KIEV — “I was on the streets for the Orange Revolution when I was in my last year at university in 2004, and I was on the streets again in 2014. So, the 10-year mark of when we tend to mount revolutions is approaching,” said Inna Sovsun, an opposition lawmaker for Ukraine’s liberal pro-European Holos party.
And she suspects there’s another political upheaval on its way.
And while navigating the tempestuous postwar political waters would be difficult for any leader, according to the former minister, it will be especially so for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as he’s become part of the problem — a leader with autocratic tendencies.
Four months before Russia invaded, Zelenskyy and two close associates were also implicated in offshore financial activity. Based on the Pandora Papers — a cache of documents revealing the offshore activities of political leaders and other prominent individuals worldwide — the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project disclosed that the Ukrainian leader had established offshore companies before becoming president but continued to profit from them after taking office. Zelenskyy, for his part, denied any money laundering or illegality with the funds.

I fear the "Diem Treatment". It's how these boys play
Yeah, he’ll be gone by summer. No point in letting Russia take all of Donetsk.
Dead men tell no tales.
I’m afraid he talks too much, not like that Afghanistan President who disappeared overnight with a helicopter full of taxpayers money.
Unfortunately for the anti-Ukraine/anit-Zelensky/anti-American-involvement/pro-Russia folks, here and elsewhere...
Zelensky has become a hero to the Ukrainian people, and he’ll be around as president after the war, and perhaps many years after. He’ll be the biggest hero in over 50 years in all of Europe if he can remove the Russians from his country without having to give up any land or any other concessions.
I don’t think you’re following the details of this scam as closely as you should be
Europe's biggest hero.
lol..
How is there supposed to be another coup d’etat when Victoria Nuland and the others who orchestrated the last one have been exposed?
Has anyone seen Samantha Power and Victoria Nuland recently?
They haven’t appeared in Kiev, have they?
“if he can remove the Russians from his country without having to give up any land or any other concessions”
Only the deluded believe that possible, much less likely.
It won’t happen.
Do you smoke it and take it in the arm?
“Ukraine could be looking at another Maidan”
Because they need to get rid of some more Russians?
Biden offered to send a helicopter to pick up Zelenskyy and Zelenskyy turned him down.
The irony is that the Dukakis stunt would work well in the current political environment. It shows how much the mind of the average voter has deteriorated since then.
Russia already won.
