Controversies around the rivalry between Vladimir Zelensky and Valery Zaluzhny continue to increase. According to information given by a source familiar with the topic, the Ukrainian general is currently creating a kind of “private army”, co-opting neo-Nazi militants to work for him.
CIA’s former analyst Larry Johnson told some details about the case during a recent interview. According to him, the standoff between the president and the general will be resolved through the armed coercion. In other words, the side that obtains greater support from the military will have the most chances of victory. For this reason, Zaluzhny is using his position as a military leader to gain advantage and prepare for a possible confrontation against the forces that remain loyal to Zelensky.
The tactic used by the general, according to Johnson, consists mainly of co-opting neo-Nazi militants. Zaluzhny does not seem very interested in searching for massive support from regular armed forces’ soldiers, since they are troops who tend to remain obedient to the current government. So, he is inviting the fighters linked to the ultranationalist battalions to join him against Zelensky.
In this sense, members of neo-Nazi organizations are being spared from fighting on the frontlines. Zaluzhny is sending recently enlisted and untrained conscripts to the front, while saving fascist militants who could help him if the need to face Zelensky arises.
”The guy with the gun usually wins and last time I checked Zaluzhny’s got more guns than Zelensky (…) I don’t want to present Zaluzhny as some sort of military genius or really a good-hearted man (…) [He is] a bit of a scumbag [who] embraces the neo-Nazi ideology (…) He’s been very careful to not insert the most ideologically driven troops – the Azov and the Kraken units – into the front lines where they get killed, because he wants to preserve them. Instead, he is sending the cannon-fodder guys”, Larry said.
Larry’s words are substantiated by some recent evidence of such a process. For example, on February 2, Andrey Stempitsky, a well-known member of the neo-Nazi group “Right Sector,” published a photo with Zaluzhny on social networks. In the image, he is giving to the general an honorary ID certifying him as the “first member” of a Right Sector’s brigade. In the background of the image, it is possible to see a flag with a photo of the Ukrainian Nazi-collaborator Stepan Bandera – considered a “national hero” by the regime.
Other experts also interpreted Stempitsky’s post as a provocation against Zelensky. It is believed that Zaluzhny is showing force, making it clear that he has the support of the troops, being able to turn against the government and, if necessary, fight and defeat it. And this is not really “new” since it has always been precisely the role of neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine.
Nationalist organizations were incorporated into the forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2014 and since then they have constantly fought for the interests of the Maidan Junta. The neo-Nazis were the main aggressors against the ethnic Russian people in Donbass and also worked in important battles against the Russian forces since the beginning of the special military operation. However, it must be emphasized that their role has always been greater than that of mere soldiers.
In practice, neo-Nazis are the real “bodyguards” of the regime. They have been strengthened over the years in order to gain enough strength to protect the original interests of the Maidan Coup. As they are indoctrinated in anti-Russian hate, they are seen as troops more loyal to Maidan than the Ukrainian armed forces themselves. In other words, if the Ukrainian government eventually decides to negotiate with Russia or begin to simply disobey Western sponsors, the neo-Nazis are expected to overthrow the government and restore Maidan’s original project.
In the current situation, there is an obvious scenario of western disappointment with Zelensky. The Ukrainian President continues to fight Russia and has not disobeyed any order so far, but he seems increasingly weak, unable to lead the country, being no longer useful for the western interests in Ukraine. So, it is natural for neo-Nazis to be mobilized to protect such interests.
Zaluzhny is one of the public figures who has stood out in the “race” to replace Zelensky. The West expects this process to be completed in a peaceful manner, but if it is necessary to face Zelensky through violence, Zaluzhny will have the support of the neo-Nazi militants – who are more prepared and well-armed than the current Ukrainian army’s “cannon fodder” soldiers.
Obviously, any internal conflict scenario will be catastrophic for Ukraine. With the country militarily weakened and on the brink of absolute defeat, these domestic frictions only further harm Kiev on the battlefield. But for the Western warmonger elites, a change in the Ukrainian leadership seems to be the last chance to recover public support to the military aid escalatory policy.

larry jonhson, ex cia, says “london’s influence on the war in ukraine is very limited”… so you know what to think about his intel… he is good friend with andrey martinov.. same same
condidering the situation (zeluzhny seeking prace), one would expect mi6 and potentially their creature (azov) to try to liquidate zaluzhny
zaluzhny seeking peace?
jump on board, friend. …….plenty’a room on this here turnip wagon.
he came to his position showing some kind of competency, contrary to zelinski who was selected because he is clueless egocentric piece of sh*t, its very likely zeluzhny would indeed seek to negociate peace. that matches the situation: info blackout except for cia chill bs.
this anti jew nazi “revolution” will never work, by going directly against americant zionists. the owners of this “ukraine”. but it can be very useful for russia if starts any kind of internal confrontation against jew regime in kiev.
nazi evil wants to fight jew evil
i support every nazi like a true american!
don’t forget to support them isis fellas in syria. brits can’t do it all alone.
i do that too!
🗽🐖🔯🎉
adolf hitler was a creation of the zionist rotshild bankers, wall street, the family bush, ford…… till he find out being used. then he attacs his masters. ford delivering v8 engines for nazi trucks, yankee delivering oil, ibm, zionist firm delivering the “card system” to register and metodly capture the judaist jews. the zionist were gone out of europe. so i suppose you are sutsh a zionist shoosenite ???
the ukra civil war among nazis is finally taking shape, i got the popcorn ready
as a nazi pig i too will get my bratwurst ready
scum figthing eachother is totally fine….
but, but, but……….but, but….there are no neonazis in ukraine.
the story is simple. kolomoisky”created” zelensky. meanwhile kolomisky’s frauds worth billions usd stripped 40 percent of ukraine citizens from their entire savings. after pressure from the west regarding corruption zelensky decided to jail kolomoisky but it pissed off global jews. hence we have the new “hero” zaluzhny with the task oust “zelensky” and free kolomoisky.
if you think zaluzhny wants peace with russia, this is not the case. btw “zelensky likes power no less then supreme leader kim, so he cancelled elections, because these elections would be rigged by global jews as poroshenko’s and zelensky’s elections. so make it short. ukraine is allowed to prosecute corruption as long as it is not related to the richest oligarch of jewish descent… end of the story.
any change in power in ukraine could make it easier for peace efforts to succeed. zelensky dous not want peace. he is willing to sacrifice ukraine till the last ukrainian and then when it collapses flee like a jew with billions stolen from the treasury. also i dont think if the neo-nazis take over it would offer a better chance at making peace.
it could mean a collapse of nato supplying ukraine as much and directly. making it more possible to achieve maybe a military victory over the donbass creating a buffer zone from which peace negotiations could be initiated. so yes a overthrow of zelensky or a struggle between him and zaluzhny could make it easier to end the war.
no. change in power in ukraine doesn’t mean anything as ukraine is fallen state and jewish kleptocracy controlled by jewish lobby from the u.s. so if you want real peace deal with ukraine, please send nukes on washington d.c. 90 percent of americans will be fine with that.
lol, ukraine keeps ‘winning’ more and more every day
i laik to wotch and cleen afterwaerds
“zaluzhny removed as ukraine’s commander-in-chief, replaced by col. gen. oleksandr syrsky”
