Thank you, Daria, for your moving letter. Years ago our family hosted Belarusian children (following the Chornobyl disaster). I have often wondered what became of them, and again so, reading about the 2020 uprising and Lukashenko's actions before and since.

Like I do for Ukrainians, I hope the people of Belarus will some day truly be free from Russian oppression and interference, enjoy full freedoms, and have their democratically elected leader by their side.

Thank you for also kindly translating and sharing Vadanosava's poem with us.

Good news indeed. Very interesting to learn about Belarusian identity and the national awakening of 2020. I can’t wait to see Belarus and all the other people living under Russian oppression finally liberated and free.
