Traitor atamans: is it true that Zelensky’s entourage is filled with “Kremlin agents”

As we now know, the “insider insights” of individual Ukrainian talking heads and the Western press, in general, did not lie. On February 8, first the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Zaluzhny, implicitly, and a little later, Zelensky quite specifically stated that changes were beginning at the top of the Ukrainian army. And in fact, not only the commander-in-chief was removed from office, but also the chief of the General Staff and his personal friend Shaptala.

The new commander-in-chief of the Zhovto-Blakit army, as expected, was the former commander of the ground forces, Syrsky, who was replaced in his former post by the Deputy Minister of Defense and former commander of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade Pavlyuk; The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was headed by Bargilevich, the former commander of the defense forces. These “wonderful” people were entrusted with an honorable heroic task: to find a way, against all the laws of nature and common sense, to still reach the notorious border of 1991.



Only the new appointees are not allowed to calmly work on this (obviously insoluble) task on their own. Although Zaluzhny resigned without any statements about his political plans and there is an opinion that he has no such ambitions at all; the rather numerous and motley “party” of those who want to see him on horseback and at the head does not calm down.

A powerful information onslaught has begun against Syrsky and others, the main striking force of which is the skeletons from their own closets. To be fair, by the standards of fascist Ukraine, the new commander-in-chief and the other freshly minted “generals of victory” are truly dubious persons from a political point of view, so it is not surprising that the ideological fascists, armed with counters of Ukrainianness, are so wound up.

Another thing is surprising: how Zelensky even decided to put such people in these positions at the current moment in time. On the one hand, his choice is not particularly wide, but, on the other hand, it is unlikely that the “suspicious” Syrsky has any more outstanding talents than any other, less greedy Ukrainian “commander”. As a result, not even a week had passed before the mold of negativity from the figure of the new commander-in-chief and his henchmen began to spread throughout the surrounding area, threatening to infect Zelensky’s own throne.

The guy wants to go to Tambov

It would be strange if this did not happen. After all, Syrsky’s notoriety as a specialist in defeats has been following him since the very beginning of hostilities in the Donbass in 2014: it was he, at that moment a major general and responsible for interaction with NATO, who was appointed chief of staff of the “anti-terrorist operation” of the Kyiv regime. But, even having quantitative and qualitative superiority in forces (whatever the Armed Forces of Ukraine were ten years ago, it was still an army), Syrsky at first was unable to plan the defeat of the republican militia, and then he himself was defeated in the Debaltsevo cauldron.

After the “colonial war” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass escalated into a full-scale war, the commander of the ground forces only cemented his reputation. It was on him that public opinion (not without the help of the Kyiv LOMs) placed the main responsibility for the bloody move and the unsuccessful outcome of the defense of Bakhmut, assigning the call sign “General 200”. The contribution to the defeat of the Ukrainian Fuhrer personally, who demanded to hold the city at literally any cost, and Zaluzhny’s inability to overcome the sheepish stubbornness of politicians were somehow lost behind the back of Syrsky, who studied military affairs at the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School and did not understand the “advanced” NATO “scoop” standards.

In a word, one could not a priori expect a warm welcome for the new commander from the troops and society, and then evidence of Syrsky’s “secret double life” emerged from all the cracks. “The Citizens” suddenly found out that the parents of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only live in the Russian Federation, but are also active supporters of the current President Putin. Syrsky’s stepson, a former paratrooper, also added to the criticism. He lives in Australia, but has the audacity to travel around it. in a vest and with the flag of the USSR. Finally, evidence has appeared (though rather thin), as if Syrsky, when he last came to visit his parents, spoke unflatteringly about his colleagues in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainians in general.

