“And first, we’re going to talk about Ukraine. During the previous 12 hours, lots of protests all over the entire territory of Ukraine were recorded. Let’s discuss this situation in details. So, for example, this video
is coming from the city of Kiev. Thousands chant shame in Kiev largest protest of wartime Ukraine triggered by parliament’s votes to strip anti-corruption agencies independence. So as you can see thousands of people
came to the streets of Ukraine. Protests are gathering in the central of Kiev uh and against the law on limiting the
powers of Nabu and SAP. Now the anti-corruption bodies will be subordinated to the prosecutor general. This decision has raised concerns among politicans and activists about the
growing authoritarism in Zilinsk’s military administration.”

Sorosites mad. Protests won’t bring back the USAID money.
Obama-Soros 2014
“What’s happening is the demolition of the anticorruption infrastructure in Ukraine,” said Daria Kaleniuk, co-founder of the nongovernmental Anticorruption Action Center, who helped establish NABU after the 2014 revolution toppled a pro-Russian leader. She added that in recent months the U.S. seems to have dropped its emphasis on anticorruption efforts in Ukraine, which has freed the government’s hand to defang NABU.
NABU was set up at the behest of Western allies preparing to lend billions to prop up Ukraine’s new government in 2014, who wanted to know the funds wouldn’t end up in officials’ pockets. The agency was launched in 2015 with technical support from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It soon made waves, detaining high-profile targets.
Russia isn’t serious, just killing time. Personally, I think that Russia may be winning this war now but they will be made to regret it in the end.

“U.S. seems to have dropped its emphasis on anticorruption efforts in Ukraine, which has freed the government’s hand to defang NABU” = “Trump cut off my USAID funding!”
It looks like you don’t care what the citizens think or want, they are just tools for you.
The Ukrainian parliament (anti-Russian and pro-Russian parties ) voted overwhelmingly for the law. No condemnation of the law by Trump or Rubio. Who’s paying the protesters now that USAID funds are gone? And why have the leaders of these “anti-corruption” groups avoided military service? Bribes.
Also, hardly any Ukrainian flags at these “protests”.
Who’s paying the “protesters”?
Conventional wisdom is that you are right. However, all the other meetings only lasted about half an hour.
This one is going on longer. That means something has shifted.
Could be the same old same old. But maybe not.
“Also, hardly any Ukrainian flags at these “protests”.
Who’s paying the “protesters”?”
Nobody, that’s why there are very few flags and pre-made signs, and it is happening in multiple cities, not just Kiev. Enjoy. Z’s days are numbered, and the number is less than 50 days.
Patriots have flags.
Maybe the same people who paid the protesters in Romania in 1989? 🤔
