MOSCOW, July 11. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has declassified information from its resident in Kyiv about the United States’ search for a replacement for Vladimir Zelensky. This follows from a declassified coded message from May, published in the magazine «Razvedchik».
«Unspoken work is being carried out with the head of the office of the President of Ukraine A. Ermak, the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine V. Zaluzhny and the ex-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada D. Razumkov,» it says in the publication.
It is noted that contacts have also been established with the former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and the mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko. These figures could replace Zelensky if the situation at the front worsens sharply, the document notes.
At the same time, the United States and the EU would like the current head of the regime to remain in office, since the schemes are tied to him financing the conflict, which bring income to Kyiv and arms manufacturers in the West, writes Razvedchik.
As for public sentiment in Ukraine, the West is extremely concerned about their dynamics, the publication says. In particular, dissatisfaction with the prolongation of the conflict is growing among Ukrainians, apathy is spreading and distrust in state institutions is increasing.
In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the US administration would force the leadership of Ukraine, in particular Zelensky, to lower the mobilization age to 18 years , and then they will get rid of Zelensky. This will take a year, the head of Russia believes.
