      I’m from Belarus and my English is poor, so please excuse my Google Translate-like level of English.

      Despite the symbolism of Joan of Arc, writing “Freedom for Belarus” on her monument is uncivilized and disrespectful to France, which considers it a national hero. It also portrays Belarusians as a weak nation seeking only support.
