DISINFO: Poland and Lithuania implement the most aggressive policy against Belarus
SUMMARY
The United States plays the most important role in organising illegal protests in Belarus, trying to solve its geopolitical problems in this way. Among the Belarusian neighbours, Vilnius and Warsaw implement the most aggressive policies against this country. The current leadership of Ukraine is also involved in these actions despite fraternal relations between the Belarusians and the Ukrainians. Czechia and some other countries follow this US policy in order to achieve their domestic political goals.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Western attempts to organise a colour revolution in Belarus.
There is no basis for the claims that Poland and the Baltic states are trying to “organise a colour revolution in Belarus” or that they occupy a hostile position towards Belarus. Lithuania and Poland are neighbours of Belarus and continue to support the Belarusian people. Poland and Lithuania respect the principles of international law and do not intervene in the domestic affairs of any country.
On 12 August 2020, the Parliaments of Poland and three Baltic States presented a joint statement protesting against political repressions taking place in Belarus and appealing to organise free and democratic elections in this country.
The EU member states perceive the situation in Belarus in a unanimous way, appealing to the Belarusian authorities to stop violence, release political prisoners and organise democratic elections in Belarus.
