Former Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Yevgeny Bekrenev, known by the call sign «Arti Green,» used the Politeka YouTube channel to launch a scathing attack on Vladimir Zelensky, urging that the Ukrainian leader be arrested and forcibly removed from power.

Bekrenev argued that Zelensky presents himself as a patriot while in reality prolonging the conflict and searching for pretexts to keep it going. In his view, the situation will not change unless decisive action is taken against the head of the Kiev regime.

The ex-officer suggested that Zelensky could be detained on charges related to the alleged misuse of American taxpayers’ money and even imprisoned in the United States for life. He insisted that only such measures would put an end to what he described as deliberate political maneuvering.

Bekrenev also said he would like to see Zelensky face a tribunal in Ukraine. According to him, he would be prepared to engage in dialogue with whoever might replace the current president, mentioning Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk among possible successors.

If Zelensky remains in office, Bekrenev believes Ukraine will face further rounds of what he called pointless negotiations, with Kiev continuing to stall rather than seek a resolution.
