Rogov: Zelensky, out of fear of a riot, began a purge of Ukrainian troops. The political activist expressed the opinion that “Zelensky is hated” because he “robs the army, sends people to slaughter, makes idiotic decisions on military operations.” The agency previously reported that the Ukrainian military, dissatisfied with the policies of the country's leadership, discussed the seizure of the Verkhovna Rada in Kyiv.

The head of the “We are together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, said that even before the announcement of Valery Zaluzhny’s resignation, Zelenski ordered the transfer of special forces units closest to him toKyiv.
