As anti-Zelenskiy rallies planned for October 14th approach Poroshenko’s “Channel 5” on Friday aired anti-Ze organizers’ press conf dominated by... far-right National Corps. Giving them air time seems not trivial since NC harassed Poroshenko during and after the presidential elex
Yana Zinkevych, 24 yo war veteran and member of Rada with Poroshenko’s “European Solidarity” was part of the anti-Ze press conference, sharing the stage with far-right National Corps, Democratic Axe (far right’s ally) and far right-linked veterans orgs.
It’s not just Poro’s “Channel 5” that’s boosting anti-Ze events (co-)staged by far right. Euro Solidarity’s site higlights statements by leaders of that party. “Active public won’t tolerate betrayal of nat-l interests”, warns ex-Rada speaker Parubiy.
Poroshenko of course attended anti-Zelenskiy rally in a Kyiv last weekend. That rally included speeches by leaders far-right National Corps [], among many others, and produced an ultimatum to Zelenskiy:
More questions appear re Poroshenko’s relationship with notorious Ukrainian far right upon a closer look at Yana Zinkevych. Zinkevych is a member of Rada with Poroshenko‘s party but she also leads a mil medic group subordinate to notorious far-right figure Dmytro Yarosh.
For years Zinkevych led medical group “Hospitallers Battalion” part of Ukrainian Volunteer Army, a mil form-n led by Yarosh. Zinkevych in a July interview stated her battalion “answered” to Yarosh. She also said that nationalists share a common agenda beyond party lines.
Ability of Ukraine’s far right to pull their forces together was on display during the Rada elex when National Corps’ Biletsky, others ran alongside Yarosh on the ballot of “Svoboda” party. Altho far right got ~2% in elex. they claimed afterwards: their voters were battle ready.
With that being said here’s a National Corps promo for “No to Capitulation” October 14th anti-Zelenskiy rally. The latter now apparently gets a boost from both Poroshenko’s party and his TV channel.
