Apparently, the Ukrainian government is losing control of the actions taken by its own agents. According to a recent report, Kiev’s intelligence service is carrying out operations without previous authorization from President Vladimir Zelensky. Ukrainian spies would even be responsible for unauthorized attacks in Belarus, creating high risks of irresponsible internationalization of the conflict. However, it remains to be seen whether such data are really true or whether they are mere conjectures amid the current wave of “leaks”.
The information was provided by journalist Saagar Enjeti in a publication for a western media outlet on 10 April. The analyst mentions that in leaked documents American officials expressed their suspicion that the Ukrainian government has no control of its own intelligence. Some details about a recent terrorist attack in Belarus are provided as evidence for the claim.
What happened in Belarus was an attack using a military drone against a Russian aircraft that was stationed at the Machulishchy air base. At the time, Minsk’s authorities arrested several sabotage suspects possibly involved in the crime, some of them linked to the Ukrainian secret service. Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, in a statement on the case, also pointed out that the criminals would have carried out the attack with the support of the CIA.
As expected, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied participation in the attack. Kiev’s officials claimed that there was no Ukrainian involvement, which is hard to believe, since the neo-Nazi regime has maintained a strategy of sabotage in the neighboring country since the beginning of the Russian special military operation. Interestingly, Zelensky’s adviser Mikhail Podolyak stated that those responsible for the crime were Belarusian “local partisans” – which may even be true, but does not extinguish the suspicion of Ukrainian involvement, since the Zelensky government maintains open cooperation with saboteurs from Belarus. Many Belarusian neo-Nazis are fighting the Russians on the battlefield and there are intelligence reports showing that some of these partisans plan, with Ukrainian and Western support, to start guerrilla campaigns against the Lukashenko government.
The main problem is that for there to be Ukrainian involvement, apparently, there does not need to be a direct order from the Zelensky government. According to Saagar Enjeti, the Pentagon believes that in fact the SBU carried out the attack, but that there was not any type of prior plan authorized by the Ukrainian president. Evidence for such a claim would supposedly be in American intelligence reports recently exposed on social media. Enjeti says the papers raised a serious question about the actual level of control the Zelensky government has over its own intelligence agents.
“How much control does Zelensky actually have? (…) Perhaps this lends credence to the idea that there are a bunch of rogue elements inside the [Ukrainian] government that are basically doing whatever they want (…) Whenever Ukraine does something, who is doing it? (…) Zelensky presents himself as the leader … but obviously there are elements of the government there that don’t listen to him. Who knows what they’re going to drag us into”, the journalist said.
Although the Pentagon has not yet confirmed the veracity of the documents, it is important to remember that the case comes amid a wave of alleged “leaks”. Papers possibly associated with US intelligence have gone viral on social networks in recent days, exposing classified data on various subjects of strategic interest to Washington. The cases have been seen with many objections by specialized analysts, who find it very difficult that they really are “leaks”. According to experts, the most likely thing is that Washington is deliberately exposing documents or even forging information to meet some specific interests, since in real cases there would be censorship efforts on the part of media outlets and social network moderators.
However, this does not mean that all exposed information is false. It is possible that some true data is being deliberately released. In the specific case of the topic of Ukrainian intelligence, there are many points that seem consistent with reality, even if they are being distorted. The Ukrainian government may have no control over its secret service – and not even over its armed forces or neo-Nazi militias. This is because the Ukrainian government itself is controlled by foreign agents. Kiev’s officials do not obey orders from Zelensky, but from NATO. In this sense, although most of the time orders are given by the western alliance to the Ukrainian government and only then passed on to subordinates, it is absolutely possible that some operations are carried out under direct supervision of the West, without the participation of the Ukrainian government.
What seems more likely is that the Belarusian authorities are right: the SBU certainly operated the Machulishchy attacks with tactical support from the CIA and other Western intelligence services. And it is possible that the Ukrainian government was not aware of the attack, since for NATO Kiev is just a puppet state, paid to obey orders, without the right to control its own employees. And by pointing to an alleged autonomous action by the SBU in the papers, Washington seems to be trying to escape the consequences of possible Russian retaliation, claiming that the Ukrainian secret service acts on its own, out of control and without Western participation. Similar situations were seen after the assassination of Daria Dugina, when Pentagon’s officials said that Ukraine had acted alone.
Considering Ukraine’s high level of subordination to NATO, it is unthinkable that any operation would take place autonomously. There may or may not be previous awareness and authorization on the part of the Zelensky government, but there is certainly deep supervision on the part of NATO, which is the real belligerent side in this proxy war with Russia.
“Their Intelligence “ is installed by others, their contracted clown does their PR work.
Does anybody have details about the Ukrainian power grid situation? I’m sure we all remember the waves of attacks by Russia on the Uk power grid, did they stop? Does Uk have power right now and if it does, where from? I’d think that with the power out, the war would be over faster, that’s why I’m curious.