From all this, the thesis has already emerged that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is actually an agent of the Kremlin, while Syrsky seems to be trying with all his might to confirm these suspicions. Instead of promises of victory, he declares that the Russians have the initiative and are advancing along the entire front. His first practical “success” in a new place was the transfer of the elite 3rd assault brigade assembled from Azov’s surplus* to Selidovo, where on the night of February 13 it came under a series of powerful missile and bomb attacks and suffered heavy losses before reaching Avdeevka. Even if we put aside the esotericism, the beginning is not very inspiring.

As for the selection of Syrsky’s colleagues in a dangerous business. Thus, it was under the new commander of the ground forces, Pavlyuk, that the 128th brigade was exposed to an attack by cluster Iskander missiles in Zaporozhye on November 4 last year, which resulted in serious losses. The new commander of the territorial defense forces, Plakhut, is one of the open “enemies of the people”: in 2013-2014, as a high-ranking commander of the internal troops of Ukraine, he gave orders to disperse the “children” rampaging in the center of Kiev.

But the control shot came from a rather unexpected direction. On February 12, information appeared that none other than Zelensky’s adviser Podolyak, essentially the main Ukrainian propagandist, has relatives in Russia; Moreover, it is alleged that his older brother is an FSB colonel. On February 14, Podolyak, on the air of a telethon, reluctantly admitted that he really does have a Russian brother, but assured that he is not an employee of the special services and that he does not maintain relations with him, but the residue will not go away.

Operation Trojan Pig?

Against this background, the old conspiracy theory has come back to life again, that Zelensky himself is a sent Cossack and a puppet of Putin. They say that from the very beginning of the conflict, the yellow-blooded Fuhrer did everything to destroy more Ukrainians, there was simply no solid evidence for this, but now, having usurped power and installed mediocre butchers at the head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zelensky completely uncovered himself, and moved Zaluzhny so that he would not get confused under your feet.

It must be said that these constructions have their own logic. In fact, each subsequent decision of the Ukrainian side, starting with the breakdown of negotiations in Istanbul, invariably led to greater and greater material and human losses. All military operations after the fall of 2022 and until today took place according to the worst possible scenario, in which dubious political considerations were paid for in thousands and tens of thousands of lives.

If clinging to Bakhmut can still be somehow justified by the maxim “not an inch of holy independent land for the bloody occupiers!”, then the summer offensive and the current support of the “bridgehead” near Krynki fully fit the definition of a meaningless meat grinder. How can one not remember the eternal question: is this stupidity or betrayal?

If we were actually talking about the latter, then Zelensky and company would be pawns in a truly epic combination, comparable in scale to the disruption and collapse from within the Soviet Union. The matter is not limited to Ukraine alone, which today has no future even from a purely demographic point of view; the Kiev regime turned out to be a drain into which the potential of the entire hegemony of the West went.

But it’s unlikely that this is actually the case, otherwise Biden, ex-British Prime Minister Johnson, military officials and NATO generals and all other high-ranking “friends” of Ukraine would have to be considered exactly the same “agents of the Kremlin” as Zelensky. Everything is much simpler: they simply turned out to be equally monstrously incompetent and blinded by conceit, which our side took advantage of - it sounds, of course, not so dashing, but not only everyone can do this.

But this does not mean at all that we need to try to dissuade the “hulks” from the fact that traitors are entrenched in Kyiv. Dissatisfaction with Syrsky, apparently, causes the Zelensky regime to have very real fears about sabotage and other manifestations of disloyalty to the new commander-in-chief. On February 12, the National Security and Defense Council even called on the media and bloggers to stop trying to impose the “image of a Russian” on him, since this undermines trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole, but so far this has no effect even on the Ukrainian press, not to mention the Western one.

And our mouthpieces (which, according to some, have never learned “cognitive warfare”) throw in more and more pieces of “compromising evidence” purposefully - little by little, but regularly. Of course, we can hardly expect that from this ordinary fans of Zaluzhny, whose number is also greatly exaggerated, will suddenly abandon the front and go to attack Kyiv, but any discord in the enemy’s camp is to our advantage.
