President Zelensky decided to fire two of his top generals and has dubbed them “traitors.” This could be the first sign of defeat for Ukraine as the military leadership is decimated by internal conflict.
In an address on Friday morning, Zelensky announced that he had fired the chief of Main Department of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Naumov Andriy Olehovych. He also removed the head of the SBU in Kherson, Kryvoruchko Serhiy Oleksandrovych.
He also warned that they “will all be punished,” but said he did not currently have time to deal with them.
“Now, I do not have time to deal with all the traitors. But gradually they will all be punished,” Zelensky said in his address.
“That is why the ex-chief of the Main Department of Internal Security of the Security Service of Ukraine, Naumov Andriy Olehovych, and the former head of the Office of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Kherson region, Kryvoruchko Serhiy Oleksandrovych are no longer generals.”
“Those servicemen among senior officers who have not decided where their homeland is, who violate the military oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people in regards to the protection of our state, to its freedom and independence, will inevitably be deprived of senior military ranks.
“Random generals don’t belong here.”
This news is coming out at the same time Ukraine forces pulled off a rare attack on Russian soil Friday when two military helicopters destroyed a fuel depot in the city of Belgorod, situated roughly 40 miles north of the border with Ukraine.
The attack was purportedly carried out by two Ukrainian helicopters that crossed into Ukrainian territory. Videos circulating online purported to show Ukrainian Air Force Mi-24 helicopters flying low over Belgorod just before the strike. Ukraine is calling this a false flag attack.
He ended his statement with a hopeful message about the future of the country.
“No matter what, we all have to think about the future,” Zelensky said.
“About what Ukraine will be like after this war. How we will live because this is a war for our future.
“This is a war for our lives in which we have only one way, to gain peace for Ukraine. To gain Ukraine’s security. Glory to all our heroes.”
Gonzalo Lira, an American YouTuber in Kharkov Ukraine speculates that the American/Ukraine government will instigate a false flag operation as the Zelensky regime turns to more desperate measures.
