I have not written about the recent events in/around Ukraine because none of it makes sense and all of the information flows through the prism of ‘western’ intelligence propaganda.
According to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy {SEE HERE}, he has removed and replaced the entire leadership apparatus of the Ukraine military. This follows his removal of 35-year-old Mykhailo Fedorov from the defense ministry last week {CITATION} that led to massive protests against Zelenskyy and armed forces Chief Gen. Oleksandr Syrskiy, who was also eventually replaced.
As the story is told the young Defense Minister Mykailo Fedorov was very well regarded and was the person responsible for the successful technological advancements in military drone use. 35-year-old Fedorov was a close working partner with Palantir head Alex Karp who is assisting Ukraine in their drone development and deployment.
If the drone development and deployment was such a massive success, as pronounced in all western and Ukraine statements, then why would Zelenskyy remove such a critical and effective Defense Minister? This makes no sense.
Additionally, if Chief General Oleksandr Syrskiy was such an effective combatant commander, and if Russia was indeed pushed back on their heels by both Syrskiy’s campaign and Fedorov’s drones, then why would Ukraine disrupt their entire military leadership apparatus while they are winning such well publicized victories. Again, none of this makes sense.
These moves by President Zelenskyy are akin to President Trump firing Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, while saying they were doing an exceptional job on Operation Epic Fury in Iran. See the problem?
None of these moves by Ukraine President Zelenskyy make any sense against the background story of them having incredible success against Russia. You don’t replace the entire military leadership apparatus if things are going swimmingly. However, it seems that no one in western media even fathoms the obvious conflicts in the narrative.
The young defense minister Fedorov, responsible for the well-publicized and celebrated victories in the use of drone warfare does not summarily get dispatched unless there is some underlying reason. Something is not adding up.
ZELENSKYY – Today, the decisions on the changes in the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be formalized – the relevant decrees are in preparation. Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara, we determined that Major General Ihor Skybiuk will become the new Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He is a highly experienced officer who defended Ukraine shoulder to shoulder with the new Commander-in-Chief. It is important that all components of our Armed Forces continue to function in complete coordination. We also determined together how Oleksandr Syrskyi and Andrii Hnatov will continue serving in the defense of our country. {SOURCE}
Wall Street Journal – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired the country’s armed-forces chief in a major reversal after initially siding with Gen. Oleksandr Syrskiy in a row with a young defense minister closely associated with Ukraine’s growing prowess in drone warfare.
The Ukrainian leader announced his abrupt shift Tuesday evening following days of street rallies after he removed Mykhailo Fedorov from the defense ministry last week. After several meetings with senior military commanders, he replaced Syrskiy with another experienced officer, Maj. Gen. Mykhailo Drapatiy, who previously signaled his willingness to take a more innovative approach to breaking the deadlock on the battlefield.
It could prove a pivotal moment in Ukraine’s four-year-long defense since Moscow’s full-scale invasion. {MORE}
Additionally, at the exact moment when 35-year-old Mykhailo Fedorov was fired from the Defense Ministry, U.S. influencer Laura Loomer, a woman of generally unstable disposition, set off to begin a propaganda campaign in Ukraine telling her audience it was time to defeat the Russian propaganda.
What followed from Loomer’s arrival in Ukraine (still unfolding) is transparently an intelligence community assist paid propaganda effort to reverse her position on Ukraine and begin supporting the Zelenskyy regime.
Less than 24 hours after Loomer arrived in Kiev to begin broadcasting her pro-Zelenskyy propaganda effort, it was announced that FBI Director Kash Patel will be traveling to Russia {Citation}.
“FBI Director Kash Patel is planning to visit Russia later this year, likely in mid-October, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the situation.” … “Patel is scheduled to visit Russia on Oct. 14-15, first stopping in Moscow and then St. Petersburg.”
♦ Western media says Ukraine is achieving massive victories against Russia using drones.
♦ The leading military organizer of Ukraine drone development and use is then summarily fired, no reason given.
♦ The top general responsible for conducting the military operations delivering massive victories for Ukraine is then also fired – due to street protests against him.
Call me a simple-minded person, but these things don’t make sense if things are going swimmingly.
The western media are intentionally, intellectually dishonest.
And if they DID have moments of honesty…..they would be vastly overshadowed by sheer incompetence.
You know more avoiding 99% of western media – you may know less, but you won’t be chock full of b.s. propaganda.
Coup threat?
Agree. Maybe Fedorov and Syrskiy were plotting to overthrow Z? But if so, both of them must have seriously overestimated their own security. Z’s EU overloards must have all of Ukraine’s communications systems thoroughly watched and the country swarming with intel agents looking for just such a move, or even just a fear of such a move.
If a coup was feared, wouldn’t the leaders be arrested instead of merely fired?
When will President Trump replace any Leading Military Officials for failing to advise him on just how very very difficult it would be to get the fanatical Islamic Iranian regime to buckle ???
No one on the outside knows if he was misinformed.
When the people the mullahs made rich see their wealth evaporate, the mullahs will be dispatched.
It’s the IRGC that is in power in Iran. The Mullahs are window dressing.
When coming from a place of logic and reason anticipating the moves of fanatical and irrational people has its challenges. Did any military planners anticipate the Japanes would employ kamikaze pilots?
His advisors told him that, Trump did not go into this blindly thinking that it would be handled as quickly as Maduro and Venezuela.
Never. The CIA has too much invested in Iran to let that happen; just like the FBI in America.
Sounds like Ukraine is doing typical Lenin/Stalin type activity.
