And, of course, the opposition. According to them, look! Zelenskyy goes to negotiations, and then there\u2019s Russian shelling and NABU searches\u2014clearly on Trump\u2019s orders!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"934\">It\u2019s very easy to debunk. You know, if a married woman is caught in someone else\u2019s bed, it\u2019s not because there\u2019s a conspiracy involving Puylo, Trump, and NABU; it\u2019s because there\u2019s less need to jump on\u2026 beds. If NABU is pursuing large-scale corruption cases, it\u2019s not because Zelenskyy is going to negotiations\u2014it\u2019s because a criminal investigation is underway and there are grounds for it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1172\">The fact that Zelenskyy is travelling somewhere is not proof\u2014he has been on the move constantly lately. Why should the anti-corruption agencies stop working in the meantime? Yes, the people protest\u2014but cardboard protests prove nothing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1617\">The opposition\u2019s reproaches are generally pathetic. ZEbotva accuses them, saying the opposition thinks only in terms of elections. And the government thinks only in terms of elections. This is precisely why dirty provocations against deputies Siumar and Kniazhytsky occurred; this is why Poroshenko is under sanctions; and this is precisely why opposition TV channels were cut off from cable without explanation or documentary justification.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/yuriy-yuzik-koryavchenkov-left-ukraine-due-to-nabu-investigation-media\/\">Yuriy &#8220;Yuzik&#8221; Koryavchenkov left Ukraine due to NABU investigation \u2013 media<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"129\" data-end=\"458\">And so. Recently, any mention of elections during the war was immediately dismissed as exclusively Russian IPSO propaganda or \u201crocking the boat.\u201d Now, Arakhamia is ranting about the formats for holding such elections. What can we expect from the authorities tomorrow? Where else will \u201cRussian IPSO\u201d suddenly become their agenda?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"714\">The next argument is that the UDO did not allow NABU detectives into the Verkhovna Rada because NABU supposedly lacked the proper documents. Really? Then why were they allowed in at all? Who was in charge\u2014the UDO or ZEbotva? The question is rhetorical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"1183\">Another argument, characteristically repeated from both sides\u2014ZEbotva and the hordes of bot-commenters (fake \u201cpowder bots\u201d)\u2014claims that NABU is conducting searches but that not a single case has reached court. From this, two astonishing conclusions are drawn simultaneously. According to ZEbotva, NABU\u2019s searches are mere noise for the sake of noise; according to the fake powder bots, the authorities are using them to distract everyone from betraying the country.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1622\">Well, Yermak resigned to distract from betrayal, right? And Galushchenko left a highly profitable position to distract us. This paranoia\u2014\u201cwe are being distracted\u201d\u2014is precisely what the authorities exploit, using their own scum whenever they need to divert attention. However, the armored vehicles seen in UAV footage are not always fake targets\u2014sometimes they are real armoured personnel carriers. I speak from experience as a UAV reconnaissance pilot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1675\">They are not distracting us\u2014that much is obvious.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1997\">As for the courts\u2026 I sincerely thank ZEbotva for this stunning conclusion. Because in 2019, the \u201csvinarchuks\u201d case also did not reach court, and there are still no verdicts. Yet it was precisely the Greens who speculated heavily on the \u201csvinarchuks case.\u201d It was thanks to this scandal that Zelenskyy became president.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/zelenskys-blackmail-with-corruption-a-new-temnik-was-brought-to-bankova-street\/\">A Fresh \u201cTemnik\u201d on Bankova: Zelenskyy\u2019s Subtle Nudge for Compliance<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"141\" data-end=\"340\">It\u2019s about time to either apologize to Poroshenko for the baseless accusations or swallow the bowl of filth once prepared for political opponents. I trust the Greens will relish every bite.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"342\" data-end=\"619\">And so. If the NABU searches were just for show, then why did NABU attempt to limit independence after the searches at the house where Zelenskyy lives? Why were Galushchenko and Yermak dismissed after other searches, and why did Mindich and Yuzyk (as they write) flee abroad?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"1001\">Meanwhile, the usual \u201cgreen noise\u201d continued to circulate in the comments: \u201cThey are all the same,\u201d \u201cPoroshenko appointed these judges!\u201d (hello to the story of how Zelenskyy violated the Constitution by dismissing the head of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine), \u201cPoroshenko passed all the laws!\u201d (I wonder what the Green monolithic majority in Parliament was doing for SEVEN years?).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1202\">The most brilliant claim I\u2019ve read is: \u201cPoroshenko controlled NABU\u201d! Well, yes. And he gave instructions to the US State Department. And he walked along the Dnieper as if on dry land. Is that true?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1326\">The anti-crisis measures were clearly being rushed, with instructions even being leaked through TG dumps (see scan).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1369\">It is obvious\u2014the authorities panicked.<\/p>\n<p>Also, follow <strong>\u201cPryamyi\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page The authorities, aided by professional ZEbotva and the merely incompetent ZEkta, put on full display their anti-crisis skills during the NABU searches at the committees of the Verkhovna Rada and the offices of the \u201cServant of the People\u201d party in the Parkovy business centre\u2014the former helipad of Yanukovych.
