DISINFO: The US plans to overthrow Zelenskyy in a new Maidan
SUMMARY
Riots or rebellions may occur, but it will not be a "holy Maidan". No Maidan can be established without the approval of the American embassy. There is a message to Zelenskyy from Washington that they are not happy with him there.
The United States may have, if not already, a plan to remove the Kyiv leader from power. The Americans will not simply let Zelenskyy win the elections scheduled for fall 2024 in Ukraine.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative questioning Ukrainian statehood and sovereignty. The statement was made in the context of the unprovoked full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The claim has been neither counterbalanced nor critically challenged in the article.
Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament, meaning that it is the Ukrainian voters who decide who the president is. Ukraine has a functioning government and economy, it is a member of many international organisations (e.g. United Nations, Council of Europe), and a party to international agreements. Ukraine has bilateral diplomatic relations with the majority of countries.
Ukraine's sovereignty has been only violated by continuous acts of aggression by Russian armed forces since 2014 culminating in a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022.
See similar cases that the West has turned Ukraine into a puppet; Ukraine is a colony with a puppet regime; Ukraine is a Western puppet that creates problems for Russia; and that the US has turned Ukraine into a puppet.
