How Ukraine protects its president and the government against coups | DW News

Four people have been arrested after Ukraine's security service says it has foiled a Russian-backed coup attempt.
The domestic intelligence agency revealed that a group of conspirators had plotted to start a riot, storm the parliament building and replace the leadership on Sunday during Constitution Day celebrations. Kyiv claims it has been the target of several coup plots over the last few years.

Zelensky should lead Ukraine from frontline. Someone older can replace him at the office

[@zacharymalone9901]

If he's out on the front line who will lead the charge in the geopolitical frontline? Zelensky himself is arguably the most valuable chess piece in the Ukrainian Army. No one else like he can can unite his country and can unite his allies for critical armament support. The only reason why Ukrainians are as well armed as they are is because of Zelensky. It would have been very likely that without zelenski's leadership, Ukraine would have fallen by now due to a lack of ammunition.
