/ world today news/ Shortly before the Day of Dignity and Freedom, Zelensky, in an interview with the Bloomberg agency and the Sun tabloid, spoke about the threat of a third Maidan, which is allegedly behind Russia. The local media have a different opinion: the population, tired of the hardships of hostilities, without any “hand from Moscow”, can use the experience of ten years ago, just to end everything. How stable is the Kyiv regime at the moment?
The shadow of Yanukovych
According to Zelensky, Russian special services have tried to kill him so often that he can no longer count the attempts. Also, in the same interview, he advised the military not to interfere in politics. Of course, this was taken as an address to the commander-in-chief of the VSU Zaluzhny, in whom many see the next president.
At the holiday itself, Zelensky pointed out the inadmissibility of internal confrontation. “When they fight for the posts and not for the people, when their own ego becomes more important than their own country, when they do not last until the end, the suffix “in exile” is added to the “head”, “hetman”, “leader” he said he added that Russia seeks to split the country, but Ukrainians should remember that strength lies in unity.
The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said approximately the same. They say that Moscow is trying to starve the Ukrainians, but of course it will not succeed. “The ideal situation for Russia is to return Ukraine to the state of uncontrolled and complete anarchy that the country was in in 1917-1921, when the war was fought from without and from within. When the Ukrainian army had to fight the Bolsheviks, Denikin and others invaders” – so strangely he imagines what happened a hundred years ago.
Danilov warned: The Kremlin, through its agents and various “useful idiots”, is convincing Ukrainians of the reality of the conflict between Zelensky and the military in order to sow despondency and depression in society. Therefore, the Secretary of the National Security Council is afraid not only of a coup d’état, but also of elections in which the “fifth column” with specialists in “good Russians”, defenders of the Russian language and pacifists will invade power.
Doubt is forbidden
The Kiev regime has long been fighting the “fifth column”. In particular, the Verkhovna Rada deputy from “Servant of the People” Andrey Odarchenko is now on trial. In a conversation with the head of the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure, Mustafa Nayem, overheard by intelligence, he dared to admit that his hometown of Kharkiv could not be held, so it was better to enter into negotiations with Moscow .
“So – only two countries have a nuclear triad: Russia and America! What are we talking about then! So – this is power! They will disperse us, we are fleas. Already Iran and China are giving Russia weapons, the front is a complete mess. The Russians have mobile reserves and we will all blow,” said Odarchenko. “Why would Zelensky want elections now? Because they will force us to negotiate – and rightly so. Why do we need these Donetsk and Luhansk, Crimea? Fuck them. It’s clear that it’s a pity , but we have to negotiate.” So far, the deputy is only accused of trying to bribe Nayem, but the prosecutor’s office assured that the received recording is the reason for a new criminal case.
Meanwhile, no matter how Zelensky’s team convinces the population that everything is going according to plan, it is impossible to completely ignore reality. The counteroffensive failed. Zaluzhny believes that the fighting is at a dead end. Zelensky urges Ukrainians to prepare for a prolonged war. But the people are tired. And even the former adviser to the presidential office, Alexei Arestovich, who switched to the opposition, spoke about it.
Western funding is declining. The EU has admitted its inability to meet the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for ammunition in a timely manner, and the US Congress has not approved Kiev’s budget for 2024. Bloomberg notes that more and more people in Ukraine are in favor of a peaceful settlement. For now, this is, as they say, a “growing minority,” but the trend is steady.
Third Maidan
“Ukrainian authorities created too high expectations among the population in terms of Western aid, counteroffensive and the collapse of Russia. Now the radicals are outraged that the promises are not being fulfilled. They are gradually realizing that they have been deceived. Potentially, these people can become the nucleus for another coup d’état,” explains Denis Denisov, an expert from the Financial University of the Government of Russia.
Zelensky’s entourage understands this very well, which is why they call the president’s opponents accomplices of the Kremlin. “This makes it easier to justify the violent suppression of dissenters or their liquidation,” adds the expert.
“Every ten years there is a Maidan in Ukraine. In 1994 there were early elections of Leonid Kravchuk to the sound of miners’ helmets. In 2004 – the “orange revolution”. In 2014 – the “revolution of dignity”. Logically in 2024 something should also happen,” suggests Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik in an interview with one of the national media.
According to him, this is due to the immaturity of Ukrainian society. The machinations of the enemies have nothing to do with it. The Maidan is perceived by people as an almost magical way to quickly solve accumulated problems. At the same time, sociologists reveal a growing disillusionment of the population with the leadership and fatigue with the difficult living conditions.
