Ukraine: “Finishing” President Zelensky

Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist Seymour Hearst reported the news: Russia and Ukraine are negotiating peace. No, these are not negotiations between Presidents Putin and Zelensky, but between the Chiefs of the General Staff, Generals Gennady Gerasimov and Valery Zalozny.

According to the well-informed American journalist, the two generals are already discussing defining the boundaries of the front lines and ceding territory to the Russians in exchange for Moscow’s concession to annex Kiev. In NATOBut without transferring offensive weapons to Ukrainian territory. The Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Army even dared to admit in an interview with The Economist that “Ukraine is now stuck in a long war in which Russia has the advantage.”

Information received from Kiev indicates that the generals’ dialogue has begun despite his objections President Zelensky, who completely “surpassed” Valery Zalozny, as Ukrainska Pravda reveals. “Instead of communicating directly with Supreme Commander Zalozny, the Ukrainian president maintains parallel lines of communication with the heads of some military branches, such as the Commander of the Ground Forces Oleksandr Sirsky or the Commander of the Ukrainian Air Forces Mykola Olchuk,” the newspaper claims.

“There is an impression that Zelensky has divided the armed forces into two groups: the ‘good’ group led by Sersky, and the ‘bad’ group under Zalozhny,” Ukrainska Pravda noted, citing sources in the inner circle of the Ukrainian Supreme Leader. . Recently, Zelensky fired the head of the special forces, Viktor Khorenko, without informing Zalozhny or Khorenko himself. On the same days, Zaluzny’s trusted advisor Gennady Khastyakov was killed on his birthday, by a bomb exploding among the gifts.

End of US aid?

The bad news for President Zelensky does not stop here: the Ukrainian president is increasingly losing focus at home. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said: “We have to expect bad news from Ukraine.”

Meanwhile, the US Congress informed the White House that “resources have been exhausted by the end of the year to give more weapons to Ukraine as well.”

The US Department of Defense has already used up to 97% of funds approved for Ukraine. Funds for economic aid to the country have already stopped flowing to Kiev.

Ukraine: Blinken claims he has no NATO fatigue, and Zelensky looks to Trump

Indeed, the Ukrainian president, in a desperate attempt, will go today via video conference to members of the US Senate to persuade them not to close the “canal” in front of Kiev, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced. The Foreign Minister will also participate in the briefing Anthony Blinken Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

No success on the front

Zelensky’s call for another round of US military aid comes a day before the Senate votes on legislation for a $106 billion emergency foreign aid package, which includes more than $61 billion for Ukraine. However, many members of Congress believe that Kiev no longer has any chance of winning warAs a result, a way out is sought.

After all, since the beginning of history, Ukraine has lost more territory than it has regained on the front line, French magazine Le Temps writes. “From early June to mid-October, Kiev forces failed to break through the famous Surovikin Line or break the land bridge connecting Russia to Crimea. Much of the arsenal provided by NATO has been destroyed in recent months. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed for some Villages that have now returned to the hands of Russian invaders.

The knives came out

Knives have already appeared in Kiev: the mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitali Klitschko, accused Zelensky that although the war is completely at a stalemate, he continues to deny it. “The counterattack was not as successful as it was intended, and may never have begun, with 800,000 men serving in the army, but that was not enough. Some underestimated the Russians’ willingness to sacrifice their soldiers, but woe to the president. Klitschko said in an interview with the Swiss newspaper: “People wonder why we were not better prepared for this war, why Zelensky denied until the end that this was happening, or how the Russians were able to reach Kiev so quickly.” “20 minutes”.

But Der Spiegel also condemns Zelensky for authoritarianism: “Ukraine is moving towards authoritarianism. What is the difference with Russia if everything depends on the whim of one man?” asks the German magazine.

Regardless of how it ends, Zelensky has already placed his political future in Taraba. All indications are that the phase has begun, where Zelensky will no longer lead the country, but someone else. The name of Oleksiy Aristofiy, former advisor to the Ukrainian president, is heard, who recently launched a “fierce attack” against Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him, among other things, a “dictator” “responsible for major corruption scandals in Ukraine.” particularly.
