“Lukashenko’s act is getting old, and people are fed up with his 26 years of authoritarian rule.”

@IRIglobal Board Member David Kramer in @washingtonpost on growing calls for democratic change ahead of #Belarus’ presidential election this Sunday. https://t.co/sfvRKm7aep

When a dictatorship is afraid of music, you know they are in trouble. #Belarus

[International Republican Institute @IRIglobal]

For 26 years, Alexander Lukashenko has maintained his grip on power in #Belarus. This Sunday, his reign could be over.

@IRIglobal’s @DCTwining and @smastic on how the end of the last dictatorship in Europe could impact the United States and Russia. https://t.co/dBvkqoBHg1

A day after we learn the door is open for 12 more years of #Putin as Russia’s president, we’re set to hear from @danbbaer, @SimonOstrovsky, @Olesya_vArt, and @stephennix on Putin’s conflicts in #Ukraine, #Georgia, and #Moldova. Timely reminder of Putin’s hand in Eastern Europe.

A great honor, privilege and spiritual experience to meet with His Beatitude Epiphaniy, Metropolitan of Kyiv and all of Ukraine. A truly amazing and inspirational leader in the Christian world!

[Stephanie Roland @stefaroland]

This is a dangerous time for me. Russians are protesting for free elections while Ukrainians are getting them.

Sorting like crazy here in Poltava - shouldn’t be a long night moving at this speed #Ukraine @IRIglobal

Washington has turned out for Moldova’s Foreign Minister Nicolae Popescu’s remarks @IRIglobal. He will be discussing Moldova’s path forward after the recent political crisis. 🇲🇩

8am and polls open with all present singing the national anthem 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 слава україні!

Election Day in Ukraine & expecting high turnout. But Kremlin aggression is effectively disenfranchising 16% of Ukraine’s electorate: the 12% who live in Ukrainian territory forcibly occupied by Russia & the 4% who are internally displaced persons from the conflict.

Hanna Davydenko trained with the IRI in the US. She is now a City Council Member and Chancellor of Univ Vinnytsya. Exactly what Ronald Reagan had in mind in establishing IRI and NDI.

John was a ardent supporter of the Ukrainian people & their stand for freedom. He called his ‘13 visit during the Euromaidan "one of the most moving experiences I have ever had...I have never seen anything like what we witnessed". I now understand why he loved Ukraine @IRIGlobal

[Stephen B. Nix @stephennix]

Very pleased and honored to have Ukrainian MP @HopkoHanna as part of the @IRIglobal election observation on mission in Moldova

A real pleasure to spend #Moldova2019 🇲🇩 observing in and around #Gagauzia - fascinating region in southern #Moldova
