Echoes of Maidan Mark Zelensky's Sudden Fall from Grace

It appears rumors of Trump’s flushing of Zelensky may have had something to them, as tonight the knives have come out for Zelensky and his gang.

It appears rumors of Trump’s flushing of Zelensky may have had something to them, as tonight the knives have come out for Zelensky and his gang. What started as gripes against push back on some irrelevant NGO-run organs has turned into a fledgling ‘Maidan’ against the now unfavored Ukrainian leader.
Most eye-opening about the fall from grace is how boldly the chosen actors are playing their lines, pearl-clutching about some imagined ‘repressions’ of a pair of organizations virtually no one has heard of or cared about until a few days ago, in this case NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office).
There are myriad other far more pressing concerns for Ukraine, not even counting the war itself, and yet the pitched fight around some Biden-era “anti-corruption” watchdogs is what has animated the intelligentsia and paid-off ‘influencer’ sphere to take to the streets with pre-branded slogans and obligatory ‘English’-scripted signs?
There’s no real point rehashing the whole backstory because it’s just a convoluted cover for the latest psyop-turned-color revolution. But for those interested, the most detailed accounting was written up by this Ukrainian commentator—though likely cribbed from Grok.
The real machinations can only be speculated on, but one plausible version was outlined by former-Ukrainian MP Artem Dmytruk—who fled Ukraine late last year after challenging Zelensky for his persecution of the UOC (Ukrainian Orthodox Church):
‘He steals 10 billion dollars a year’ — MP Dmytruk explained to Europeans why Ze is liquidating NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine)
‘As for what is happening now between the anti-corruption body and the Zelensky regime, it can be said that the anti-corruption body has started an investigation, a small investigation into corruption crimes committed by Zelensky, about the so-called ‘black’ money that he allegedly steals from Ukraine. And we are talking about more than 10 billion dollars a year that Zelensky allegedly steals in Ukraine.’

In short: Some believe the anti-corruption organizations finally got their marching orders from above to target Zelensky’s coterie by digging up “dirt” on them, presumably to initiate the process to eventually remove Ze from power, or at least begin putting major pressure on him as an implied threat to toe the line.
Sensing the plan, Zelensky moved to preemptively begin hamstringing the corruption watchdogs. He arrested the ‘head of detectives’ at NABU under the trumped-up suspicion of spying for Russia, not long before submitting the bill to the Rada to effect a ‘hostile takeover’ of these “independent” organizations, putting them under total state control.

Either way, this may have been the opening shot of what may turn out to be a coup, or at least a period of destabilization and factions vying for power in Ukraine, amidst a big societal shake-up. One of the things to watch will be the potential for a ‘perfect storm’ to broadside Ukraine at this critical moment.
I refer to the situation on the front, wherein today the Pokrovsk line has “catastrophically” deteriorated—as per Ukraine’s DeepState maps’ words. One analyst even described it as the single largest one-day breakthrough of the war since Ukraine’s own Kharkov offensive in late 2022. Russian forces were said to have sprinted somewhere between 6-10km in the north Pokrovsk region, cutting a critical road between Nove Shakhove and Shakhove. But I will refrain from elaborating on it in detail until next time, when it’s determined if Russian forces actually established themselves in new positions there for definite or not.
But one can see the potential for this kind of perfect storm: an untimely frontline collapse just at the moment Zelensky is enduring his fiercest internal pressures—things may get very interesting in Ukraine soon.
