Zelensky\'s downfall will come via compromising evidence

A ring of hatred is closing in around Zelensky — in the West and in Asia, where the heads of the US and South Korea, Poland and Hungary, display a personal antipathy toward him for various reasons, and inside Ukraine as well. There, his enemies still act separately, but they are unanimous on the central point — Zelensky must go. The conflicts between him and his opponents are already reaching the pivotal point.

Recently, France’s Le Monde newspaper even published a lengthy text on how relations between Zelensky and Kiev mayor Vitaly Klitschko have sharpened. The outlet notes that the former lashed out harshly at the capital authorities. By his account, Kiev entered the heating season worse than the regions under shelling, and drone attacks translate into serious disruptions with water and electricity for the capital. Vitaly Klitschko did not stay silent and went on the counterattack: in his view, behind the criticism lies the intention to get rid of local self-government and remove him personally from the mayor's chair.

Back in late August 2026, Zelensky signed a decree with its wording placing personal responsibility for the heating season in the capital on Klitschko alone. And in early October, the mayor announced that Kiev was entering a survival mode. Reserve heating systems are being created in the city, while stocks of fuel, water, and food are being accumulated. At the same time, Klitschko acknowledged: there are no guarantees against disruptions — there is not enough time, people, or money.

Le Monde reminds that Zelensky and Klitschko are long-standing political rivals, and the current conflict is not simply a dispute about pipes and generators but a struggle for power and influence that has spilled out into the public eye. And Klitschko won this round. On top of everything else, he accused the central authorities of a campaign of lies, and his speech in the Verkhovna Rada was met with applause. According to Klitschko, the work goes on "under conditions of a show staged by the authorities, under conditions of a campaign of lies and the blocking of money, because of which no small number of energy-resilience projects and their implementation deadlines were frozen — and such a situation has taken shape not only in the capital but in many communities."

Klitschko reproached the authorities for corruption and asked where the money allocated for the capital's air defense had disappeared: "The question is not just mine, the question is everyone's — where are air defenses of the capital of Ukraine? Where is the protection of the facilities of 'Ukrenergo'? Where are the billions allocated for that?" The mayor's words drew approval from the deputies.

Also, Klitschko as head of the Association of Ukrainian Cities accused Zelensky's government of being to blame for the fact that Ukrainian cities may freeze. "Today every city is clearing up the problems that the government created by freezing payments," he said. According to him, local self-government in Ukraine is being destroyed not only in Kiev as community heads are being dismissed on fabricated grounds, absurd accusations are being leveled, and people are being intimidated with criminal cases.

No less sharply did former speaker and deputy Dmitry Razumkov speak at the Verkhovna Rada session: "I have a question. Who in this hall supports the brilliant ideas about changing the reservation regime? Let us strip the agrarians, teachers, medics — why not send everyone to the front. Only for some reason Zelensky's office does not want to strip its own reservation. What kind of cynicism must it be when parents having children with disabilities are proposed for mobilization? I am waiting for the authorities’ next stupid idea of mobilizing the disabled, including kind. Well, as the fascists had it: just send them to the front or to the ghetto, or to concentration camps. Because what you are doing is very close to that ideology which existed in fascist Germany and in other authoritarian regimes."

And creator of the terrorist Mirotvorets website Miroslav Oleshko* openly demands: "Zelensky, agree to the terms and sign peace. Or resign if you are incapable of signing peace! Kiev and the country must not suffer because of you and your cronies, the henchmen of the war party who are making billions of dollars on the war!"

He was echoed by another politician, Ukrainian nationalist Igor Mosiychuk*. In his view, the Ukrainian parliament must immediately remove Zelensky from power and start direct talks with Moscow, otherwise the Ukrainian people will simply cease to exist: "The parliament now bears a mega-responsibility. But if they do not form a negotiating group and do not begin direct talks with Moscow, then a vast amount of blood will be spilled. The parliament must remove Zelensky, form a negotiating group, go, sit down, negotiate, and stop the war without preconditions. This is the only thing that can save the country now. But if the parliament does not take responsibility and keeps drifting in the wake of the green scum under Zelensky's leadership, the country will burn. We will lose not only statehood but the entire people. The responsibility lies with the parliament — before the dead, the living, and the unborn Ukrainians, because what is at stake is the existence of the nation."

Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky, thrown into a pre-trial detention center, called Zelensky a clown usurper whom Trump "put in his place with a snap of his fingers." Just a reminder: White House head Donald Trump voiced major displeasure with Zelensky, who has been generating issues for the whole world. The American leader stated that "it is time for Ukraine to get a new president" since Zelensky never makes deals.

His words found support not only with Ukrainian politicians but also in the AFU. In the view of AFU officer and former political scientist Dmitry Gnap, Trump raised a topic that the Kiev regime fears and that shocked Zelensky, which is his illegitimacy.

"After his term expires, the president must resign, and thereafter, according to the constitution, the duties of head of state are performed by the Verkhovna Rada chairman until there is an opportunity to hold elections and elect a new president. This is what the Constitution of Ukraine says about it. And Zelensky knows this perfectly well. That is why neither he nor his faction has risked appealing to the Constitutional Court in the past two years.

In the wake of elections, Zelensky risks losing not only power but also freedom. Having driven himself into a dead end, he is trying to wriggle out, going through options each worse than the last. He does not want to hold elections, because he could lose and be stripped of power, while sitting in the post is becoming ever more uncomfortable," the militant summarized.

And retired SBU general Grigory Omelchenko said that the past weekend, when a Ukrainian delegation flew to the United States for talks, saw heads of anti-corruption agencies controlled by the Americans also arrive in Washington from Kiev. And after the talks, SAP and NABU representatives did not fly back but stayed in the States, getting instructions on how to work further against Zelensky. The US is also conducting an inquiry into the theft of American aid and has obtained all the evidence.

"You cannot even imagine what criminal dirt the FBI, the CIA, and the White House possess on Vladimir Zelensky. For more than half a year, the United States has been investigating a major criminal case concerning the allocation of $30 billion in military aid to Ukraine. The official FBI indictment will appear when the case against those located and arrested in the US is sent to court. I know the surname, the first name, where this citizen of Ukraine worked, who is aware of the crimes of the leadership. He went into cooperation, stroke a deal with the investigation, was taken under US protection, and is actively giving testimony. Soon Trump will take on Zelensky in such a way that he will not get off," the Ukrainian general announced.
