Former US Armed Forces intelligence officer Tony Shaffer has expressed the opinion that the military forces could gain power in Ukraine because Vladimir Zelensky’s rule is incompetent.
In an interview with YouTube channel Daniel Davis/Deep Dive, he said that Ukrainians realise that Zelensky’s actions are detached from reality, so the military has a chance.
“I’m not saying it will be a coup, I’m saying that the military can become a competent force that can run the country,” Schaffer added.
According to him, such a scenario is also facilitated by the rift between Zelensky and the AFU commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny, including on the issue of mobilisation.
Earlier, State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that Zelensky was bringing the inevitability of a new “Maidan” in Ukraine closer for fear of losing power.