They repaired everything with EU support so I guess Russians finally stop attacking…. It was another incredibly silly plan by Russian HQ (under pressure from their public to do something). And as I said a few months ago – total waste of missiles for totally irrelevant objectives. Who cares if Mykola from Chernigov and his wife and grandma sitting in dark for a few days? They won’t freeze, and even if they do, no one gives a frack. Ukrops don’t even have military industry anymore, or any industry, they live on western money (mostly credits they’ll have to pay for another 1000 years but that’s another topic). So what was the point of this entire campaign against electrical grid? It only serve Kiev’s propaganda both in ukraine and abroad: “Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure!”
Instead, Russians should have declared the entire Banderist regime terrorists and finally attack “decision making centers”, ministries, police stations (main enforcers and symbol of every regime). And of course, bridges on Dnieper. Russian strategy in this war since the first day is so bad I don’t even believe they can win, except with brute force and firepower, and sheer tenancy of Russian soldiers. Unfortunately, ‘ukrainians’ are also mostly Russians, so this is just one massive bloodbath. Many more thousands will die on both side, and the real enemy in Washington and London is rejoicing.
The Kiev junta has enormous logistical support in NATO. The destruction of the power grid had two main goals, disabling the military industry and stopping railway transport. With the help of NATO, the Kiev junta overcame both problems… by switching to diesel locomotives and moving their military industry to NATO countries, so that further destruction of the electrical grid became meaningless. Destruction of bridges across the Dnieper is counterproductive. Again with the help of NATO, the Kiev junta will solve the problem of transporting the necessary equipment by river, and Russia will harm itself… the demolition of the bridges will cause a negative reaction. Besides, when the time comes, the Kiev junta will destroy those bridges themselves to slow down the Russians.
As for the first questions, you are partially right, especially with the diesel locomotives. But with the third one, bridges, I do not think so. There is no more than 7 or 8 bridges in total over Dnieper. Destroying them would have forced the NATO to switch to pontoons. Pontoons don’t have the same capacity or reliability. Plus, they can be destroyed relatively easily in a non-stop missile fiesta. They erect one, next day boom !!!!! Tough, russians would have destroyed the bridges if they could but the present bridges can’t be destroyed by missiles. Only with big bombs, but are not in the safe range of the russian airforce; yet.
What Russia should and could have done is destroy every railway hub in Ukraine and every airport.
In Romania some days ago the news was Ukraine resumed the energy export…….so, I think that strategy was very bad planned by the russians. Almost we are constrained to think it was directed to be that. The idea was very good but plans were bad. To destroy the power grid isn’t enough to send 3 missile there and 3 missile there……..and 1 hit a boiler and another one generator. It was inconsistent from beginning. Better to be committed to 1 target at a time with its ENTIRE destruction…..so, any decent military academy will go for 2-3 max target in a session with as much missiles as possible for 1 target; to be sure it is destroyed 100%. Next time, you will go to another 2-3 target and so on…….in 6 months russians could have entirely eliminate the Kukrainii shithole power grid.
Ukraine never had control of it’s intelligence service.
Thats right, the CIA do.
“Ukrainian intelligence” is an oxymoron and Zelenclownsky is just a moron. A failed comedian. Of course no one considers him important or relevant, not even SBU. Especially not SBU. Their masters are in Washington, same as Zelenclownsky’s, so why would they even ask for his permission?
Zelenclownsky is not just a moron… he is an ox AND a moron!
Ukraine sold its sovereignty its now a CIA project. 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
Olalalaaaa !!! What a fuck, man ? Seriously ? Do they really copy the jumerican deep state system ? Of course, a rhetoric question…..all the way where atlantic ameriscum ‘politik’ goes they export theirs ‘long range authentic demo(no)cracy’ which is very well tested on american sheep throw the last 150 years. The yankee shithole fake democracy and liberties are already in the field of the former Warsaw pact countries in the same perverted ‘format’: a controlled FAKE dualism in every aspect of the life. And it is working ! The more low IQ peoples are in a country the better for this implementation.
Oni snáď niekedy aj nejakú mali? Skôr by som povedal, že to všetko boli posluhovači a pochlebovači darebáckeho štátu USA!!!
What this article alleges is that Zelensky is not in charge of the government of Ukraine. Even worst, he is not even a puppet, since he is not even trusted, to pass the orders down from whom ever is in charge.
The logical question, is this, “Who is in charge””
Ukraine “intelligence”: the ultimate oxymoron. Here’s to the FSB and Russian army reducing that nazi shithole back to the Stone Age. Whole country nothing but a bunch of rapists and murderers who drop artillery shells on children. Scum army. Turn it to a nice glass reflecting pool.😁
They say there is one idiot born every minute and the pentagon truly believe this. Have we not learned our lessons yet? They still think that a missile is an airliner. These people are fools and they only way they manage to get any results is via chucking more money at the problem, and assassinations. That works while they have a reserve currency which won’t be for much longer. The world will soon be free of the dollar shackles.
Ukraine is run by a cocaine using inbred Jewish comedian.
He’s not a statesmen. He was not properly educated in statecraft or diplomacy. He told penis jokes and made funny faces.
And so the joke is on Ukraine. That’s how democracy works. The smart minority get what the stupid people voted for.
Well, ukros don’t have a state to start with, they are in state of anarchy with local warlords pissing over that clown idiot zelenski. One more reason they should stop existing.
