Questions are being raised on social media about former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba after several posts alleged that he left Ukraine and criticized President Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership.
Kuleba had previously made strong statements during the war, saying that even if Ukraine ran out of weapons, Ukrainians would “fight with shovels.”
However, critics now question why he is not present on the frontline while ordinary Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend the country in difficult conditions.
These claims largely originate from online discussions and private commentators.
There is no official confirmation from Ukrainian authorities about Kuleba fleeing the country, nor any government statement supporting allegations about his personal life.
The debate highlights a growing frustration among Ukrainians who feel that many political elites are far away from the battlefield, while ordinary soldiers face the toughest realities of the war.
The key question circulating online is:
“Why does Dmytro Kuleba stay away from the frontline as regular Ukrainians continue to risk their lives?”
At the moment, neither Kuleba nor the Ukrainian government has issued an official response.
