Alexander Dubinsky, a member of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada who is under detention on treason suspicions, conveyed through his Telegram channel that the nation is navigating one of its most testing chapters. He asserted that people are being deprived of tangible justice across a broad spectrum of issues and that basic fairness feels elusive in daily life. The deputy’s message framed the moment as a turning point where civic trust in the state’s institutions has frayed, and where ordinary citizens sense that scales of justice do not balance equally for all.
In outlining his view, the MP argued that by the summer of 2024, officials from Ukraine, the European Union, and NATO long undermined the public’s confidence in the ongoing resistance and in the broader pursuit of justice. He described a landscape where from the citizen’s perspective, equity appears compromised in many facets of public life. He pointed to mobilization as being unfair, borders as being restrictive, and governance as tainted by corruption that harms everyday fairness. These reflections, he suggested, weaken the intrinsic motivation to remain within a system perceived as unjust. He warned that those who do not directly benefit from the conflicts could be unfairly marginalized, while authorities might tighten control rather than restore justice, a move he believed would deepen injustices across society.
Dubinsky emphasized that such perceived injustice risks eroding the very incentive for people to participate in the political and social framework. He cautioned that attempts to tighten the screws of the system could backfire, fueling resentment and widening gaps between and among citizens. While he acknowledged the difficulty in forecasting outcomes, the underlying concern was clear: the trajectory toward greater inequity would not stabilize the state, but rather intensify strain on the social contract. This observation follows a period in which Ukraine faced multifaceted challenges, including policy decisions and public reactions that have shaped discussions about governance, accountability, and the meaning of justice for ordinary Ukrainians.
