Classic cases of “they first came for” & witch-hunters becoming witch hunted: #Zelensky accuses Akhmetov of involvement in imminent coup plot with #Russia, while Akhmetov’s & Poroshenko’s proxies accuse head of Office of President of #Ukraine & his deputy of being #Russian agents
All of them supported #Zelensky witch hunt against opposition parties’ leaders on trumped-up charges of state treason on behalf of #Russia. Confrontation between Zelensky & oligarchs, who control TV, suggests real possibility that he might be overthrown before end of presidency.
I noted in my TV interview before his confrontation with Akhemtov, whose TV channels now turned against Zelensky: #Zelensky became president of #Ukraine because of support from oligarchs & their TV channels. Lose of such support would lead to further drop of his popularity.
Coup plot claim by #Zelensky looks like fake news launched in confrontation with Akhmetov. Many people continue to take fake claims by #Zelensky & other politicians in #Ukraine at face value even after their numerous previous claims were exposed as fakes.

One of alleged organizers of coup against #Zelensky on December 1-2 in interview to #Ukrainian media denies involvement in supposed coup & contacts with Akhmetov & says that he lives in Kyiv. He was not even interrogated by law enforcement in #Ukraine.

#Zelensky claim that coup is organized with #Russian security services & Akhmetov involvement on December 1-2 using protest actions apparently refers to protest actions planned for Dec 1 by Movement against Capitulation & Democratic Axe that are linked to Poroshenko & far right.
Movement against Capitulation & Democratic Axe that are linked to Poroshenko & far right demand that #Zelensky fire head of Office of President of #Ukraine as "Russian agent" and call “state treason” any negotiations with #Russia and peaceful resolution of civil war in #Donbas.
Dec 1 is anniversary of violent attempt to seize presidential administration by far-right, including neo-Nazi, & other Maidan protesters during #Maidan. This qualifies as coup attempt. They then were also called Russian provocateurs by Poroshenko & media. researchgate.net/publication/33…
