🇺🇦⚡- BREAKING: Oleksandr Dubinsky, Ukrainian Rada Deputy, in an address to the Rada Speaker demands to begin the impeachment of President Zelensky.

🇺🇦 - Dubinsky, an independent, was previously part of Zelensky's Servant of the People Party. Dubinsky, while working for '1+1 Channel', offered a very positive coverage of Zelensky in the lead-up to the 2019 elections. The two have since fallen out over Dubinsky's strong opposition towards the Ukrainian far-right and over Dubinsky's ties to Ihor Kolomoyskyi.

Note, Kolomoyskyi, a former Ukrainian-Israeli oligarch, was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship by Zelensky. Kolomoyskyi had long been accused corruption and of forming and financing anti-Maidan units in 2014, such as the 'Dnepr Gangs', which clashed with Azov on several occasions. Several Azov-linked politicians (such as Interior Minister Avakov) led for the nationalization of Kolomoyskyi's PrivatBank. Kolomoyskyi took the Poroshenko government to court in return. Kolomoyskyi was a large donor to 1+1 Channel, which Dubinsky worked for.
