“The American scenario is clear - remove Zelensky and conclude peace, which will give Trump the necessary points for the elections to be held this fall.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is a direct quote from a TASS report attributing the statement to a specific movement's website. No other independent news sources or authoritative references corroborate that this is an actual U.S. government 'scenario' or policy; it is presented as an opinion or allegation by a specific actor.

“The European scenario... is to strip Zelensky of all power and govern the country through European-appointed individuals.”
SINGLE SOURCE
Similar to claim 1, this appears to be part of a specific narrative or allegation. While web results mention EU tensions regarding corruption and laws, there is no corroborating evidence from multiple independent sources that the EU has a formal 'scenario' to strip Zelensky of power and appoint its own governors.

“the war party is in power in Ukraine”
SINGLE SOURCE
The term 'war party' is a subjective political characterization/label rather than a factual entity. While evidence confirms Ukraine is in a state of war and receiving military aid, the claim that a specific 'war party' holds power is an opinion-based framing that cannot be verified as a factual objective truth.
