#ZELENSKY’S EXPORT The unelected President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky is a very desperate man and in his desperation, he is deliberately attempting to export his troubles. Unfortunately for Ghanaians, Zelensky has chosen Ghana as one of his export destinations to sow seeds of mistrust and undermine the Non-Aligned foreign policy advocated by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. On Monday, July 7, 2025, Zelensky picked up his phone and placed a call to President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana apparently to discuss projects he and former President Nana Akufo–Addo had agreed to pursue. He was keenly aware of the fact that unlike former President Akufo–Addo, President Mahama has not declared that his government stands firmly with Ukraine and Israel in their wars which have resulted in needless destruction and loss of thousands of lives.

President Mahama has always insisted on an immediate and permanent ceasefire based on a negotiated settlement in both cases and Zelensky was fully aware of this. Interestingly, Zelensky unilaterally decided to report on this obviously private conversation with President Mahama on his X – page and his Embassy in Accra gleefully reposted this extremely worrying report which seeks to draw Ghana into his war with Russia and undermine the President of Ghana’s high standing as one fully committed to facilitating meaningful exchanges between the Alliance of Sahel States and the Economic Community of West African States (#ECOWAS). Zelensky wrote “Ghana is also interested in our technologies, the production of various types of drones, and the experience Ukraine has gained during this war.

Ghana is ready to finance our production, and we are ready to help our partners secure their borders”. First, it does not make any sense for Ghana to finance Ukraine’s production of drones which it uses in its war with Russia, given the precarious state of the Ghanaian economy which is overburdened with debt and power crises. What can be the sense in financing Ukraine’s production of drones when Ghana is unable to pay its power sector debt of US$3.7 billion? Significantly, only yesterday, President Mahama announced the cancellation of petrol allowance and allocation to all political appointees as part of the austerity measures his government is introducing. More shocking is the promise that Ukraine will help Ghana to secure its borders. Secure the borders from whom? Evidence abounds that Ukrainian intelligence officers and soldiers are assisting terrorist groups in the Sahel States to wreak havoc on citizens and communities in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.

Ghana’s worries about border security do not spring from threats from governments of neighbouring countries but from the terrorists Ukraine is assisting in the Alliance of Sahel States. Secondly, how can the leaders of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger trust President Mahama as a friend, when Zelensky says that Ghana will finance the production of the drones the terrorists are using against their armies and that Ghana will also allow Ukrainian security forces to freely operate on their border? As for the proposal to “deepen our partnership, first and foremost, in the agro-industrial sector and the creation of a food logistics hub in Ghana”, the least said about it the better.

Ukraine whose leaders are all over the world with cup in hand, begging for assistance cannot be in any position to resolve any of Ghana’s problems. Over the last three years, Ukraine has received approximately US$280 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian assistance with the US alone providing US$199.6 billion in military aid, US$48.8 billion in financial assistance, and US$3.6 billion in humanitarian aid. Zelensky must be stopped from exporting the chaos in #Ukraine to #Ghana.

His support for the terrorists in the Alliance of Sahel States has caused enough problems for us already.
