Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya on the sidelines of the 4th International Summit of Cities and Regions "Partnership. Resilience. Preparedness."
The head of state said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
"We all support the aspiration of the Belarusian people to free themselves from Russian interference, and we know that Russia is now trying to drag Belarus even deeper into this war against Ukraine. We value every expression of support from Belarusians for a free Ukraine, and we know that the day will come when there will once again be good-neighborly relations between our states – based on the real independence of both Ukraine and Belarus from Moscow. This is exactly what we discussed today with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and her team, who are visiting Kyiv," Zelensky said.
