'I know exactly what kind of Ukraine would suit Russia and Putin – a dependent dictatorship,' says Natalia Pinchuk, quoting her husband Nobel Peace Prize winner Ales Byalyatski.
Receiving the award on behalf of her husband at Oslo City Hall, Natalia Pinchuk said Byalyatski dedicated the prize to “millions of Belarusian citizens who stood up and took action in the streets and online to defend their civil rights.”
“I know exactly what kind of Ukraine would suit Russia and Putin – a dependent dictatorship. The same as today’s Belarus, where the voice of the oppressed people is ignored and disregarded,” Pinchuk said on Saturday, quoting her husband. Byalyatski is the fourth person to win the Nobel Peace Prize while in detention, after Germany’s Carl von Ossietzky in 1935, China’s Liu Xiaobo in 2010, and Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi, who was under house arrest, in 1991.
