Minsk (Belarus), 12 Aug (EFE/EPA), (Camera: Tatyana Zenkovich).- Post-electoral protests continue in Belarus but are losing strength after the exile of the unified opposition candidate, Svetlana Tijanovskaya, and the harsh repression of demonstrations by the security forces. The demonstrations have mobilised the country's women, who have seen in them a chance to make their voices heard, which were silenced during the years of Lukashenko's rule. On Wednesday, hundreds of women formed human chains in different neighbourhoods of Minsk to express their solidarity with the demonstrators arrested during the three days of protest following the elections.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that Washington and its allies remain and must remain steadfast in their backing for Ukraine in its fight against Russia. "The answer here today at NATO is clear and it's unwavering. We must and we will continue to support Ukraine," Blinken says a meeting of the Western military alliance. There are fears that a lack of adequate support from the West could end up forcing Kyiv to seek a compromise with Russian President Vladimir Putin from a position of weakness. SOUNDBITE
