Politics

Nedasekau supports Alexander Lukashenko. In 2020, he condemned the protests and signed an open letter of the pro-government sportsmen. Nedasekau actively participates in children training in military-patriotic camps.

In April 2023, Nedasekau was blacklisted by Ukraine.

In July 2023, Nedasekau said in an interview that "Ukraine is conducting hostilities, people are dying, and their athletes are competing and rejoicing. What do I mean? They like to accuse us of competing, smiling, but there are fightings over there. Although, I would like to note, Belarus does not participate in the SMO. We are Union State with Russia, and therefore we provide support. But this is natural and normal, as it should be. But is it normal that the athletes of a country that is at war calmly participate in commercial competitions, earn money and have fun when their compatriots are fighting at the front?"
