The former advisor to Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma (1994 to 2005), Oleg Soskin, said on social media on November 13 that the country’s military wants President Volodymyr Zelensky to resign. He suggested that the military leadership will no longer take orders from the president that will result in many deaths for no gain, and this aligns with what other experts have said.
In a video, Oleg Soskin recalls that the counteroffensive announced by Zelensky will complete six months in the first week of December without any major progress achieved. Furthermore, the expert pointed out that parliamentarians have already said that Kiev will try to initiate criminal proceedings against a group of generals.
“Will the generals obey; will they behave like sheep going to the slaughterhouse? I think that in the military environment, everything has already matured, and they want Zelensky, so to speak, to retire,” said the former advisor.
However, this has already been occurring and is well documented. In a revealing article in Time Magazine, correspondent Simon Shuster wrote that “Some front-line commanders,” according to one of Zelensky’s close aides, “have begun refusing orders to advance, even when they came directly from the office of the President.”
Shuster then revealed how an order was received to “retake” the city of Gorlovka, a strategic outpost near Donetsk city, but that the answer came back in the form of a question:
“With what? They don’t have the men or the weapons,” said the officer. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?”
Ukrainian deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko also warned on November 13 that Zelensky’s office had started a movement against the country’s military bloc, which, according to the Kiev-based outlet Strana, has been talking about a possible candidacy of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhny.
According to the parliamentarian, procedural actions will be carried out in the coming days against high-ranking soldiers of the Ukrainian Army.
The Washington Post published on November 8 that Zaluzhny is extremely popular in the country and could represent a threat to the current Ukrainian president if he begins a political career. According to the newspaper, recent statements by the military showed the impasse for Ukrainian troops, revealing that “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.”
The counteroffensive began on June 4, and after three months, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the Ukrainian front was not only stagnant but also a failure. By the beginning of October, Kiev had lost more than 90,000 Armed Forces personnel, including dead and injured, and according to Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, the Ukrainian Army was unable to achieve any of its objectives.
For the editor-in-chief of New York-based magazine CovertAction, Jeremy Kuzmarov, the cancellation of the elections in Ukraine could lead to a coup d’état in the country. The author of five books explained that Zelensky is unpopular in the country and would lose the elections if they were open and fair.
“Ukrainians have begun to reach their breaking point as a society and cannot survive Zelensky’s misrule much longer and need to negotiate an end to the war with Russia,”
Kuzmarov said, adding that the Ukrainian president provoked an un-winnable war with Russia and spent most of his time courting foreign military support instead of being out there on the front lines with his people.
In addition, recent corruption scandals in the Zelensky regime have caused high-ranking officials to resign: four deputy ministers, five regional governors and advisors. Compounding the allegations of bribery and the purchase of overpriced food amid the conflict, Kiev officials have adopted a luxurious lifestyle that does not match their salaries.
According to former CIA agent Larry Johnson, the CIA and MI6 in the UK are already preparing for a coup against Zelensky. In his view, Zelensky will either be forced to recall the Presidential election scheduled for next March that he cancelled and then be replaced or be replaced anyway in a Maidan-style coup.
Stephen Bryen, who served as staff director of the Near East Subcommittee of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and described Larry Johnson as his “friend and colleague,” said that Zelensky was “working in opposition to his own generals,” naming specifically Zaluzhny and Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrsky, who leads the country’s ground forces.
The claim that Zelensky works in opposition to Zaluzhny and Syrsky would also explain why Oleg Soskin believes that the country’s military wants Zelensky to resign. Ultimately, it was Zelensky’s decisions and choices that have led to the Ukrainian military effectively being destroyed and now putting the country in an even worse bargaining position with Russia. Some in Kiev and the West think replacing Zelensky can fix many of these issues, but this is not very likely.
i don’t think this is the change of leadership the west has in mind though. it sounds like they finally realized that there’s a depopulation agenda and they’re being suicided
they said, putin is losing control. they said, putin is sacking gerasimov. they said, putin is sacking shoigu. they said, there is a serious disagreemet between military and putin. they said, there will be a coup soon in moscow. they said, there is a low morale in russian military. etc, etc. seems that almost everything they said, is happening on the ukrainian side, not on the russian side. especially so called british intelligence has mastered extremely well the art of being wrong…😆
putin got the green-light for starting the war from rothschild& wef only after they made sure all high-positions in usa and european government and economy where sufficiently infiltrated and placed with jews, homophilian lefties & communists as well as pedophiles. so this fake war, whose only aim is to eradicate as much as possible christians – to make room for jews or other foreigners, -was started, and all soldiers taking part in it (on both sides) can only lose.
too much nitrous oxide in your air.
former advisor can say anything. the question is what does the current advisor say.
vladimir putin said quote: “russia considers any manifestation of nationalism and xenophobia to be destructive because we are a multiethnic country. we must and we will fight these manifestations, but we must do so using methods that do not simply make it look as if we are doing something, but which really do achieve genuine results.”
i say: this putin statement itself proves what i & others here said already from the very beginning resp. that the soviet union did not vanish but simply rebranded itself as ru federation. because udssr was a multi-ethnic construct, but russia was (is) not but is a mainly pure white christian nation – so putin is eighter speaking of ru federation as udssr or wants the destruction of christian russia.
whatever the dopeheads in washington tell them to say.
is the war started by russia over? it was only 3 days, after all the russian super army is shit, nato should put an end to this russian antics in 2 or 3 months, the russian invaders were finished, 176 hospitals and schools were bombed, the real nazis, smash the nazis from russia new game at sf
hahahaha……nato. might as well call in the jamaican bobsled team, ukiehasbarat.
in russia, those who defended the departure of nazi putin are all dead or in prison, the group that leads the corrupt russian government does not want to give up their good lives, they prefer to continue to have a miserable minimum wage lower than the poorest countries in the eu and closing schools without basic sanitation, this is russia
it should be noted that britain facing defeat in ukraine, used qatar’s money, trained palestinians in turkey occupied syria for attack on israel in hopes of drawing iran and us into a major war. however, this plan also failed. so the question is, will britain survive as a major power if it also fails to maintain control of europe… which it flooded with muslims, africans and cut off from russian resources.
this was a replay of the crimean war of 1853, when britain created a western military block, just like nato of today, which declared war on russia… but did not actually joined the war. britain used turks, ukrainians of today, as cannon fodder against russians in crimea, but war actually was fought across the globe.
all brits should be put in straitjackets, starting with bojo the clown.
in the end, the british empire had to negotiate peace because its economy was collapsing, just like today the eu economy is collapsing. this is why russian army maintains its position to limit destruction of ukraine which it will have to reabsorb and rebuild.
only nato wants that nazi stinkhole called western ukraine. even the slovaks call them naziscum and are thinking of building a big wall to keep them out.
zelensky is just one of many incompetent thieves in kiev. getting rid of him will change nothing. the ukrainian junta lackeys running the country (into the ground) since 2014 are kaput.
i just found this nifty website. uacounteroffensive.com
it shows that for every ukrainian kia, ukraine has taken back one square cm of territory.
only 10000000000000000000000000000000000000 cm2 more to go. slava ukraini!
