Russian Intelligence: US Works to Replace Zelensky

Moscow – Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service reported that discontent among American elites towards Vladimir Zelensky is growing, so Washington is considering options to replace him with someone more manageable.

The White House sees former Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov as a suitable replacement for President Vladimir Zelensky, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in a statement.

“Former Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov is currently considered an appropriate candidate. The Americans view Avakov’s close relations with Ukrainian nationalist formations and his persisting ties to the leaders of European countries as his strengths,” the statement reads.

According to the SVR, White House officials believe that the move “will allow the West to better prepare for possible talks with Russia on resolving the conflict.”

According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service’s data, the US elite is growing increasingly discontent with Zelensky, and “the voices of those who question the wisdom of sending billions of dollars’ worth of military aid to Kiev are getting louder” both in the Democratic and the Republican Party.

“Zelensky is taking reckless steps that threaten to escalate tensions far beyond Ukraine. The Kiev regime’s head has turned to frantic actions as he is mostly concerned with retaining power in a situation where his presidential term expired on May 20. That said, Washington is looking into options to replace the Ukrainian leader with someone who is more manageable and less corrupt and would suit all of Ukraine’s Western allies,” the SVR pointed out.
