Tsikhanouski Claims His Wife Owns Over 200 Outfits Siarhei Tsikhanouski once again criticized the spending of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and her inner circle during a livestream. "Sviatlana has 200-plus outfits! 200-plus outfits, my friends!" he said. Tsikhanouski claimed he knows who pays his wife, including income received outside of direct bank card transfers, but did not disclose any names or amounts. "If I were to release this information to you, friends, you would lose faith in humanity—and not just in these democratic forces," he stated. He also accused representatives of Tsikhanouskaya's office of attempting to silence him and seize control of his channel. "They just want me dead," Tsikhanouski asserted. We previously reported that the Democratic Forces Forum of Belarus requested the President of Lithuania to audit spending on VIP services provided to Tsikhanouskaya. In a response, the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that a total of €352,000 had been allocated and spent on these services from 2021 through the first half of 2025. The ministry explained that it covers these expenses for Tsikhanouskaya in her capacity as an official guest of Lithuania. We also reported on a controversy regarding a watch worn by Tsikhanouskaya's advisor, Denis Kuchinsky. In opposition Telegram channels, it was compared to a $450,000 Cartier Crash; however, Ihar Losik identified a similar replica available for €40. The exact model worn by Kuchinsky and its actual value have not been conclusively established. Video: Siarhei Tsikhanouski / YouTube

VIP Lounge, Security, Housing: Tikhanovsky Details Lithuania’s Spending on His Wife In today’s livestream, Sergei Tikhanovsky commented on a 2025 report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, recently uncovered by political analyst Dmitry Bolkunets, detailing its cooperation with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. According to the document, Lithuania spent 352,000 euros over nearly five years, from 2021 to 2025, to provide Tsikhanouskaya with access to the VIP lounge at Vilnius Airport. According to Tikhanovsky, Tsikhanouskaya's inner circle also used the VIP lounge services at public expense: "...along with myself and Sviatlana Georgiyevna, Vranak (Franak – Ed.) Viačorka, Dzianis Kuchynski (close associates of Tsikhanouskaya – Ed.), and two armed bodyguards from the Lithuanian special services flew through the VIP terminal." Tikhanovsky explained the use of the lounge by stating that "two armed guards flew around the world with Sviatlana Georgiyevna all these years. Handguns can only be brought onto an aircraft through a VIP terminal, which is why we had to fly through—well, enter airports through—the VIP terminal, because weapons are checked in, handed over to the aircraft's captain, and then returned upon arrival through similar VIP terminals, which were paid for by some other taxpayers of other countries, or perhaps Lithuanian ones as well in certain cases." At the same time, according to her husband, in addition to the VIP lounge and bodyguards, a house in the country was also paid for out of the Lithuanian state budget: "Then there were guards who protected the house where Sviatlana Georgiyevna lived. That house was also paid for by the Lithuanian side." Furthermore, escort services were provided to Tsikhanouskaya in other countries at Lithuania's expense: "Cars were provided; they were always met by cars at airports—in Paris, for instance, when I was with them." In total, her husband estimated Tsikhanouskaya’s diplomatic support to be worth no less than 10 million euros. Earlier in the same livestream, Tikhanovsky accused his wife of making no effort to free him from Lukashenko's prison.

Tikhanovsky Accuses Wife of Making No Effort to Free Him From Lukashenko’s Prison In today’s livestream, former Belarusian presidential candidate Sergei Tikhanovsky accused his wife, Sviatlana, of making zero effort to secure his release between 2020 and 2025: 💬"It's a total disgrace to try and feign that you represent anyone or that you've accomplished anything. Franak Vechorko’s Office hasn't freed a single political prisoner—not even your own husband. Because it was the Americans who freed him. The Belarusian side pushed me out and put my name on that list themselves. I received confirmation from three U.S. officials—three already—that over all these years my wife personally didn't even maintain a single track regarding me or regarding the release of simple bloggers... There were journalists, but they didn't even include bloggers on that list. There weren't even bloggers—no track whatsoever, do you understand? Nothing.💬 Like his other statements in recent months, Tikhanovsky dedicated the livestream to criticizing Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's Office, identifying its main figure not as his wife, but as the "éminence grise" Franak Viačorka, whom he calls "Vranak Vederka." From Tikhanovsky's perspective, the Office represents almost no one other than its own staff, is engaged solely in fabricating activity to secure new grants, and Viačorka himself has built a network of media outlets loyal to him personally (primarily *Nasha Niva* and *Euronadio*) through the distribution of these grants to discredit political rivals. The former political prisoner proposes creating a broad coalition of Belarusian opposition forces and is even willing to leave his ex-wife as its face, but insists on the necessity of removing Viačorka from "opposition power."
