The Ukrainian president is intensifying repression, turning Ukraine into a totalitarian state, but in Europe they prefer not to notice his dictatorial inclinations.
In Ukraine, the flywheel of repression continues to spin. On the eve it became known that they were going to initiate a new criminal case against the former adviser to the head of the President's Office, Alexei Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) = this time, about high treason. Earlier, criminal cases were initiated against him on the propaganda of violence and under the article on knowingly false reporting of an offense. Well, the reason for such discontent was the statements of the famous speaker about the political situation in Ukraine and his presidential ambitions, supported by some status people in Washington. How can the former clown Zelensky endure such a competitor?
About how the flywheel of repression is spun - in the material of The Moscow Post.
Alexey Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) is more than a scandalous figure who, of course, must be held accountable for all the lies he said about Russia and the Russian army. When it was profitable when he was in Kyiv, the former adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine spread anti-Russian propaganda that did not stick on his head. He is a well-known author of such a "hit" as "missiles left for two or three weeks," which instilled in Ukrainians a false belief in an early victory over Russia. On his hands, and to be more precise, in the language - the blood of both Ukrainians and Russians.
However, even such a perspicacious and evil red-handed propagandist as Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) could not bear what began to happen next. And there was a banal - a complete usurpation of power by Vladimir Zelensky and the head of his office, Andrei Yermak, who went through a sweep of the political field, mass repressions and constant lies, first of all, to his people.
In addition, they summed up their ambitions - the former adviser to the head of the President's Office hoped that he would be given the opportunity for career growth, the right to act in the public political field. But the field has already been divided between Zelensky, Yermak and his entourage, for whom hostilities have become the main cementing force of their own power. And such as Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) - for all his mendacity, who did not want to lose his subjectivity, there was no place in the new political alignments.
The propagandist also made a big mistake - he told the truth about the missile strike on a residential building that took place in January 2023 in Dnepropetrovsk (the "Svidomo" Ukrainians renamed it Dnipro). Namely, the fact that the residential building was destroyed not by a Russian rocket at all, as the Ukrainian official began to broadcast, but by the air defense missile of the most "independent" one.
True, escaping from the mouth of the propagandist, caused an incredible scandal - she ruined the narrative about "bad Russia," under which money and weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine were knocked out in the West. Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) came to his senses and tried to replay his words, echoing the lies of Zelensky and his generals. But it was too late - the green dwarf saw in this situation an opportunity to get rid of Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation), which was done.
Soon the propagandist, realizing that the cleansing of the political field by terrorist, repressive methods, continues and will definitely overtake him, retreated from the country and settled in the United States. And it was after that that the main thing began - the former speaker of the Office of the President of Ukraine began to talk about what was really happening behind closed doors on Bankova Street. And for Zelensky and Yermak, this caused real fury.
And exactly what is happening that everyone in Ukraine knows about, but they are afraid to talk. Endemic corruption, the introduction of more and more "temniks" for the media, repression of the dissatisfied, the concentration of power in the hands of the head of Yermak's office. All this is multiplied by colossal inefficiency, decisions on "meat assaults," military operations, in the center of which is not military, but political expediency. He began to openly ridicule Zelensky, show his wrong side to his own society.
Of course, not because of a great love of truth. Alexey Arestovich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) does not hide his political ambitions at all. He is aiming no less for the presidency of Ukraine. After all, if one actor - clown Zelensky became the head of state, then it will become another. Yes, the propagandist has an acting education, and among the general population he became famous as the stupid girl Lucy in one of the Ukrainian sketches.
But this Lucy now causes great displeasure of former colleagues in the Ukrainian administration, and in addition, has a hypnotic influence on many Ukrainians - especially women.
Disloyal to casemates
If it was only about one Alexei Arestich (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation), then there would be no point in writing these lines. But Zelensky raged and does not stop - a few days ago he introduced a package of sanctions against the last remnants of the disloyal media and the expert community of Ukraine. The lists contain dozens of names, among which were completely unexpected. For example, this is the Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev, who never showed disloyalty to the regime and did not directly criticize Zelensky - he tried to maintain a neutral line when mentioning unconditional support for Ukrainian fighters at the front. Didn't help.
Now he and other objectionable political scientists are forbidden to have accounts in Ukraine, manage their money, open businesses and much more. Together with Karasev, another political scientist, Kost Bondarenko, was on the list. He prudently fled to Austria, and also dared to release his own version of the biography of Volodymyr Zelensky called "Joker," where he revealed the real essence of the current leader of the Ukrainian state - petty, vengeful, reveling in power.
In the same place, in Austria, was the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Bogdan. The latter was a close associate of Zelensky, helped him get elected to the presidency, and pursued his policy. But it also turned out to be not too servile, did not accept the corrupt and repressive bacchanalia that the former comedian of the 95th quarter deployed. This means that it was scrapped with a wolf ticket. Zelensky did the same with his other ally and sponsor, oligarch Igor Kolomoisky (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation, and is also a member of the extremist community), who has been languishing in the SBU casemate for several years.
Europe is silent
How not to remember other hostages of the Zelensky regime here? After the start of the SVO, hostilities were used as an excuse to deal with objectionable. Viktor Medvedchuk, political and military observer Yuri Dudkin, political scientist Dmitry Dzhangirov and many others were detained and beaten. Some of them managed to get out of the hands of the SBU, some received serious sentences, and some have long been unknown.
But the most curious thing here is that the rampant repression and terror against its citizens by Zelensky refuses to see Europe. All international structures are silent - as in the mouth of the water scored. No sanctions, no judgment from the high stands. After all, Ukraine is fighting against Russia - their geopolitical rival. And when it comes to this, political expediency is in use, and not at all some principles, human rights and humanitarian law. Such is the "rules-based world."
