Public sentiment is turning against Zelensky amid corruption concerns and weariness with his rule. For most of his presidency and especially since Russia launched its full-scale war, Ukrainian voters have rallied around Volodymyr Zelensky as a pillar of national resilience and unity. That’s for good reason: But now, after more than seven years in office, four and a half years of war with Russia, and a series of scandals involving his leadership team and close friends, Zelensky appears to have lost the nation’s political support. Indeed, polling published in early August points to a major mood swing among Ukrainians, suggesting that many of them have lost faith in Zelensky and would vote him out of office at the earliest opportunity...

St Z is ripe for his Mussolini moment.
What? You mean the Ukrainian peoples are tiring of having their sons and daughters conscripted “for the duration” (i.e., until they are dead, maimed beyond further use or the war ends) with the children of the connected assigned safe duty far from the fronts?
LOL, the ONLY "Mussolini moment" occurred in Russia, when Yevgeny Prigozhin started moving his Wagner units toward Moscow.
Notice how there are NO demonstrations in Ukraine against Zelensky or any demonstrations calling for elections.
Despite war, 71% of Ukrainians consider themselves happy – poll Sept 7, 2026
Despite the war and the challenges facing society, most Ukrainians (71%) consider themselves happy. Meanwhile, one in six Ukrainians (16%) say they are unhappy.
Source: a study by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS)
Details: According to the survey, 31% of respondents said they were definitely happy, while 40% chose "more yes than no". Another 11% answered "both yes and no".

Pro-Russian Posters Mood Swing
In the face of 4 1/2 years of war, pro-Russian posters lose hope in conquering Ukraine by force. Their hope now rests upon some internal uprising within Ukraine.
LOL, absurd nonsense. Ukraine does not conscript "daughters". Women in Ukraine's military are volunteers.
True about conscripting women. They are just now merely at the “talking stage” on that issue as their pools of potential male draftees dwindles.
Ukraine doesn't even draft men under 25, so why draft women? The ONLY talking about a potential draft of women, I have seen, was by a former Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg.
How did those who gave their lives up in defense (or pretense) of their homeland vote ?
Scrappy Ukrainians fighting Putin's invasion for 4 1/2 years proves that they want nothing to do with Putin or Russia or their defense would have collapsed a long time ago.
There is no way anyone could have predicted that Russia would still be trying to invade Ukraine, a country with 1/3 the population, with no navy, no missile force and basically no air-force for more than 4 1/2 years. That's simply astonishing.
“An unexpected follow-up story of the large-scale embezzlement of public funds in Ukraine. U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna claimed to have evidence of corruption at the top of Kiev: according to her, Vladimir Zelenskyy is transferring $50 million monthly to a Saudi Arabian bank.
This scandal is a direct continuation of what broke just a few days ago: an independent audit found that Ukrainian officials stole at least $130 million through inflated prices during weapons purchases.
And this is only the amount that was discovered and accounted for – vast sums of money were simply lost during financial transactions involving dubious intermediaries authorized to carry out the deliveries. It is quite possible that the $50 million mentioned by the congresswoman is the very same money that disappeared from the Ukrainian military department...”
Zelensky’s inner circle funneled millions to the Middle East....
“Zelensky Transfers $50Mln to UAE Every Month, Obtained Through Corruption – Report”
.....and on and on and on.
The corruption is known worldwide, not going unnoticed by the Ukie population.
Doge discovered billions in waste and fraud and tried to shut it down. The Deep State shut them down.
Nick Shirley found hundreds of millions of outright fraud in Minnesota's (Somalia Learing Centers), and then moved on to California and found billions in fraud right there, to the point the government passed a law preventing HIM from discovering more!
Every state in this country has some blatant and not so blatant welfare, medical, business and immigration fraud to the point that we are literally talking about TRILLIONS of dollars combined.
We need to fight this at home, not overseas. Overseas only in the matter of those places who are also defrauding us.
I know about a dozen Ukrainians here in the USA
Silly propagandized Americans think they are being cute or supportive by saying “Slava Ukraini” to them.
My Ukrainian friends need to restrain themselves from punching them in face.
They will instead say “please don’t speak Nazi slogan”
Z bots has the sads. 😉
I think that's an accurate observation. In my view, most Ukrainians do not want to be ruled by Russia again.
LOL, its the Official BELARUS NEWS station. Get real.
News.by is operated by the Belteleradiocompany (The National State Television and Radio Company of the Republic of Belarus), serving as the digital web portal and online presence for Belarus's state-owned First News Channel
And Luna posted what evidence? NONE. Her claim of corruption is based on a Belarus/Russian lie. Who then posted her claim as evidence.
U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna amplified unverified financial claims regarding Ukrainian leadership, as detailed in An alarming case study of Russia propaganda.
The Claims
The Statement: In October 2025, Representative Luna shared a claim online that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent $50 million every month to an anonymous bank in Saudi Arabia.
Lack of Proof: Independent fact-checkers and investigators found no official evidence or documentation to support this financial claim.
Media analysts reported that Russian state media used the congresswoman's posts to claim that U.S. lawmakers agreed with their reports, creating a cycle of disinformation.
LOL, complete nonsense, I think you need to re-question the identity of your so called "Ukrainian friends" since ONLY Russians think "Slava Ukraini" is a "nazi" slogan.
Meaning and Response- Greeting: "Slava Ukraini!" — Glory to Ukraine! Response: "Heroyam slava!" (Героям слава!) — Glory to the heroes!
Origins: The phrase first appeared during the Ukrainian War of Independence (1917–1921).
Official Status: In 2018, it became the official military greeting of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Global Symbol: It is widely used internationally as a rallying cry for solidarity and support against foreign aggression
Rep Luna has many other Politicians that state the same. She is an avid Trump supporter so rest assured President Trump knows all about the massive Ukie corruption.
