Belarusian Volunteers on Parade in Kyiv: We Believe in Our People and Their Strength

Belarusian fighters take part in the March of the Unconquered in honor of Independence Day of Ukraine.

One of founders of Zubr movement and Kraj organization, and now the volunteer in Ukraine, laureate of the Victor Ivashkevich National Human Rights Award for 2016, Vadzim Kabanchuk told Charter97.org about participation of volunteers in festive occasions in Kyiv.

" The official part of the parade began at 10 am. Belarusian volunteers take part in the second part of the March of the Unconquered together with military men and volunteers of other nationalities. The March starts at 12.00. We will march from Bessarabskaya Street along Khreshchatyk.

Participation in the parade is a very important event for us. Thus, the contribution to the protection of Ukraine not only of Ukrainians, but also of other volunteer formations is emphasized: they are Belarusians, Chechens, Georgians and other nationalities who take the side of Ukraine in this war.

It is very symbolic that our military jeep will drive after the column of the "Belarus" tactical group. It will carry portraits of two Belarusian volunteers - Ales Cherkashin and Vitaly Telizhenko. Thus, they will symbolically participate in the parade.

Today I would like to congratulate Ukrainians on Independence Day, and to wish Belarusians have sense of purpose. Belief in your people is a national egregore, which has already surprised the aggressor in Ukraine, and I am sure that all important events are to come in Belarus. Let any invaders who stare at our lands know that neither Belarus nor Ukraine will give ground.

The Belarusian people have the strength to take a stand despite the paralysis of official power. We do not need a thing of someone else," Vadzim Kabanchuk stated.