Remove the smart guys that pose competition to you.
Wonder where the
Gulag is located?
Chernobyl maybe?
If Kristen Welker or any of the other soc dem journalists had gone over and been doing this it would bring out calls for them to be fired. So I question why Loooomer is there?
And yes I’m not a fan of her.
What is not being reported on, I suspect is more telling.
Would have to look for other sources to illuminate, but I have my suspicions it’s a better outcome for the Russian Federation forces than the Ukrainian military.
Zelensky is worried about a military coup
A clue would be if these leaders that were relieved were either in prison or dispatched.
Things make sense if you consider the media narrative to be CIA CYA propaganda because their proxy war using Ukraine against Russia to regime change Putin is failing. It won’t be the CIA/Uniparty’s fault will be Zelensky’s fault.
There is a minority Western school of thought that the drone strikes have wounded the Russian Bear, but also strengthened its resolve to persevere. Federov is the poster boy for the strategically-flawed deep drone strikes.
The scary thought is that these deep strikes have been enabled by various NATO (and residual US) elements and clearly elevated the truly existential threat that NATO poses to the future of Russia.
The Euro trash is playing with fire with its use of Finland and the Baltic states to open a second front, as well as the direct military support proferred by UK, France, and Germany amongst others.
At the same time, the Ukrainian people have tired of the conscription, the SMO’s attrition on their quality of life, and the specter that they cannot win this conflict. A general revolt is the next step.
Z is fast running out of MONEY, MUNITIONS, MANPOWER, AND MILITARY. These latest actions have all the appearances and sounds of a pending death rattle. It’s time for him to shift his Post-Presidential Palace to Boca! 🙂
Maybe they were plotting a coup.
How can Z hold on to power while firing the top of the military? Nazi’s.
I can’t imagine anyone in Russia taking Kash bar seriously -insanity
Western media lies.
Sounds to me like Palantir systems are not performing or maybe being mis-applied. Patel uses Palantir in the FBI, I believe..
I can’t believe these military guys let him push them around. Surely they could dispose of him quickly.
In a May 14, 2026 interview with Fox News, Rubio stated that Russia is losing five times as many soldiers per month as Ukraine, despite Ukraine being a smaller country with a smaller army.
He described the Ukrainian Armed Forces as the “strongest, most powerful military in Europe”, attributing this to Western assistance and extensive battlefield experience.
Rubio specified that Russia is losing between 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers per month, clarifying that these figures refer to fatalities only, not including the wounded.
He underscored the severity of the conflict, noting the extensive damage to both nations but particularly highlighting the extraordinary toll on Russia’s economy and manpower.
There’s no question that the recent drone waves hit Russia hard in the rear – the damage is clear to see to refineries and oil infrastructure. Crimea is getting into a dire situation.
Checking out Russian Telegram Channels like Romanov, Russians are not happy where this is going.
This Fedorov guy got so famous in Ukraine that young people are protesting for him. To save face and shift blame Cocaine fired Sirsky who is disliked by young people for his rather brutal defense ops and forced conscriptions
He did that already with other highly rated military. The intelligence guy fired last year was also too famous and in polling in front of Zelensky
The next election, if it ever comes, will be held with the most cherished war heroes of Ukraine – Cocaine is rated very VERY LOW in Ukraine.
He is eliminating his challengers.
I don’t know.
Fall guys for Zelensky’s corruptness?
Getting to close to being exposed for it?
I can’t keep up with all the madness out there.
Timing is everything. Didn’t Miss Lindsey pass the day after returning from a visit to an advanced drone manufacturing facility in Kiev recently (July 11)? Hmmm.
Soetero’s favorite pianist is only doing what the CIA tells him to do.
“If the drone development and deployment was such a massive success, as pronounced in all western and Ukraine statements, then why would Zelenskyy remove such a critical and effective Defense Minister? This makes no sense.”
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. Zelensky is the strongman of Ukraine, even though an obvious puppet of the banksters, within Ukraine he maintains an iron grip.
When comparing this to history, the primary consideration is power, even more so than the rule of the spouse as the primary suspect in a murder and the first thing that you look at.
Stalin is a good example to examine in this case; he was famous for his purges and the first thing he looked at was whether there was someone getting too much attention anywhere, as his primary experience was that of his own ruthless climb up the ladder. He realized almost too late that getting rid of his top generals and capable party members might lead to Russian defeat and his downfall; if Hitler wouldn’t have blundered in attempting to take Stalingrad, instead of just cutting off it’s supply and bypassing it, 1942 might have looked very different.
Might gut feeling on this right now, is that Zelensky, in a risk calculation, judged Syrskiy and Federov as more dangerous to his hold on power than the Russians, and therefore had them removed. There is a great deal of truth in the saying, “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
In addition, I think it likely that Team Slavery has deployed the IC operations to back Zelensky, as he is likely their only horse at the moment.
As happens when power–especially power that is under threat–is felt to be threatened, absolutely no other consideration is made for any other subject, worse than the worse drug addict in search of his next fix. This is usually soon followed by their total collapse.
There may be a great opportunity on the near horizon for Trump to end this.
While coups (or more accurately, elections) are possible, I would put money on Z being told to throw more troops at Russia.
You can’t take the spoils of defeat from the people if they still exist.
Zelensky is the one who should be removed. Perhaps that is why he fired them. Maybe he is removing rivals???
Sick of this anti Russia hysteria. And this relentless push for endless war. There be no winners in WWIII. The only victor would be Goddless China. Perhaps that is what the NWO wants…..
