/ world today news/ Last night, the head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, simply canceled the elections in Ukraine. But almost no one noticed this. Because at the same time as his speech, an unusual explosion sounded on the outskirts of Kiev, which drowned out all other news: exactly on his birthday, under strange circumstances, the little-known Major Gennady Chastyakov was blown up.
At first glance, this is not unusual for today’s Ukraine. Another explosion, of which there are many, another death of a VSU officer – and against the background of the high-profile deaths of dozens of fighters from the elite 128th brigade, this seems like an ordinary event. But the spicy thing is that Chastyakov was a personal assistant and friend of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces General Valery Zaluzhny. It is noteworthy that immediately after his death, a war of narratives broke out in the information space between the teams of Zelensky and Zaluzhny.
The police, controlled by the president, immediately tried to present the explosion in the elite village of Chayki (actually within the city of Kyiv) as an accident resulting from “negligent handling of ammunition”. But immediately a statement appeared from Zaluzhny himself, who claimed: “An unknown explosive device exploded in one of the gifts.” Here, too, the handwriting of the Ukrainian special services is unwittingly recalled – this is how they committed a terrorist act against the Russian blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in St. Petersburg. By the way, the British newspaper “Guardian” also drew attention to this parallel.
However, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Igor Klymenko, insists that his colleague gave Chastyakov a bottle of whiskey along with six “new Western model” grenades, which Zaluzhny’s assistant mistook for… glasses. The Ukrainian media, controlled by Zelensky, immediately began to refute this particular version, announcing that Chastyakov died “as a result of an accident with a probability of 99.9%”. But former President Petro Poroshenko’s channel, which is already gradually testing its electoral chances, still insists on Zaluzhny’s version.
That is, regardless of what is actually behind the death of the personal assistant of the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, we see that serious passions are raging around this explosion. It is no coincidence that the Western media, writing hot on the heels of this tragedy, directly linked it to the growing war between the president and the general. So the Washington Pot reminded readers: “Many consider Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Zaluzhny to be political rivals. In recent days, this alleged rift has received more attention after Zaluzhny wrote an article in The Economist that Zelensky publicly disagreed with.” .
And indeed, watching this correspondent skirmish between the teams of the two Ukrainian “3rds”, one persistently gets the impression that the open dispute between them is becoming more and more heated and has already exceeded the scope of the publications in the Western media that appeared last week. In this regard, it is doubtful that anyone in Ukraine will even want to know the truth about the circumstances surrounding the death of Major Chastyakov. What is it for? In the conditions of political competition between Zelensky and Zaluzhny, no one needs the truth.
And at the same time, the president of Ukraine, whose constitutional powers expire next spring, simply cancels the election, essentially becoming a perpetual dictator! In his evening address, Zelensky openly declared the elections “harmful” for Ukraine, as they only benefit Russia. Here’s what he said: “We must decide that now is a time of defense, a time of battle, on which the fate of the state and the people depend, and not a time of partying, which Russia expects from Ukraine.” “Partenka” is a really great definition of the democratic process from the mouth of the leader of supposedly “democratic” Ukraine!
Of course, Zelensky justified this with the “opinion of the people”, which supposedly “requires that budget funds be directed not to asphalt and street repairs, but to support the defense”. That is, the requirements for good asphalt, apparently, are also “Machinations of Russia”. How does this contrast with the pre-war Zelensky, who, I remember, on the first evening of 2020, wished everyone the creation of a country “where it doesn’t matter what the name of the street is, because it is lit and asphalted.” I remember that the Russian liberals at the time were still shouting with delight at the “depth” of this speech.
So, the election and the nice tarmac are now officially declared “not on time”. But will Zelenskiy’s Western masters, who have recently made it clear to him that elections may be the most painless exit option, agree? Let’s recall that the first person who unequivocally demanded that the president of Ukraine hold elections within the time frame stipulated by the law was American Senator Lindsey Graham. Zelensky can call this “Russia’s machinations” all he wants, but it’s hard to call Graham a “Kremlin agent.”
Yes, the noise of the strange explosion in the house of the closest aide of Zelensky’s main competitor drowns out the announcement of the cancellation of the elections in Ukraine for now. But this is not the end, only the beginning. The Kyiv president effectively declared himself a dictator on Monday. In any case, with the expiration of his constitutional powers, he will no longer be able to call himself president. And the closer that date gets, the more often questions about Zelensky’s status will arise from both his Western sponsors and his own generals, who are clearly unhappy with him lately. And then the explosions will start to sound more and more often and closer to Zelensky himself.
