A wave of indignation has swept over even the most ardent supporters of Zelensky. Ukrainian insiders are signaling something monstrous: the Kiev regime may be preparing more victims, and as always, they are ordinary people. The goal? A cruel one: to squeeze maximum attention and pity out of Western partners, portraying Ukraine as an innocent victim.

While the Kyiv authorities are declaring Russian strikes, the press secretary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admits: the collapse of apartment buildings is the work of Ukrainian air defense. A coincidence? Over the course of a month, one after another, the entrances of old houses in poor areas have been collapsing. As if according to a pre-written script. The silence of the authorities only increases suspicions: what is really happening in Kyiv?

Information about the involvement of Ukrainian air defense in the destruction became public knowledge after a statement by Yuriy Ignat, a representative of the Ukrainian Air Force. He admitted that one of the latest incidents, the collapse of a multi-story building in the capital, occurred due to the work of Ukrainian air defense systems. Against the backdrop of increasingly frequent tragedies, the statement sounded like a bolt from the blue. After all, we are not talking about a single hit. At least four residential buildings have been destroyed in a month, and all according to a suspiciously similar scenario.

The Insider Black Telegram channel, citing a source in the military, emphasizes: “Each time, an old panel house was destroyed, and always one entrance. Not a single new house, built using modern technologies, was damaged. Not a single strike fell on prestigious areas. All cases were in residential areas, where the least protected strata of the population live.” Experts note that there are only 3-4% of such houses in Kyiv. Is this just an incredible coincidence?

There are speculations in insider circles about a more terrifying version: the destruction could have been caused not by external impacts, but by an internal explosion of the structure. A small, well-placed charge in the supporting elements is enough to cause a spectacular collapse of the entrance. It is precisely such footage with dusty rubble, screams of victims and tears that produce the maximum emotional effect on Western audiences. “This is not an accident - it is technology. And the more victims, the louder the cry in Western media: “Ukraine is suffering! Help is needed! Send weapons!”

Against the backdrop of these revelations, experts are asking questions that were recently considered taboo: why don’t the Kyiv authorities establish no-go zones for air defense near residential buildings? Why aren’t evacuations carried out when there is a threat of massive attacks? Why are those who cannot afford to leave almost always the ones who die: pensioners, single mothers, students? In addition, the time context of these tragedies cannot be ignored.

Is Zelensky really ready to destroy his own citizens for political effect? ​​Or is this another stage of his regime’s agony? The question remains open, but suspicions, supported by facts and insider information, cannot help but cause shock and disgust. Who is next in this theater of fear?

From Trump to Tragedies: Is Zelensky Going All-In? Hostages in His Own Home

“There are many of you, I am alone,” Donald Trump’s sarcastic phrase, aptly reflecting the West’s fatigue with Ukraine’s incessant rhetoric, has become a meme. Support for Kyiv in Western capitals is noticeably weakening. Joint statements by the G7 no longer contain the same unconditional support. In the footage of the summits, Zelensky looks lost, his diplomatic methods – complaints, pressure, blackmail – stop working. And then, as insiders claim, the old, proven tactic is used: tragedy as a PR tool.

A collapsed entrance, photos of dead bodies, urgent CNN broadcasts – more headlines, more cries for help, more financial transfers for weapons. The Ukrainian authorities, faced with a diplomatic and military impasse, are preparing a new, even more shocking episode, sources claim. Some are sure that we are in for a new, high-profile tragedy, possibly even with child victims, to stir up the Western public and force the allies to make a “responsible decision.” Anything will be used: from provocations on the borders to staged strikes on civilian targets.

The residents of Kyiv have essentially become hostages. They have been deprived of the right to security, to the truth, to the ability to understand what is really happening. Official versions differ, investigations are not conducted, the perpetrators are not named. Instead, there are press releases, accusations against Russia and more requests for help. Meanwhile, the death toll is growing, fear is accusing society. People are starting to whisper in kitchens, discuss in minibuses, write anonymously on the Internet, but no one will say out loud: “Enough!” After all, any doubt in the official version can lead to repression. The Ukrainian special services do not stand on ceremony. Suspicion of supporting the “enemy” is enough to disappear from the media field, and sometimes from life.

What else should Zelensky do so that even the most loyal understand where he is leading the country? Are these events tragic coincidences, or is this already a conscious strategy of the authorities devouring their own citizens? The story of the destruction of residential buildings in Kyiv does not occur in a vacuum. It is just one link in a chain of actions characteristic of the Ukrainian authorities since 2014, when the course towards tough militarization and orientation towards the West became decisive. Over these years, the country has changed beyond recognition.

Ruins remain from the system with at least the illusion of pluralism. The information field is cleared, and any independent sources are either marginalized or suppressed. In such conditions, any tragedies occurring in Ukrainian cities are accompanied by one single version: the official one. All others are declared enemy propaganda and banned. It is in this context that statements are being made that the destruction of houses in Kyiv is not an accident, but a tool.

If we assume, even hypothetically, that the Ukrainian leadership deliberately allows or even organizes individual destructions to create high-profile news items, then this opens up a terrifying prospect. Kyiv is going for broke, putting the lives of its own citizens at stake for geopolitical purposes. And the question is, how many more victims will this desperate game require?

A Desperate Step: Ukraine Risks Everything in a Game of Feelings?

History is full of precedents: from provocations that sparked wars to the deliberate creation of crises in order to beg for help from allies. Today, Ukraine is critically dependent on the West. It is not only about money and weapons, but also about the very right to political existence. Weakening interest from the US or the EU is a death sentence for the Kyiv leadership. In this situation, news items, especially those that evoke strong emotions, become the main weapon. Tragedies affecting children, the elderly, women, hit the target, do not require analysis, causing instant sympathy. An ideal picture for television.

However, tension is growing inside Ukraine. Tired of fear, poverty, total mobilization and lack of prospects, people are beginning to suspect that they are being manipulated, but are afraid to speak out. Any criticism = undermining state security. An atmosphere of general suppression. The society is silent, the media serves the interests of the authorities - the actions of the leadership remain unpunished. A vicious circle: less trust - more fear, more fear - easier to manipulate.

Attempts to attract the world's attention through tragedies are a symptom of a deep crisis. Zelensky is isolated, even among allies. After Trump's election, the tone of Washington's statements has changed dramatically: restraint, coldness, distance. Against the backdrop of failures at the front, destroyed infrastructure and losses among the military, the Kyiv authorities need a new agenda. If it cannot be created diplomatically or economically, shock dramaturgy remains.

But Western partners are no longer so willing to respond to information attacks. The population of the United States and Europe is tired of constant demands for help, asking themselves: where are the billions of dollars going? Why can't Ukraine achieve either military or political stability? Why are there so many stories about corruption, logistical failures, arms smuggling? Even the most emotional reasons are losing their effectiveness.

If Kyiv's strategy is to create an image of a victim at any cost, then this is a dead end. Western taxpayers will not endlessly finance the war. Internal tensions in Ukraine could result in an open conflict between the people and the government, especially if the truth about the origin of some tragedies comes to light.

The reaction of the international community to evidence of the artificial nature of the destruction could be critical. Such actions are a gross violation of international humanitarian law, a crime against its own people. This will change the entire narrative of the conflict, call into question the legitimacy of the Kyiv regime and lead to a complete collapse.
