Far-right, nationalist organizers taking credit for October 14 rallies in Kyiv: Issue a 10-day ultimatum to Zelenskiy; warn of “political collapse of the government”, “social explosion that will sweep them [goverment] away” -while ex-President Poroshenko’s party embraces protests
One group taking credit for protests- “Defend Ukraine - Resistance to Capitulation Movement”-warns of “large scale protests and political collapse of the government”& “social explosion that will sweep them [goverment] away” if Zelenskiy moves towards “peace at the expense of 🇺🇦”.
Post rallies leader of far-right National Corps Biletsky issues a 10-day ultimatum to Zelenskiy: “If all DEMANDS aren’t GRANTED via LEGISLATION [...]marching is over”. Biletsky threatens “civil resistance” to “force the gov. to do what the nation wants[...] the final victory”.
Regarding escalating rhetoric from anti-Ze organizers& co: Unlike Zelenskiy they’re not backed by landslide victories in elections. Voters rejected ALL of them- they claim legitimacy (and deny it to Ze) based on polls that suggest that Ze failed to explain his peace moves.
Far-right, nationalist org-rs taking credit for rallies& issuing ultimatums, warnings to Zelenskiy do so against backdrop of bizarre moves by Ze, PM Honcharuk that legitimize groups (incl Ze’s opponents) described as ”extremists” by @freedomhouse “hate groups” by @StateDept
October 14th rallies in Kyiv - that resulted in threats, warnings to Zelenskiy from org-rs taking credit for protests - were joined and boosted by Poroshenko’s party “European Solidarity” while days earlier Poroshenko’s “Channel 5” gave air time to far-right National Corps.
