Zelensky adviser resigns after blaming Ukraine for Dnipro apartment bombing
The Hill ^ | 01-17-2023 | LAURA KELLY

An adviser to the office of Ukrainian President Voldoymyr Zelensky submitted his resignation Tuesday following public backlash to his remarks suggesting a Russian missile attack that killed 44 civilians in the city of Dnipro was caused by a Ukrainian counterstrike.

Oleksiy Arestovych posted what appeared to be a handwritten resignation letter on his Telegram channel with text that read, “Wrote a letter of resignation. I want to show an example of civilized behavior: a fundamental mistake, then resign.”

Serhyi Nikhiporov, press secretary for Zelensky, said that the president had accepted Arestovych’s resignation, according to Ukrainska Pravda.

Arestovych has served as an adviser to the office of the Ukrainian president and is known for his public-facing position on social media, where his YouTube channel has more than 1.6 million followers and garners between 50,000 and 200,000 views per video.

Another example of the same censorship the FBI/DOJ employed at Twitter.

I'm confused. Does he mean that Russia is firing missiles at a military unit positioned in a residential apartment building?

I am no longer sure these are just accidents, Ukraine attacks its own for propaganda reasons to blame Russia. Fires up the losers around the world that fall for this BS.

We must have found a guy with a conscience. How long will he be breathing?

Yup, I was pretty sure when news of this first broke, it was a Ukrainian missile that was to blame, not a Russian missile.

The Russians are too careful to avoid collateral damage to do something that stupid.

Meth head mom and all her ilk..

Hell, they started off doing that with their holy hundred at the maidan massacre. Deliberate right sector murder to force the coup forward after Nuland told them that the US govt would swing their way if security killed over 100.

you’re a complete liar and keep claiming that people who support Ukraine support Biden
I constantly attack Biden on free Republic as I have been attacking democrats for the last 25 years.
Tactics like this are the reason that you putin lovers and Ukraine haters have 0 credibility

As for this story one Ukrainian official admitted a mistake and resigned. Suddenly that becomes Ukraine attacks its own civilians and claims Russians did it.

What a bunch of ridiculous fools you are. I guess Ukraine invaded itself too.

Then the other useful idiot says that Russia is so careful with collateral damage. Russia has been carpet bombing the country with missiles for months and months but you would put out lies like that oh my God.

If you weren’t so delusional and if you could make arguments that have anything to do with national security policy someone might be able to have an intelligent debate. But the whole chorus of you consists of anti-American kooks.

After you pull your nose out of Biden’s *** and clean it off from all the sh*t that is on the end of it, come back and talk punk.

LOL, Russians "avoid collateral damage". They are firing a Kh-22 missile with a 1000kg warhead missile designed in the Soviet era for use against aircraft carriers and is notoriously inaccurate. More than 200 have been fired at Ukraine. This same type of missile previously hit the Kremenchuk shopping mall after missing its intended target.

Ukrainian Air Force @KpsZSU

On January 14, a 🇷🇺 Х-22 missile hit a residential building in the city of Dnipro. 🇺🇦 does not have the means to shoot down such missiles. To shoot down such missiles, we need such systems as Patriot PAC-3 and SAMP-T.

And yet, in this episode and others, it still appears that what was initially blamed on the Russians by the Ukrainians, was actually the fault of the Ukrainians.

But thanks for the attempt at misdirection.
