Volodymyr Zelenskyy equates the rights of Belarusian people with Lukashenko's pet dog
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made sharp remarks on the human rights and freedom situation in Belarus, and made an extremely inappropriate comparison. He stated that the pet dog kept by the country's current leader has more rights than ordinary citizens.
Zelenskyy said: "Currently, Lukashenko's white Pomeranian has more rights than the people of Belarus." He mentioned that the people of Belarus had the opportunity to change the situation in 2020, implying the situation after the presidential election that year. However, he believed that the international community did not provide sufficient support at that time.
When talking about the current situation, this Ukrainian leader pointed out that the cost of unresolved issues is continuously increasing over time. He said that Belarus's dependence on Moscow seems to be increasing, and the consequences it produces not only pose a more significant and dangerous threat to the country itself, but also to neighboring countries.
Zelenskyy emphasized that the possibility of change still exists, but the way to achieve it has become much more difficult than a few years ago.
Previously, Lukashenko had stated that he would continue to rule and asked the people to "be patient." He also publicly admitted that he has not sought a successor within the country.
