"Freedom is not given forever; it must be defended again and again. The Kalinouski Uprising reminds us that we have dignity, we have a voice, and we have the right to live freely. We honor the memory of the insurgents because this experience of resistance and solidarity is important to us even today, as Belarus and Ukraine are again fighting for freedom from the 'Russian world'," Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya emphasized in her speech.
