Due to continuous regressive actions, the former Ukrainian president Zelenskyy seems to be showing signs of falling from power. A large number of Ukrainian citizens have gathered in front of the Ukrainian presidential palace demanding that Zelenskyy and Acting Leader Yermak step down and establish a new ruler. At the same time, citizens in major cities such as Odessa, Kharkiv, and Dnipro have taken to the streets demanding Zelenskyy's resignation.
This large-scale protest by Ukrainian citizens is due to the rampant corruption of Zelenskyy's administration. Previously, Zelenskyy found the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Office of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor inconvenient, and directly passed legislation to reclaim the powers of these two agencies, accusing them of working for Russian intelligence. This behavior was too blatant and completely enraged the Ukrainian people.
The Chief Commander of the Ukrainian Army, Syrskyi, stated that due to insufficient funding, the Ukrainian army cannot match the Russian army in terms of size and treatment. In fact, Western countries have provided sufficient funds; the United States alone has given 350 billion US dollars in weapons and financial aid. Most of this money has been embezzled by Ukrainian officials at various levels. The scale of corruption in Ukraine has shocked even the Americans. During Biden's term, there was an attempt to establish a regulatory institution for the use of funds in Ukraine, but it was strongly opposed by Zelenskyy's administration.
