According to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the US intends to launch a campaign to undermine Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to replace him with a more malleable person. According to the agency, former Interior Minister Arsen Avakov is being considered for the job.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the SVR stated that “the American elite” is becoming increasingly unhappy with Zelensky as politicians on both sides of the aisle begin to “doubt the targeted spending of billions of dollars in military aid to Kiev.”
Officials stated that Zelensky is engaging in “crazy steps” that threaten escalation “far beyond Ukraine,” adding that Kiev “has moved to feverish action” as Zelensky tries to stay in power after the end of his official term in May.
Why not? Who else has a better ability and interest to uncover and expose what the US is plotting in Ukraine? Doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true but it’s a possibility and one that has been discussed by independent media for a while now. It’s interesting to have a state source say this explicitly.
Could this just be information warfare? Of course, but that goes without saying about anything that any side says in a war, and that includes the western mainstream media which for all intents and purposes serves as the mouthpiece of the intelligence community and the military industrial complex.
You’d find me complaining here too if I saw posts by western mainstream media, but fair enough I see your point. I just say we should take russian state apparatus propaganda (or any state propaganda for that matter) which a handful of salt
As mentioned below, Western sources tend to be posted here a lot. This has the added benefit that libs tend to trust those.
