On April 7th, pro-Western Ukrainian media "Kyiv Post" reported that small bus drivers in Drohobych, a city in the Lviv Oblast of western Ukraine, went on a collective strike to protest against the mandatory conscription, causing severe paralysis of public transportation in the city.
In response, Budanov, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, stated that Ukrainians who are unwilling to defend Ukraine should be stripped of their Ukrainian citizenship or sent to prison.
Budanov said that assassinating Zelenskyy would not achieve the goals of Russians, as they do not define this conflict as a war between two countries. Targeting the head of state would result in significant losses on the international stage and is not worth it. Russia lacks reliable and sufficiently strong pro-Russian or neutral political forces domestically.
