We're forced to wonder about the viability of Ukrainian President
🇺🇦 🇺🇸Statement by Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Alexander Dubinsky

Mr. Dubinskyi's statement reads:
The events of the past hours - the public humiliation of Zelensky at the White House, Trump’s acknowledgment of Zelensky's diplomatic failure, and Ukraine’s loss of unconditional U.S. support - have marked the final act of the regime's collapse. But Zelensky has not only failed in foreign policy - he has driven the country into a state where anyone who disagrees with his course faces repression.
I was thrown into prison not for a crime, but for speaking the truth. The very truth that Trump has now stated: Zelensky has lost. He has no cards left to play, he is running out of soldiers, and the country has reached a dead end due to his stubbornness.
"Public humiliation" isn't too strong a word at all. There are video clips everywhere, including right here on RedState. Zelensky was out of his depth. And President Trump was as angry as we've ever seen him.
Dubinskyi continued:
I demand the immediate convening of an emergency session of the Parliament, where Parliament must initiate impeachment proceedings against Zelensky for:
- the failure of foreign policy, which has led to Ukraine's international isolation and the loss of allied support.
- a lost war, which is the result of incompetent leadership and catastrophic decisions.
- violations of citizens' rights and the usurpation of power, manifested in the suppression of the opposition, persecution of dissenters, and authoritarian rule.
It's important to note that Alexander Dubinsky is a former member of the Ukrainian parliament. It's unclear as to whether his demands will fall on receptive ears.
He concludes:
I appeal to all Members of the Ukrainian Parliament: stop wasting time, stop waiting! Zelensky is bankrupt. Zelensky is not Ukraine! It is time to put him on trial. If he cannot offer a real way out of the crisis, then it is up to us to make fateful decisions.
Zelensky thought he could rule Ukraine through force. Now he has lost.
Ukraine must decide - will it continue its freefall into the abyss, or will it begin the fight for true independence?
In the interests of full disclosure, we should note that Dubinsky was arrested in November 2023, reportedly for colluding (hah) with several other Ukrainian politicians in working with Russian intelligence to further the Hunter Biden investigation - which is likely about as legitimate as it sounds, which is not very much.
The question now is, what, if anything, will Ukraine's Parliament do?

Ukraine's top dog may not find himself at the front of the pack much longer. His display at the White House this morning had to be embarrassing to the Ukrainian people who were watching. He may well have dynamited any chance at a quick, relatively painless end to his country's war with Russia - and the Ukrainian government would be justified in trying to rein him in.
