    Ukraine’s Zelensky alleges Russia plotting coup against him for next week
    By David L. Stern

    KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted Friday that a group of Russians and Ukrainians planned to attempt a coup in Ukraine next month and that the plotters tried to enlist the help of the country’s richest man, Rinat Akhmetov.


    Zelensky, speaking at a “press marathon” for local and international media, said that audio recordings, obtained by Ukraine’s security services, caught plotters discussing their plans and mentioning Akhmetov’s name.

    Akhmetov was not involved in the purported coup plot, however, Zelensky said.

    The president offered no other details, however, leaving many questions about his motives for making the allegations public and what possible actions authorities have taken.

    Akhmetov, a mining and steel tycoon, also owns media holdings, which in recent weeks have increased their criticism of Zelensky and his administration.

    The Ukrainians tend to be a bit paranoid and unsophisticated, don't accuse them of being pro-Kremlin.

  5. After being invaded by Russia in 2014, loosing Crimea to Russia, as well as tens of thousands of its men in this war, Ukrainians are justified to be bit "paranoid", dont you think?

    Here's our main man @thecoder ridiculing the western world and praising Russia and China whilst living in a western country, enjoying all the benefits and writing on a western website. Back in Russia if he did the same (criticize Putin), he'd be laying in a puddle of blood on the street somewhere after a mysterious gunman "randomly" shot him.
    He will never understand how ridiculous his positions are.

    Hey d08, you can't understand it b/c you are just a newly western one. I OTOH was born in the western world and lived my whole life in this western world.
    In Russia and China I would of course behave a little bit different than in the West, that's true.
    I just adapt to the prevailing conditions of the society I'm in.
    I'm making use of my right, up to the limit, maybe even stressing it.

    So, I'm a Westerner through and through, and you brainwashed Ex-Commie-Idiot just shut up, since you can't teach me anything in these matters! :)

    So defending a system that you've never experienced makes you right, sound logic. Ex-commie implies someone voluntarily joined the communist party, I was not even 10 when SU collapsed. Do more reading, less talking.

    @d08, FYI:
    Mine is a subtile critique of the West, especially the US, as I find its politics against other countries, esp. against the other superpowers China and Russia, as well some other countries, is totally wrong.
    And I take that right of mine to critique it, even very strongly, as these idiots with their reckless politics in Washington are playing with our lifes, even of the whole mankind.
    The goal is of course to influence these idiots so that they change course.

    But I'm afraid, you as someone from an ex-Commi country can't understand what I do, nor feel the feeling, as you lack such experience. You know, your low HDI etc... :)
