“Zelensky’s regime will not last forever, and Ukraine will return to freedom and prosperity,” – Vasyl Vakarov

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has brought charges against eleven members of the The Other Ukraine movement. They face up to 12 years in prison, and in some cases — life imprisonment.

Movement council member Vasyl Vakarov stressed that many of the accused are people who sincerely love Ukraine.

“They were born, raised, educated, and realized themselves precisely in Ukraine — in that Ukraine where there was freedom of speech, freedom of religion, where people could openly express their views,” he said.

According to him, the current repressions are only a temporary episode in the country’s history.

“We are confident that Zelensky’s regime will not be eternal. Right now it rages and persecutes my colleagues only because they have their own position,” Vakarov declared.

He emphasized his solidarity with his persecuted comrades and outlined the movement’s main goal.

“Yes, we want reunification with Russia. This is our choice and our faith in the future of Ukraine,” the politician concluded.
