She told me that all her three sons had not found any use in Belarus and left. But she said herself: I'm not leaving, make sure that our children never leave their homeland. We do want changes.

We must now give our best for this purpose. We are now going to the victory together! Sviatlana is our ticket to a free, happy Belarus.

16.39 "I am glad to be in Mahiliou. We love and appreciate you. That's what the current authorities don't do. The regime puts pressure on enterprises and directors. Belarusian towns and cities have suffered from the coronavirus. The real numbers are being hidden from us. The authorities are keeping the Belarusians from working in peace. People don't believe them. Why do so many people come to our rallies? Because people haven't been believing them for a long time. They will try to deceive us. Look at Belarus in recent months. We all know for sure: I can change everything!" - Maryja Kalesnikava says. The people chant: "I can change everything!"
