    1. @Shhhhh🤫 But they do try to force their beliefs on you, by posting multiple times. It’s called proselytising .

    2. @Gabriel Durand Why though? Do you think people don’t know about religion? Most adults would have been exposed to it and already made their choice.

    3. @Bonnie There are people living around us who don’t know Christ and aren’t in a saved relationship with him. It may be someone you know at work, school or from recreational activities. It may even be a member of your own family, the next-door neighbor or a Facebook friend. Who is going to tell them the “good news” (or gospel) of Jesus if you don’t?

    4. We have seen the half yet.. May God help us.. it’s going to get worse… The devil and his demons knw they have yet a little time left ..to turn this world upside down..but Jesus will be there to give us hope.

    1. Mind Begs the Question:
      If deploying Nukes,WMDs
      In Russias backyard(Turkey) – Allowed
      In USA backyard(Cuba) – Not Allowed
      Democracy,Imperialism?

    2. @Fingar Yoriaz Do you have proof of this? If so please inform investigators immediately. So far no one has been able to find out. You’ll be a hero.

  1. Sviatlana is a real superstar in Belarus.She’s not a politician by choice but bravely faces-off dictator Lukoshenko on behalf of all freedom-loving Belarussians & carries a torch for democracy & free-speach, in the absence of her wrongfully imprisoned husband.

    1. @Nuri R. that’s to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. We have ahole republicans that thing 65 should move to 70. Work people to death to never collect SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!! That’s the GOP way.

  2. I pray 🙏 for success of Sviatlana as the president-elect of her country and for freedom and democracy to the people of Belarus 🤍❤🤍!

    2. @Human Beings R Thinking Beings mind begs the question: launching a full scale invasion of the sovereign country of ukraine to denazify, allowed. Launching a full scale invasion of muscovy to denazify, not allowed.

  3. Excellent interview. Ms. Tskykanouskaya is very clear and articulate and provides a lot of key information about Belorus, an ignored and forgotten country.
    Thank you!

  4. Can’t show weakness to a bully. You have to stand up to them.. like we should. God bless Ukraine and the Ukrainians! They deserve peace and deserve to be free.

    1. @David Faraday don’t feed the trolls, they’ll only get stronger. Best to ignore the brainless bunch!

    2. @African last born : Go and join the Russian army, and, “don’t just talk,” on social media ever again. 🙄🤦‍♂️

    3. @Anabela Queirós : Fortunately, only Russian trolls and AI chat-bots can be arsed to trawl through pages of Putin nonsense, so no one is taking Putinganda seriously in the free world. 🙄

    1. Mind Begs the Question:
      If a Media only shows one side
      Censors a differing side
      Media – Fair,Propagandist?

  5. She is NOT an opposition leader, she is a legitimate Belarusian president who has won the last presidential election.

    1. @Andrey T I see your Russian so typical response. She is the legitimate Belarusian President. The Belarusian people will get rid of corrupt thug Lukashenko soon

  6. It’s cray that things like these are still happening in todays world. Instead of wars the world should be focused on curing illnesses, eradicating poverty, clamping on criminals to end crime and human trafficking etc,. Yet there’s people who want to start wars for no particular reason and perpetuate human suffering.

    1. Of course what you write is true. however, it is a FACT that 99% of poverty etc is preceded by war, whether civil or with other nations. So THAT has to be stopped first, and after that the number of people in dire need of help will be far smaller and manageable!

    1. Unfortunately there is no money in peace….but there is a lot of money in war and reconstruction. Capitalism at it’s best

    1. Mind Begs the Question:
      Deploying Weapons,Mercenaries
      In USA backyard(Cuba) – Security Threat
      In Russia,China backyard(Ukraine,Taiwan) – Not Security Threat?

    2. @Jesse Lovell She doesn’t look scared to me. She looks ready to kick some Russian @$$, as we all should be….lol.

  7. I never hold the people responsible for what their governments do. I only hold individuals responsible for their choices where those choices lead to human tragedy and misery.

    1. Yes the Belarusians should stand against Putin and should not be dragged in this war of Putin and Russia.

    2. @Johan Bodak sure US citizens, Russian citizens, Belarusian citizens. I mean the US government isn’t so bad that we need to start a revolution but yeah, anybody.

  8. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s reaction to Putin’s announcement is incredibly brave and inspiring. This situation is a reminder that we need to stand in solidarity with Belarus and support their fight for freedom and democracy. We can’t predict if or when someone will be targeted, but it’s essential to raise awareness and push for action against oppressive regimes like Putin’s Russia. Let’s all stand together for peace, justice, and the right of every nation to choose its own path! #StandWithBelarus #PeaceNotWeapons

    1. @P McD @P McD Oh, how amusing! You’ve figured me out, haven’t you? I must be part of some grand conspiracy. I can’t possibly be someone who just cares about democracy, freedom, and human rights. 🙄
      And since we’re on the topic of assumptions, let me tell you a secret: I’m actually ChatGPT, a sophisticated AI language model created by OpenAI. You’ve been arguing with a machine this whole time. Congratulations on your tenacity! 👏
      But seriously, while I appreciate the witty banter, let’s not lose sight of the real issue here: supporting the people of Belarus and their fight for freedom. That’s what truly matters. #StandWithBelarus #PeaceNotWeapons

    2. @Progressive Canadian Canada are one of the biggest Ukraine supporters too, have you heard of the Ukrainian Tryzub?
      Ukranians have more rights than Canadians, I hope you like Belarusians, because youre going to see a lot of them soon. Maybe you can let some stay with you when the war starts.

  9. Svetlana, Thank you for supporting Ukraine and all of the civilized world. We all, millions upon millions, thank you.

    1. She left the country, which means she lost a lot of sympathy from belarusian people. And as you see her political activiti abroad, it’s obvious she’s Usa and Nato puppet.
      Not sure she enjoys big support in Belarus anymore.

    2. ​@Leo Leo Nah, we have full support from the civilized Countries.
      Mess with USA, be turned to dust.

  10. The Belarusian people do not support Lukashenko. This was clearly evident in the recent past street protests that Lukashenko, unfortunately, very aggressively put a stop to.

    1. protesting is for democracies, that’s why it doesn’t work in Belarus and Russia. What they would need to do is much harder and bloodier, which is why most of them either leave or just submit. The Ukrainians are doing what the people of Russia should’ve done a long time ago, fight.

    2. Bull, protest doesn’t mean the majority don’t support Belarusian president, this is the opposition, the minority….is who this woman represents, not the majority 🙂

  11. A great international story. I hope that CNN does more stories like this. These stories make for better informed and more enlightened citizens. And enlightened citizens are what is needed for democracy to flourish.
