Ukrainian officials said Monday that they thwarted an attempted coup, arresting individuals who had conspired to allegedly stage a riot in Kyiv.
Ukraine’s internal security service, known as the SBU, said a group of activists were detained for trying to create riots over the weekend that would lead to the removal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government in power. The alleged attempt took place Sunday, as Ukraine was commemorating the anniversary of its constitution.
The SBU did not name the individuals and it’s unclear if they are connected to Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has made multiple efforts to target Zelensky. But the main conspirator behind the alleged coup is part of a nonprofit governmental organization (NGO) that is known to be anti-Ukraine, according to the security service, and other NGOs in Ukraine were also allegedly involved.
The SBU claimed that the accused individuals tried to stage a peaceful rally and then storm the Ukrainian Parliament building with the aim of seizing it.

Peace protesters are now a coup?! I guess that works in country that banned political parties, religious groups, elections, free press, etc.
The hypocrisy here is off the charts. Maybe the perpetrators earnestly thought that’s how you are supposed to change government in Ukraine, based on precedent.
When Zelvis cancelled the elections, wasn’t that a coup?
And Mrs Z has a new Buggati all of a sudden. Weird huh? 4.8 million euros. Maybe she sold off some Louis Vittons.....
The only coup on St Z is from within. His nation lies in ruins, economically destroyed, dependent 100 percent on western welfare….his male population utterly wiped,….Ukies see what has happened to their country under his “ leadership “- destruction.
St Z will be done in most likely by his own military, whose losses have been horrendous. Post war analysis will tell all.
Zelensky’s regime will go the way of Hitler, ( how fitting)….assassination attempts increased exponentially during his last days.
But at least Z’s wife was able to buy a 4.5 million dollar Bugotti
Interesting that you fall for that stuff.
Ok so it was a Volkswagen EV. 😂👍
Gullibility is everywhere, as P.T.Barnum knew very well.
At least I didn’t buy the CONvid academic. 😁👍
The Bugatti story is deflection to take attention away from the pallets of greenbacks being driven into Switzerland.
“coup” = Ukraine people asking about having the elections that their constitution calls for
