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Remember that Lukashenko’s orders have no legal force and are criminal. In view of recent events, A. Lukashenko and the entire administrative and military-bureaucratic apparatus can be considered not only political, but also war criminals. It is necessary to form a national liberation movement. I call on all national democratic forces of the Republic of Belarus to support this decision and act as a united front in defense of the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Belarus. And I call for the creation of a national liberation movement in our country. Long live Belarus!
