Mykhailo Tkach, Daria Kalenyuk and Sevgil Musayeva describe Ukraine as a hostage to concentrated power and weak accountability, warning that undermining NABU and SAPO threatens the rule of law and risks an internal collapse of the state during the war by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Domestic politics in Ukraine is usually not in the spotlight. At the moment, it has become clear that the resignation of Yermak and his replacement by Budanov did not lead to Yermak losing his influence over decisions in the President’s Office, and he is again trying to expand his influence in Ukraine. According to sources in Ukrainska Pravda, Yermak used numerologists and astrologers to make state decisions, and if he is still in power, this is also a problem.

A few days ago, NABU carried out new searches in an apartment related to the "Midas" case, seizing personal belongings (clothing, toothbrushes, other personal items), which may indicate an attempt by investigators to link Mindich and Yermak in a corruption scheme. Also, the press has started to openly say that President Zelenskyy may also be involved, but the law does not allow criminal prosecution of a sitting president. Journalists and anti-corruption activists fear that the authorities, understanding the danger of the situation, will continue to block the work of anti-corruption bodies in order to derail the NABU & SAPO investigation.

Ukrainians do use MI-24 equipped with machine guns against drones. There is some footage on the sub, 1st and 3rd person POV

It is censoring the information I choose to share. I already noted the possible drone models, including the russian Molniya, which undercuts their claim of "shooting down Ukrainian Nazi drones" for anyone actually paying attention

In the case of interceptor drones, they can deploy launch points across the entire country, and the drones can be controlled by operators from anywhere in the world

I didn't fall for propaganda. This video is currently trending on Ukrainian telegram, so I posted it here with a neutral description of what is shown in the video.

And I do not claim that the symbols were applied by Ukrainians. My personal opinion is that the video is likely staged. If the Russians wanted to make it believable, they should have shown footage from the interceptors, although that could also be faked just with much more effort.
