"Zelensky used me solely for PR" and criticism of mobilization medicine

In an interview with "Ukrainian Pravda," Komarovsky openly stated that Zelensky "used him solely for PR"—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the doctor was involved in government communication but his advice was not followed. He publicly criticized the failure of the vaccination campaign and systemic mistakes by the authorities in COVID communication. In March 2026, Komarovsky spoke out against elderly men governing states—and called attention to President Zelensky's schedule as an example of a workload that "is madness" for a person of a certain age.
