Vadzim Kabanchuk: Belarusians Need To Prepare For Decisive Events Coming Soon

Everything is tied to the victory of Ukraine in the war against Russia.

In Belarus, the number of political prisoners is growing every day. What can Belarusians do in such conditions? The Basta!» Telegram channel asked this question to the Belarusian volunteers, who now, with deadly force, stand up to defend Ukraine, and with it the future of Belarus.

Deputy commander of the Kastus Kalinouski regiment Vadzim Kabanchuk: Everything is tied to Ukraine's victory in the war against Russia

“I would advise those people who actively participated in the protests in 2020-2021 to look for an opportunity to emigrate from the country, as the system has taken a course to repress everyone as much as possible. Thus, we create the prerequisites for the speedy liberation of Belarus. A cumulative core accumulates in emigration, which will later be the engine of change in Belarus.

There has never been such a massive political emigration in the recent history of Belarus, and this political emigration gave impetus and a basis for Belarusian volunteers. The Kalinouski regiment has become such a large unit precisely because of the 2020-2021 factor.

Those people who have the opportunity to stay in Belarus relatively safely need to prepare for decisive events that will come soon. Namely, the liberation of Belarus from Lukashenka's dictatorship. Everything is tied to the victory of Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Who has the opportunity — prepare the material and technical base, but you do not need to talk about your plans and gather in groups of more than three people. We must not forget about safety.”

19-year-old ex-volunteer Hleb Hunko: “Let everyone do what they are capable of”

“You need to do everything according to your abilities. Not everyone has the strength to fight. Not everyone is capable of fighting. But, according to the latest news from Belarus, it is clear that the struggle continues. Let everyone do what they can.”

Yauhen (Salam) Zhurauski: “If almost the same time in prison is given for stickers and arson, then you should choose the one that burns better”

“In my opinion, the only way out in modern Belarus is internal migration, leaving for the forest “according to Junger”. That is, there is no way to show that you are against the system. But this should not prevent us from independently preparing for the next mobilization and social explosion, as was the case in 2020. It can be sports, some training in shooting ranges, which can be dangerous in modern realities, and so on.

If you feel the need to team up with someone, only do so with people you know well and trust 100%. Only “affinity groups” can be safe now. And do not tell anyone about this group. Remember how it was in the “Fight Club”: “The first rule of the fight club is not to tell anyone about the club.”

If you still can't sit and wait, then think 10 times about each step of the future action. Do not forget about information security and remember, if almost the same time in prison is given for stickers and arson, then you need to choose the one that burns better.”
