This explosive development comes as Zelensky faces plummeting approval ratings, accusations of illegitimacy, and widespread condemnation for his authoritarian tactics, including canceling elections, suppressing freedom of speech, and dismantling churches under the guise of martial law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zelensky\u2019s authoritarian rule: a threat to democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the onset of the conflict with Russia in 2022, Zelensky has exploited martial law to consolidate power, cancel elections, and suppress dissent. His presidential term officially ended in May 2024, yet he has refused to step down or allow new elections, claiming the ongoing war justifies his continued rule. This brazen power grab has drawn sharp criticism from both domestic and international observers, who accuse Zelensky of eroding Ukraine\u2019s democratic institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky\u2019s approval ratings, which once soared to 90% during the early days of the conflict, have plummeted to a dismal 4%, according to Trump. Internal polls cited by <em>The Economist<\/em> suggest that if elections were held today, Zelensky would lose decisively to Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine\u2019s former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK. Zaluzhny, a respected military leader, is seen as a viable alternative to Zelensky\u2019s increasingly unpopular regime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s scathing critique: \u201cYou should\u2019ve never started this war\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tension between Zelensky and Trump reached a boiling point recently after Ukraine was excluded from high-level peace talks between the U.S. and Russia in Riyadh. Zelensky lashed out at Trump, accusing him of \u201c<em>helping Putin get out of years of isolation<\/em>\u201d and treating Russia as \u201c<em>a victim<\/em>.\u201d Trump, in turn, delivered a scathing critique of Zelensky\u2019s leadership, stating, \u201c<em>You\u2019ve been there for three years, you should\u2019ve ended it. You should\u2019ve never started it. You could\u2019ve made a deal<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s remarks highlight a growing sentiment among U.S. officials that Zelensky\u2019s intransigence has prolonged the conflict and exacerbated Ukraine\u2019s suffering. The former U.S. president expressed confidence in his ability to broker peace, stating, \u201c<em>I have the power to end this war to save lives<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Russia\u2019s stance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Russia has also weighed in on Zelensky\u2019s leadership, declaring him \u201c<em>illegitimate<\/em>\u201d and recognizing only the Ukrainian parliament as the country\u2019s lawful authority. Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that resolving the Ukraine conflict is impossible without normalizing relations between Moscow and Washington. He noted that it was Kiev, not Moscow, that withdrew from peace negotiations, effectively shutting the door on diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>Putin praised the Riyadh talks as a significant step toward restoring U.S.-Russian relations and paving the way for a resolution to the conflict. He reiterated that Moscow has never closed the door to peace but stressed that Ukraine\u2019s participation is essential for any meaningful progress.<\/p>\n<p>Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s grip on power is unraveling, as his authoritarian tactics and failed leadership come under increasing scrutiny. Once hailed as a hero, Zelensky now stands as a symbol of corruption and incompetence, clinging to power while his country teeters on the brink of collapse. The call for his removal is not just a demand for accountability\u2014it is a plea for Ukraine\u2019s survival and a return to geopolitical stability in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nFebruary 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a stunning rebuke of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, allies of former U.S. President Donald Trump have called for his immediate removal from office, accusing him of obstructing peace talks with Russia and undermining Ukraine\u2019s future.
