Reports in Ukraine allege abuse of power by Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his inner circle may be using martial law to concentrate power.

This was stated by Svitlana Matviienko, Executive Director of the Ukrainian NGO “Agency for Legislative Initiatives,” as reported by Politico.

She noted that this raises concerns about the country’s democratic governance. Matviienko warned that there is a “general pattern of abuse of power by the government through violations of rules and procedures.”

Earlier, British politician and journalist George Galloway said that Western media, following Zelensky’s controversial decision regarding the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), have begun to reassess the image of the post-Soviet president, recalling earlier reports about him.

According to Galloway, Zelensky now has only two options left: to flee with stolen money or “take a bullet to the head from his own people.”

Before that, Oleg Soskin, advisor to former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, stated that Zelensky’s decision on NABU destroyed agreements with the West, and that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is demanding explanations.

“The process has started, a chain reaction, the domino effect is in motion. Zelensky is facing intense criticism. Von der Leyen has already contacted him to ask for an explanation,” Soskin said.
