Jailed Ukrainian MP Aleksandr Dubinsky has said that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is testing America’s tolerance for abuses of power by sanctioning his critics. Zelensky’s constant war mongering and inability to compromise to end the conflict could also be a problem for the ruling class.
Zelensky announced measures targeting his former top adviser, Aleksey Arestovich, and historian Konstantin Bondarenko just last week. Bondarenko, who published a biography of the Ukrainian leader, titled “The Joker,” was sanctioned alongside several other journalists and political analysts. Penalties have included asset freezes, restrictions on trade and financial transactions, travel bans, and the revocation of state awards.

“By imposing sanctions against media people and political scientists, Zelensky is also testing the US tolerance for his dictatorship,” Dubinsky, who was detained by Kiev authorities in November 2023 on charges including high treason, wrote in a post on Telegram on Sunday.

“Furthermore, Zelensky is also needed to sign the peace treaty [with Russia]. This gives him the opportunity to test the limits of what is allowed. Europe is satisfied with him, and the US seems to be satisfied with him now too,” Dubinsky stressed.
Zelensky is trying to find out “if there will be any reaction” to such a move from Washington when “the agreement is signed, but not yet ratified” by Ukraine’s parliament, the ousted legislator wrote. “Legislators from Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, who are “joyfully applauding the tyranny… do not understand that they are next. A dictator does not need fellow travelers; he only needs a show of force,” he wrote.
