THE DAY AFTER: Zelensky Arrests Anti-corruption Officials, Signs Law Stripping Agencies of Power – Protesters Flood the Streets, and Ukraine Will Never Be the Same (VIDEOS)

The ‘defender of democracy’ is now openly challenged by his own citizens.

Many were caught by surprise by yesterday’s protests in Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, and other parts of Ukraine – after all, these are the absolute first since the war began three and a half years ago.

But here at TGP we have been closely following the escalating tensions inside the war-torn country.

Four days ago (19), we reported that Amid Collapsing Morale, Ukrainians ‘Lost Faith’ in Zelensky, With 70% Convinced That Kiev Regime Leaders Are Using the War to Enrich Themselves: REPORT.

The following day (20), there was this thought-provoking development: Pulitzer Prize Winner Seymour Hersh Reports That US May Move to Oust Zelensky, Even by Force – General Zaluzhny Would Be Tasked for Succession.

On Monday (21), we showed Zelensky’s efforts to change the image of his regime: CHARM OFFENSIVE: Zelensky Reshuffles His Government, Aiming to Show a Different Side of Ukraine for the US and the World.

Meanwhile, on the same Monday, Ukraine’s domestic security agency detained two NABU (Anti-corruption agency) officials on ‘suspicion of links to Russia’.

Finally, yesterday, after the Parliament voted to strip the Anti-Corruption agencies of any real power, it was the final straw, and Massive Protests Erupt Against Zelensky in Ukraine.

NATO is facing the fact that Zelensky has less than 50 days left. He has failed at negotiating anything whatsoever and Putin and Trump are through with him. Putin thinks he’s not legit, meanwhile Z insists on acting as if the two nations’ situations are reversed.

Ukrainian bureaucrats using war and corruption to enrich themselves? No way.

You didn't need to be a savant to see this coming. Ukraine is steeped in corruption. Year, after year, after year, after year. I wish Z-man would assume room temperature.

Of course they wouldn’t do that. It’s almost as if people would want us to believe Eastern Europe is a hotbed of corruption. /sarc

It is no secret in Ukraine or anywhere else that Coke head Zelensky and company have been lining their pockets for years with $Billions intended to arm Ukraine. He was “elected” with outside influence and a bevy of lies that should have caused his coke filled Pinochio nose to grow to a length longer than he is tall.

The people of Ukraine are getting sick and tired of someone who promised to keep the peace but instead immediately began following the orders of Biden and his NATO puppet masters who wanted a proxy war that they thought would result in regime change in Russia. They now realize that NATO leadership will not be satisfied until every man and boy in Ukraine is lying dead rotting in a ditch.

If there were an award for Most Likely to be Hanging from a Lamp Post Zelensky would win it hands down. At this point there is no doubt that his primary mission is finding an exit strategy where he will be able to live out his days in a comfortable place that his countrymen will not be able to extradite him from.

It is hard to believe that someone associated with Putin hasn't pushed him out of a window.

Who does the military support is the key in dictatorships.

Lots of different ways to get rid of him.

I suspect he will get hit.

The most spectacular way would be to order the military to take a ride into Kiev and take him out but, that would entail informing the Russians of the intentions. To risky as he’d get a heads up.

Best way is an internal hit.
Gotta be some open window someplace there.

From the article:

...Zelensky finally broke his silence – and blamed the situation on Russia.

Gee...where have I heard that before? /s

I've known, and have posted this a few times a while back.
Zelensky has used martial law & general mobilization to appoint his military thugs to run a shadow government over elected officials.
This is going on for quite some time now.
This is how he does it.
He declared martial law on February 24, 2022, knowing Ukraine's constitution mandates that elections cannot go ahead until any declaration of martial law is lifted.
The duration of martial law and general mobilization in Ukraine has to be extended every 90 days.
Zelensky's regime has voted, and he has signed a martial law extension  15 times already to avoid any elections, and to hold on to his dictatorship !!
He simply denies the Ukrainian people the elections they desperately want and deserve.
The next 90 day extension will expire on August 6th 2025. No doubt, the power hungry, little dictator will continue signing extensions after extensions.
The majority of the Ukrainian people DO NOT AND HAVEN'T supported this dictator weasel, but they do know what the consequences are if they speak out against him and his neo-Nazi regime.

I love the delicious irony of complaining that Zelenskyy met with liberals in a thread about an article citing Seymour Hersh, the most virulently anti-American, Marxist phony journalist in history, known even among other Marxist phony journalists as the man who never had a source.

The only reason why Zelensky had to dissolve his so called “Anti-Corruption” department is because the Neocons ACTIVATED IT, in order to finally rid themselves of having to deal with Zelensky.
