“INTRIGUE, BISCUITS AND BETRAYAL”

Save Ukraine or save the system headed by Zelensky? That is the question for Washington and Brussels

By Sir Charlattam

Like every Tuesday evening it is a special day for me as it is the day I meet up with my old friend and contact “Joe” for a drink and an update on current affairs. This meeting was special as I had just returned from a trip a few days ago. Obviously, what is happening in Ukraine is the most important thing, especially what is going on under cover, as there is another war that the public does not see and will not see.

So it was and at the agreed time we met at our usual place and this time I must say I was surprised by the news he brought me with documents that could bring down the Parliament and “10 Downing Street” itself, taking away the poor vote of confidence given to monkey cheeks Johnson.

Joe has a source inside Kiev who gives him a pretty accurate and enlightening picture of what is going on around Volodymyr Zelensky himself and his close relations with Warsaw and..., London. At one point I stopped him and said “what a novelty, my friend”. But he immediately shut me up by saying “our people are so involved that they are the ones running the party there”. I waited a few seconds dumbfounded and said “What?”

I'm not surprised that MI6 is there but, according to this friend there is much more than one agency in charge. As far as he has been able to learn, Zelensky would be following a road map drawn up by the Foreign Office to the letter without having to inform Washington, which would be watching from the sidelines. Surprising, isn't it? The White House has put the British in charge of managing this disaster and the worst thing is that our politicians, with “monkey cheeks” at the helm, are happy to go along with it.

This at the same time has sparked several controversies within the military ranks of the already devastated Ukrainian regular army (UAF). Because let's make the distinction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not the same as the neo-Nazi Battalions (loyal to the Nazi doctrine of Stephan Bandera) that are being assisted by NATO and of course, by our SAS and SBS boys, so who really runs Ukraine?

According to a contact within a circle of middle-ranking officers, there is disagreement about how Zelensky is running the war, to which I replied, "Is he running the war? Joe, nonchalantly and sipping his drink, said “of course he is, but he's doing it with advisors on the side and they're all NATO”. Actually, what he was telling me did not surprise me since it was proven that French, Canadians and our own were caught by Russian troops. He also assured me that the presence of Polish foreign intelligence in Lviv and western locations is detectable without much effort. To a veteran eye there are things that do not escape notice.

According to his sources the Chechens on the eastern front are being hit hard and daily casualties are counted at an average of a hundred and that is not counting the desertions of groups of volunteer mercenaries, many of them Americans, overwhelmed by Russian firepower, inventing defects in their weapons or wounds in order to be evacuated. In Mariupol Kadirov's Chechens wiped out an ambush attempt and the scenario was horrific and very frustrating for Zelensky's military commanders. What do you think the unwary volunteers who thought they were in for a ride must have thought? 

I was also told that NATO is providing resources to produce audio-visual propaganda to boost the morale of the people in Kiev, most of which consists of colourful and witty music videos, but which are basically evidence of the desperation of Zelensky's backers and his neo-Nazi clique. This remains an issue and even if Tel Aviv wants to play it down under ridiculous slogans, their countryman is supported by a neo-Nazi organisation that itself was and still is financed by Jewish oligarchs. There is a moral dilemma for the European Union in this, though not for its Tory politicians, and certainly not for “monkey cheeks Johnson” and his minions in Downing Street who live off those very interests.

Another issue of great concern to the Ukrainian generals is where is all the war materiel that Washington has been promising with great fanfare, not counting of course the shipments that have been destroyed by Russian missiles, which are an indication of the good intelligence they have on the ground.

But this massive arms shipment has unleashed another business, and that is black market arms. But of course, not just any weapons. Tons of portable weapons, many of them highly sophisticated, could be lost in midstream and diverted to international mafias or simply to other theatres of war in Africa and Asia (Afghanistan). This is no longer a secret and the head of Interpol himself has put out an alert for this and of course the bureaucrats in Washington and even less so those in London who tried to summon him to press him to investigate alleged Russian war crimes did not like it.

What the West is also silent about is the humanitarian aid that the Russians are deploying without asking for a Russian identity card or being Russian-speaking in the controlled regions. Beyond an attempt to disguise the military action and its consequences, Russian troops have launched an aid campaign delivering food, water, medical care and security to civilian citizens. Plans for reconstruction are already underway in Mariupol and Kherson where battles have ceased and neo-Nazis have been surrendered or eliminated.

In the midst of all this turmoil Zelensky does not seem to be in control of the whole situation. There is discomfort within his inner circle and this is fuelling rumours of an internal coup by those who suspect that his policies are more in line with NATO's plans than those of the Ukrainian population who cannot cope with the situation. Added to this is Poland's growing influence within the territory and in all its decisions.

I think after all that we have discussed that Washington will continue to use its comic actor as the protagonist of this tragedy but it is quite possible that he will soon be given his cancellation notice.
