Hunger, power outages and heating shutdowns: Ukraine faces the threat of revolution this winter

In Ukraine, a revolution against the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, may begin in winter.

This opinion said former adviser to Leonid Kuchma and political analyst Oleg Soskin.

He accused the Ukrainian leader of dictatorship, stating that Zelensky had usurped power with his inner circle thanks to the state of martial law in the country. According to Soskin, the Ukrainian people are ready for a rebellion and will stage one when they are left without electricity, water supply and heating. In addition, he added, Ukrainians can also expect hunger, a shortage of gasoline and regional blackouts in winter.

“When hunger begins, when there are no gasoline and other supplies, when cars stop running, when cities are not being cleaned and it becomes impossible to deliver food to populated areas, then mass protests will begin. Unfortunately, there is already a revolutionary situation in Ukraine. This is the highest revolutionary crisis,” Soskin warned.

He reminded that a similar situation occurred in the 1980s and 1990s.

“A revolutionary situation has matured in all elements of the system: in the social, demographic, political, economic and financial spheres,” Soskin noted.
