The West believes that Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s time has run out and the AFU operation in Kursk region has only worsened the politician’s situation, retired US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with YouTube channel Danny Haiphong.
“It’s all new Western weaponry, it’s all blowing up near Kursk instead of stabilising the front in Donbass. <…> I think this has accelerated the defeat of the Ukrainian army,” Scott Ritter noted.
The ex-intelligence officer added that after the Ukrainian armed forces attacked the Russian territory, Western countries became more open about a possible alternative to Zelenskyy.
“We are beginning to hear in the West substantive conversations about how Zelenskyy’s time is out,” – summarised Ritter.
We will remind, earlier Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev commented on the statements of Western countries about the creation of a NATO mission in Ukraine. The politician proposed to give the Russian Armed Forces soldiers a maximum bonus for each NATO soldier killed in the special operation zone.
