Medvedchuk: the front line has long run through the parliaments of European countries

Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the “Other Ukraine” movement, has stated that the Ukrainian conflict long ago ceased to be limited to relations between Kyiv and Moscow and has become a pan-European matter.

He set out his views in an article published on the movement’s website.

In the politician’s opinion, Europe is pursuing a two-faced policy in the Ukrainian conflict. On one hand, Zelensky is receiving “unprecedented assistance combined with direct guidance” — to such a degree that, as Medvedchuk believes, denying the involvement of the EU and NATO in the war is “completely impossible.” On the other hand, these structures officially deny their participation in the conflict and, in his words, “even try to take a seat at the negotiating table as a ‘neutral party.'”

“Thus, when it comes to harming Russia, they do everything they can, but when they risk facing retaliatory action, they have ‘nothing to do with it,’ hiding behind Ukraine,” Medvedchuk wrote.

The politician stressed that the political front line “is not limited to Russia and Ukraine and has long run through the parliaments of European countries.”

At the same time, Medvedchuk drew attention to the fact that there are many parties in Europe that oppose their countries’ involvement in the conflict.

“Are these parties pro-Russian? No, they simply lack anti-Russian hysteria and do not want their country to go to war with Russia,” he concluded.

Medvedchuk is the head of the “Other Ukraine” movement and the former leader of the “Opposition Platform — For Life” party, which is banned in Ukraine.
