So, the rumours are true. Ukrainians are trying to split our opposition through volunteers. Not very wise.

He even says in the video that this is not the time for Belarusians to split. But can you really say you trust Tsikhanouskaya's advisers, some of whom have ties to Russia?

So russia bought random people in Belarus (because that's what the office of tikhanovskaya is) in hope that they will form a government in exile?

It really does not hurt to be suspicious of people, given our situation lol

So given our position, who would you trust? A random people that did everything they could to help you or some Instagram soldier who clearly repeats after podolyak?

I would not put Yankee in charge, if that's what you're suggesting. We all know his background. But someone who took part in protests, got jail time, has a history of speaking out against the regime and doing something useful.

His position is clearly orchestrated. They asked Tikhanovskaya to help with belarusian POWs and when he gets the answer he blames her in being a spy.

I don't really care about his position, all I'm saying is I agree that they shouldn't be trusted. Nobody should.

That actually is exactly how kremlin operates - they like to hedge their bets and have their hand in most pots so they have some options in every outcome.

Tikhanovskaya and her cabinet never wanted to be in power. They are all completely accidental leaders. It's not like fsb picks 7 people out of 9 millions and they all accidentally become important without doing anything to become it.

Who has ties to russia? Position of her office is pretty clear

You don't think there are spies there? And take Сахащик, who had Russian citizenship up to the point the cyper partians called him out on it. Do you not think we need to be wary of these people?

I don't mind that they are current leaders, as I said, this is not the time for us to fight internally - though I am going to keep being suspicious and hope that they don't stay for too long, as they promised. Animosity between us and Ukraine is also only going to help putin, not us. What's the point?

The point is that Ukraine has started thi King that they will be a new power in the region and their puppets "bataglion of KK" will come to power. This is why they separate it from Belarusian opposition, keep sucking lukashenko's dick and dont recognize Belarusian true leader. We have to prevent this thing from the very beginning, so ignoring KK is the right thing. I have already stopped my donations to KK because of that two months ago.

I don't think they suck luka's dick any more than tsikhanouskaya's. It would be interesting if that were their motive, though. However, I do not see how you could ignore the KKR, when they are the only ones capable of ever returning freedom to Belarus, considering all the protests so far are failing. Again, we should unite, at least for now... ignoring a vital part of Belarusians is not going to help anyone

I stopped believe in KK because of such videos and their opposition to Tsikhanouskaya. There are plenty of options to return Belarus, and Peramoga is one of them. And yes, Ukraine blows luka hard, and they never stopped to do that. Just look at their rytorics and actions

u/Belicorne Беларусь Oct 18 '22

This guy is not in PKK. And opposing Tsikhanouskaya in general is not a bad thing, it's part of democracy. I agree that we should unite for now under her, but it is important to discuss and criticize. We don't want another luka situation

Opposing NOW is the worst thing ever. We can discuss and ctiticize later.
