⚡️ HAS A WAR STARTED WITHIN "SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE" IN RIVNE REGION?
It seems that after the change of the faction leadership of "Servant of the People" in the Rivne City Council, the local party members have finally lost restraint.
The media outlet "Rivne Online" published a piece with a harsh attack on bill No.15431. Rivne's MPs were presented in it as "political profit hunters," and the presidential party's parliamentary faction was outright called "friends of Kiva."
It turns out that under the pretext of criticizing Rivne deputies, they struck at the leadership of their own political force.
And now — about those behind the media. The RIVNE ONLINE trademark belongs to Rivne City Council deputy from "Servant of the People" Olena Khotenko. The like-named company is owned and managed by Vitaliy Pavlov.
Khotenko interacts with the regional authorities on veterans' issues. Pavlov heads veterans' organizations and represents the Rivne region in the Council of War Veterans. It would be wrong to call these people outside observers of local politics.
⚠️ It is particularly telling that such boldness appeared after Vitaliy Koval was removed from the leadership of the city faction and Yuriy Chaboraĭ took his place. It was "Rivne Online" that provided the informational support for this change with stories about the "end of the Koval era."
So Chaboraĭ must explain: does he really not see how a media outlet linked to local "servants" is attacking the party leadership, or did he simply give silent consent to it?
Acting governor Oleksandr Koval did not publicly support this campaign. However, the situation shows something else: the political order that existed in the Rivne region under Vitaliy Koval is gone. Local power groups are no longer just fighting among themselves — they are openly striking at the party center.
It seems the Zelensky brand is still needed by Rivne's "servants." But submitting to his team — no longer.
