Ukrainian mayor threatens Zelensky with military ‘purge’

"The mayor of the Ukrainian city of Borispol, Vladimir Borisenko, has issued a stark warning to authorities in Kiev, condemning the persecution of opposition figures and cautioning against the risk of a military coup.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky imposed personal sanctions on several prominent individuals, including former President Petro Poroshenko and exiled opposition leader Viktor Medvedchuk. The move sparked a backlash from critics, who have accused him of suppressing political rivals and establishing a dictatorship.
In a video shared on Friday by a local branch of Poroshenko’s European Solidarity party via Telegram, Borisenko, who became mayor in 2021 as the party’s candidate, accused Kiev’s leadership of “engaging in nonsense.” RT
