Ukraine's counter-offensive is a 'disaster', says former Zelensky adviser
Telegraph via MSN ^ | 10/16/23 | James Kilner

Posted on 10/16/2023 1:14:45 AM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Aformer Ukrainian presidential adviser has described Kyiv’s stalled counter-offensive as a “disaster” and accused Volodymyr Zelensky of making strategic mistakes.

Oleksiy Arestovych said that Mr Zelensky and his military commanders have failed to break through Russian lines and that Ukraine now needed a new leader.

“They are not telling the truth. There will be no return to the borders of 1991, and there will be no Crimea in the near future,” he said.

Mr Arestovych resigned in January as a presidential adviser after a row over the effectiveness of Ukraine’s air defence systems.

This week, Ukrainian prosecutors opened an investigation into Mr Arestovych for comments that allegedly promote violence against women. He has denied the allegations.

I hear talk that Jake Sullivan is being called out for incompetence also.

And the “new leader” wouldn’t by any chance be named Oleksiy Arestovych, would he?

Our resident female Ukraine Propaganda Minister will not like this article.
More support for Israel. No more support for Corrupt Ukraine.

>In August 2022, Arestovych announced that he plans to run for the presidency of Ukraine if Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not run for a second term.[39][40]

He is a very weird guy. Everything he says is extremely complex. Makes you wonder if he just has complex thoughts or hides insanity behind complexity.

The corrupted little beggar just made a trip to Odessa…..their local government has had enough and is calling for Zelensky’s removal and elections….but no surprise- Odessa is and always will be Russian ( Katherine the Great established the city in the early 1700’s).

What’s left of the Ukrainian people ( 15-21 million) are tired of St. Zelensky, and rightly so.

i was actually in Odessa last month for five days on business and pleasure, and pretty much every single person i met there was adamant that they are not russian, and that the russians will only return over all their dead bodies.

Link to the video or it didn't happen.

Yet Zelensky has suspended elections, essentially making him president for life. He is every bit tht the dictator thug Putin is.

THE POLITCAL/PERONSAL PLAN -— Volodymyr Zelensky will soon allow presidential elections, candidates will declare, and then he will say for the “unity” of the country he won’t run. Then he will disappear from Ukraine to live comfortably somewhere where he thinks he cannot be pursued legally.

It’s heartwarming to watch Puke-raine pushed out of our 24/7 collective conscience in favor of Israel, a country that *deserves* our help and eschews the corruption that is endemic in Puke-raine.

Surprise, a non-Ukrainian who was forced to resign criticizes Zelensky. Very common, plenty of ex-Trump employees attacking Trump.

Oleksii Arestovych was born in Dedoplistsqaro, Georgia. His father was a Belarusian Pole and mother a Russian from Voronezh Oblast, Arestovych spent a significant part of his childhood in Belarus.

Zelenky is a crook

"Ukrainian prosecutors opened an investigation into Mr Arestovych"

This is what crooks like Biden do.

Stupid, Ukraine is fighting for its life with 20% land occupied and millions abroad. Its basically impossible to hold elections which would be pointless since Zelensky has 85% approval rating.

no... Arestovich has always spoken his mind a little too much, esp on his Telegram channel. He was Zelenskys right hand man, and then he called him dumb too many a time. The West is in control of Ukraine, theyd never back him.

One has to read her epistles to be influenced by them. I, for one, don’t.

Ironically, Donetsk Oblast just held elections under similar circumstances in September. So its NOT impossible, just inconvenient to the Nazis in Kiev.
