Meet Oleksandr Dubinsky the man accusing Zelenskyy for 'diplomatic failure'

The recent heated banter between Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance has become a viral topic of discussion online. Amid this significant political turmoil, a Ukrainian MP has called for Zelensky's impeachment, giving multiple reasons for his failures as a leader.
His sharp and witty criticism of Zelensky's actions has also brought up discussions about the president's handling of foreign policy and domestic issues.
Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky has demanded the impeachment of President Volodymyr Zelensky after a contentious meeting at the White House. He shared a post on X, where he harshly criticised Zelensky, describing his actions as a “diplomatic failure.”
“The events of the past hours - the public humiliation of Zelensky at the White House, Trump’s acknowledgment of Zelensky's diplomatic failure, and Ukraine’s loss of unconditional U.S. support - have marked the final act of the regime's collapse,” Dubinsky wrote. “But Zelensky has not only failed in foreign policy - he has driven the country into a state where anyone who disagrees with his course faces repression.”


Oleksandr Dubinsky has been a member of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, since 2019. The 43-year-old faced a two-month arrest in 2023 on suspicion of state treason and was also accused of spreading misinformation about Ukraine’s political leadership, according to Meduza.

In 2021, the United States imposed sanctions on Dubinsky, alleging he was part of a “Russia-linked foreign influence network” tied to fellow People’s Deputy Andrii Derkach. He was accused of interfering in the 2020 US presidential election, as reported by Reuters.

Dubinsky has called for an “emergency session of the Ukrainian Parliament” to initiate impeachment proceedings against Zelensky. He cited several reasons for this drastic decision.

Firstly, Dubinsky argues that Zelensky's foreign policy has led to Ukraine's international isolation and the loss of allied support. He cites the ongoing conflict and its disastrous outcomes to Zelensky's incompetent leadership and poor decision-making. Dubinsky also accuses Zelensky of violating citizens' rights by usurping power, suppressing opposition, persecuting dissenters, and ruling in an authoritarian manner.
Dubinsky urged his fellow Members of Parliament and wrote, “I appeal to all Members of the Ukrainian Parliament: stop wasting time, stop waiting! Zelensky is bankrupt. Zelensky is not Ukraine ! It is time to put him on trial. If he cannot offer a real way out of the crisis, then it is up to us to make fateful decisions.
Zelensky thought he could rule Ukraine through force. Now he has lost.
Ukraine must decide - will it continue its freefall into the abyss, or will it begin the fight for true independence?”
