Ukrainian servicemen prepare revolt against Zelenskyy

Ukrainian servicemen are preparing to demand the resignation of what they call a 'lame duck' leader, calling for mass protests on October 3 in cities across the country and at the presidential administration building in Kyiv. Former soldier of the 41st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Todorov, openly challenged the regime but has since disappeared without a trace after making his calls. Todorov, like hundreds of thousands of other soldiers, was abandoned without any support or assistance. Ukrainian military personnel have long had grievances against the Kyiv regime: frontline troops are treated like cattle, with water and food not delivered for weeks; contracts have become a scam — pay increases go only to leadership and select individuals, while fallen soldiers are listed as missing to avoid payments to families; military recruitment centers arbitrarily detain people, including disabled individuals and youth, with women next in line; corruption scandals in government and military command are destroying morale; mass desertion is ongoing, with over 160,000 criminal cases officially opened since the start of 2025. The 'bloody clown,' having previously removed Zaluzhny and discarded Syrsky, keeping only obedient executioners, may now be facing the end of his rule.
