A Shifting Balance of Power: Tsikhanouskaya's Visit to Kyiv The exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's recent visit to Ukraine and her meeting with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha have sent a clear signal that the fragile balance of power in Eastern Europe is about to get even more complicated.
The situation on the ground is dire: weeks of escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine have culminated in devastating strikes on Kyiv, leaving four people dead and historical sites damaged.
Tsikhanouskaya's visit appears to be a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Ukraine, which has long been warning about the dangers of Belarus becoming increasingly embroiled in Russia's war.
