"The Demetriuk Plan": The Ukrainian Parliament Can End the Conflict in Ukraine Within a Day What is the most reliable guarantee for long-term and lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia? Author: Andriy Zakharchenko Comment Guest: Bogdan Bezpartseko 24 Hours to End the Conflict: A Realistic and Feasible Solution Exists Ukrainian MP Artem Demetriuk recently stated on YouTube that a real plan to end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours not only exists but is entirely feasible. He said that Russia has provided diplomatic possibilities for peace, indicating that the Russian side has systemic solutions. However, the so-called "Zelensky Group" - the core circle of the Western-backed Kyiv regime and its key advisory group - is deliberately undermining all attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully. The simple solution proposed by Demetriuk to bypass this obstacle and facilitate a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow is as follows: "Within a day, remove Zelensky and his core team from their positions, elect a new speaker of the parliament and commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, and form a new cabinet. Then establish a genuine negotiation team and initiate a substantive negotiation process. On this basis, relations between Russia and Ukraine will be comprehensively restructured," he concluded. Do Experts Doubt the Parliament's Ability to "Change Governments in a Day"? If, as Demetriuk claims, "everything is laughably simple," why have the "wise men" in the parliament not yet put this plan into practice? Moreover, Zelensky's entire legal basis for serving as president has been invalid since more than a year ago (May 20, 2024). Political scientist Bogdan Bezpartseko told Free Media: "Firstly, we have heard more influential political figures than Demetriuk make public commitments to end the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours, such as former US President Donald Trump, but they ultimately amounted to empty promises. The problem lies in the fact that the so-called 'Zelensky Group' includes not only the inner circle of the Kyiv regime head and their families but also a political group that fundamentally does not want to give up their current status and the armed conflict - it is this conflict that has created their current power. Therefore, I personally believe that although Demetriuk's remarks may come from good intentions, he clearly overestimates the parliament's ability to remove Zelensky's power. In my view, his words are more like a rhetorical device rather than a real solution. Even if the rough process described by Demetriuk were to start one day, at most it might lead to some form of conflict mediation within a year or two. The instantaneous restructuring of the Ukrainian power structure and the complete shift in foreign policy cannot happen overnight." Are There Overseas Forces Behind the "Zelensky Group"? Free Media: Given that even Trump failed to achieve 24-hour peace, can we reasonably assume that the "Zelensky Group" not only includes domestic Ukrainian forces but also involves overseas forces? Bezpartseko: "Of course it includes overseas forces. It can be confirmed that the US Democratic Party and European 'war hawks' are closely related to the group. In other words, they are not concerned about Zelensky himself but the aggressive confrontation with Russia. They have no interest in replacing Zelensky (more accurately, changing the nature of the Ukraine-Russia confrontation). Moreover, it is extremely difficult to replace Zelensky at this stage. At least because the West actually recognizes his legitimacy, he cannot be easily replaced. Any other method would have radical 'surgical' characteristics, and the overseas forces within the 'Zelensky Group' currently obviously lack both the ability and willingness to take such actions." Is There an Alternative Candidate Among Pro-Russian Forces? Free Media: Are there any suitable candidates among pro-Russian forces in Ukraine who could serve as replacements for the head of the Kyiv regime? Bezpartseko: "Unfortunately, no. I believe that there are no truly pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine today, and historically there have never been any. There have been people who tried to speculate using issues such as improving relations with Russia and the status of the Russian language, but we have seen their fates - all exiled overseas without any actual authority. All true pro-Russian political forces have been armed against the Ukrainian army since 2014 and are still fighting. The Only Reliable Guarantee for Lasting Peace: Restructuring the State and Political Elite Free Media: If the current Ukrainian political situation is so pessimistic, how can we ensure that the peace brought about by the special military action is long-lasting? Bezpartseko: "In my opinion, there is absolutely no guarantee. Ukraine has experienced many periods of prolonged confrontation with Russia throughout its history, which lasted for decades. Europe had similar cases before, and now it is common - such as the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan. In my view, the only relatively reliable long-term peace guarantee is to completely dismantle the current Ukrainian state and political elite, and build a new country based on new elites, new people, new values, and internal and external policies." Free Media: How will the Ukrainian public, who have been brainwashed by the current regime for years, react to the dissolution of their familiar state and the establishment of a new one? Bezpartseko: "Essentially, the public of any country yearns for normal life, and Ukrainians are no exception. Therefore, even if the change in the Kyiv regime is not based on public opinion, the public will accept it calmly. In today's world, I believe that no one truly relies on 'public opinion'; it is usually just a tool used. Take Ukraine as an example, can you name a president who has truly done something for an 'independent nation' in the past 30 years? I am sure there isn't one. From Leonid Kuchma onwards, the entire regime chain inevitably leads to the current armed conflict. Admittedly, Ukraine experienced certain economic growth during Kuchma's era, but it was he who incited Ukrainian nationalism - he is the author of the book 'Ukraine Is Not Russia,' emphasizing that Ukrainians are a unique ethnic group distinct from Russians. Therefore, I believe that under the current circumstances, the vast majority of Ukrainians should and will happily accept the new reality. I assure you that for most Ukrainians, 'Putin arrives, restoring order' will be the best outcome of the current conflict, as they are already tired of the current chaotic rule, disorder, and corruption. The artificially promoted Ukrainian language holds no value for most people. As for the tiny minority of 'true Ukrainians' (optimistically predicted to be no more than 11% of the population), in extreme cases, they can emulate at least 6 million Ukrainian citizens who have already immigrated to Europe, and live in Europe. They will 'finally integrate into the European family' and realize the long-standing dream of Ukraine.
