Fact-Check
To determine the reality of the above viral video, the DFRAC team converted it into some keyframes and reverse-searched it on Google. Meanwhile, we found this video on a YouTube Channel named World News with the caption: “Return Zaluzhny” protest is taking place on the Maidan in Kyiv”.

In addition to that, media reports from USA Today and The New York Times confirmed that President Zelensky of Ukraine recently removed his top general as part of a sweeping overhaul of his military command.

Conclusion
It is evident from DFRAC’s Fact-check that the viral video claiming Protesters in Kyiv demanded the resignation of Zelenskyy is misleading as the protest demanded the return of Zaluzhny, not Zelensky’s resignation.
