Complementing Rikhter's domestic focus, Katsiaryna Shmatsina, a distinguished researcher at Virginia Tech University, examines Belarus’s foreign policy and its precarious positioning within the international arena. Shmatsina's paper provides a critical overview of Belarus's role in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and its implications for regional security. Highlighting the regime's internal repressive tactics, she calls for the European Union to formulate a robust strategy for Belarus, advocating for support towards the nation's democratic aspirations.
These papers, "Between Solidarity and Pressure – Belarusians in Europe," not only offer a granular view of the challenges and strategic considerations for Belarus but also serve as a clarion call for international solidarity and action. We invite our readers to explore the insights provided by Kristina Rikhter and Katsiaryna Shmatsina, as we continue our support for the Belarusian community's fight for freedom and dignity.
