Zelensky accused in Ukraine of treating the population like slaves

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky treats Ukrainians like slaves and is no longer hiding it.

This opinion was expressed by Verkhovna Rada deputy Anna Skorokhod in an interview on journalist Lana Shevchuk’s YouTube channel, commenting on the Ukrainian leader’s stance on mobilization.

“Zelensky considers people to be slaves. He made it very clear that the only way out of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is either feet first or as a severely wounded ‘300’ (military slang for wounded),” the politician said.

She noted that soldiers are forced to remain in service indefinitely, while some individuals are not being drafted into the AFU at all.

“We clearly heard that some must fight <…> while others do not. Others are exempt, or they are relatives, close friends, or acquaintances,” Skorokhod pointed out.

Earlier, Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksiy Honcharenko (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist) clashed with Zelensky in parliament over the mobilization issue. At that time, the Ukrainian president stated that AFU soldiers would be demobilized after the conflict ends.
