According to assessments by the US intelligence community, taking into account the development of the military situation, the need to replace Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky may soon arise, reports the press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR, its acronym in Russian )
“According to the estimates of the US intelligence community, given the development of the situation in the Ukrainian theater of military operations, this may become necessary in the near future”, reports the statement with references to the statement of the director of the Russian SVR, Sergei Naryshkin .
According to the Russian entity, among Zelensky’s possible successors appointed by Brussels would be the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, Kirill Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s intelligence service, Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrei Yermak and Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klichko.
Among the reasons for the possible replacement of Vladimir Zelensky by the West are his “endless rudeness” and loss of maneuverability in the conflict with Russia, reports the SVR.
