The Living Force
On Sunday (5-24) a rally was held in Kyiv by a group calling themselves the Resistance to Surrender Movement. I sense this rally was organized by "outside influences", reminiscent of the activities against Yanukovych - to force him out of Office because "he dared" to have communication with Russia. The list "of demands" this group is actively promoting, is to foster anger against Zelensky and pressure him to step aside. There have been several instances where there has been Prisoner exchanges between Ukraine and Russia but other then that - this Movement wants Zelensky to have "no contact" with Russia. This Movement might be tied in with Biden (who has secrets to hide) and the forthcoming U.S. Presidential election in November? Several investigations are on-going involving Biden and his Son, Hunter and money laundering.

Participants in the event were holding national flags, however, one could see the flags of such parties and public organizations as the National Corps, Demokratychna Sokyra ("Democratic Axe"), Prava Sprava (the "Right Thing"), and there were several red and black flags, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
Ending the policy of surrender to Russia was one of the main demands of the rally.
"Negotiations with Moscow could only concern the issues that the invader should leave the occupied territories as soon as possible without any conditions and compensate for the damage done to Ukraine," they emphasized.
Also, protesters demanded that Zelensky release "groundlessly detained Maidan activists, military and civil volunteers and put an end to the political persecution of patriots."
"[Viktor] Medvedchuk, [Andriy] Portnov, and other traitors rather than Ukrainian patriots should be in prison," they said.

Entire police unit disbanded in Kyiv region after two cops arrested on rape, assault charges
Two policemen of the Kaharlyk police unit in Kyiv region were put into custody after a local woman pressed rape and assault charges against them, which also led to the disbanding of the entire unit by National Police leadership.
On May 24, a woman, 26, reported to a hospital in Kaharlyk, stating that she had been beaten up and raped at a police station and that the policemen were involved.
The investigation was immediately launched by the National Police's internal security department. Preliminary checks revealed evidence confirming the report filed by the woman who had earlier been brought to the Kaharlyk station to be interviewed in a theft case.
The policemen implicated in committing the crime have been put into custody. Further probe was entrusted to the State Bureau of Investigation, in line with jurisdiction.
Chairman of the National Police, Ihor Klymenko, fired the two policemen, removed the Kaharlyk unit's chiefs, and decided to disband the entire unit, appointing snap qualification assessment of all personnel.

Ukrainian workers start returning to Poland as lockdown eases
CHERNYAKHIV, Ukraine - The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted the flow of migrants including in Poland, where 1-2 million Ukrainians help plug labour shortages in industries such as construction and farming.
Workers have their temperatures taken at Kiev’s Boryspil airport before departure, and are issued masks. On arrival, they are put in quarantine for two weeks in hostels or rented apartments provided by the employment agency that recruited them, Gremi Personal.
For Ukraine, such workers have been a valuable source of foreign exchange. Ukrainians earned $12.9 billion in remittances last year, or 7.8% of economic output. But that source of income dried up in March, when tens of thousands of workers streamed home before both countries shut their borders.
Lockdown measures in Ukraine are expected to push the country into a sharp recession, with many businesses either shut or operating with restrictions.

Other requirements included calls to "stop sabotage of Euro-Atlantic integration and resume Ukraine's rapprochement with NATO and the EU; remove oligarchs from government; immediately dismiss Andriy Yermak from the post of the head of the Presidential Office and other "senior collaborators and corrupt officials."
They also demanded that relatives, people who previously worked on Zelensky's comedy program 'Studio Kvartal 95,' and ex-president Viktor Yanukovych's "minions" should not be appointed to high government posts.
"All appointments should be the result of honest, transparent competitions, explicit Russia advocates should be expelled from the Servant of the People parliamentary faction," says the list of the protesters' demands.
In addition, they called on Zelensky to "end the creeping usurpation of power and systematic violations of the Constitution."
The people who gathered on Kyiv's Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) said that "Zelensky was confidently moving along the path of surrender, lies and betrayal. He stubbornly follows the path of Yanukovych. This guarantees him the inglorious and early termination of powers."
The rally was organized by the Resistance to Surrender Movement, which called on Ukrainians to come to Kyiv's Independence Square and to local administrations in other district and regional centers on May 24 to express disagreement with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky's policy.
About 500 people took part in the event.
