Even Pinchuk is selling assets. Things are heading towards early presidential elections, perhaps the last - Oleg Tsarev
Zelensky was left alone with his problems. The rating is falling at a rate of 10% per month. Conflicting commands are received from numerous owners. The land market requires acceptance for a specific buyer. Everyone is ready to unite against Zelensky, even Kolomoisky. Yulia Tymoshenko is preparing for early parliamentary elections. And presidential too.
PolitNavigator columnist Valentin Filippov was told by Oleg Tsarev, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, who supported the Russian Spring in 2014, that all the high-profile murders in Ukraine were carried out under the supervision of the SBU, and with the help of the Sheremet case they are trying to “drown” Avakov and Kolomoisky.
Valentin Filippov : Oleg, hello.
Oleg Tsarev : Hello.
Valentin Filippov : Listen, a friend from Ukraine calls me and says, "You know, Bogdan ran away." I say, "Listen, maybe he left, judging by his name, he's a bus." He says, "No, he ran away." "They probably fired him." "He ran away," he says. Tell me, please, did Bogdan actually run away or leave? Or was he simply fired?
Oleg Tsarev : Yes, that's right, as they say in Dnipropetrovsk. The thing is, since the new year, Bohdan hasn't been invited to meetings. Firstly, he hasn't accompanied the president on official trips—it's easy to check, it's immediately obvious—and secondly, they stopped inviting him to meetings, even to meetings with the security forces. This is a very serious matter, because, you know, Ukrainian politics and the security forces are, by and large, intertwined, as in all countries. And if you don't have access to the security forces, you don't have access to politics.
But Bogdan faced difficult tasks, and he dealt with them quite successfully - control of the courts and collecting votes for the Verkhovna Rada to vote. I would say that initially they didn’t want Bogdan. If you remember, when the appointment took place, Giuliani made a statement on Bogdan, Soros, on his channel, made a statement that Bogdan was undesirable, European leaders gave every possible signal that Bogdan was Kolomoisky.
But they don’t want to see Kolomoisky in power. They don’t want to see him anywhere, but even more so in power. And then the question was that either Bakanov or Bogdan. After all, Zelensky appointed Bogdan. Bogdan did quite a lot, but in the end he lost contact with the president, and this is very important. The head of the administration should at least be pleasant in communication with the president.
Therefore, Bogdan leaves, Ermak comes. I have known Ermak for quite a long time; he was an assistant to my friend Elbrus Tedeev. I have about one-eighth Ossetian blood, I am always accepted into the Ossetian diaspora, Elbrus is the world champion in classical wrestling, Ossetian, and Ermak was his assistant, well, I don’t remember exactly, but I saw him for at least 10 years near Elbrus.
I really hope that with Ermak there will be some progress on issues of peace in Donbass. I know his mood, I know that he wants to achieve results, but the only negative is that, as far as I know, his team is not very strong and not very numerous. Because when someone comes to power, no matter how good, strong, professional you are, you are you and your team.
Valentin Filippov : Well, yes. Sorry, I'm a bit off topic, but this whole thing started recently... Shariy dropped that photo, like our, well, their Ukrainian prime minister is an extra on some kids' show, making money by selling his face and clapping at the right time. Maybe they'll hold some casting calls, put out an ad, and then form a team?
Oleg Tsarev : Well, now he'll have to—I don't mean the Prime Minister, but Yermak—he'll have to address Bohdan's concerns. After all, the chain of command is sufficiently established; he'll have to do something about Prystaiko, even though he's currently trying to mend fences with Yermak. You remember how their relationship started out with conflict. Prystaiko kept making statements that weren't in line with Yermak's wishes, and his statements disrupted Yermak's negotiations.
Valentin Filippov : There, you say, a team is needed, but contact with the security forces is also needed to have at least some influence.
Oleg Tsarev : No matter how much they say, Bohdan, that he was Kolomoisky's man, he had quite a difficult character, Bohdan, and it was a double-edged sword; it was difficult for both the president and Kolomoisky. He couldn't be called Kolomoisky's obedient tool; they had conflicts. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for Kolomoisky to always turn to him, always get an answer, always get information.
Valentin Filippov : Well, Bohdan was busy with the voting in the Verkhovna Rada. They're holding them by the throat: "Hurry up and take over the land." And now Bohdan's gone. Who's going to handle this? Maybe the land won't be sold? Will chaos and mismanagement save us?
Oleg Tsarev : The thing is, who said that land needs to be voted on quickly? I was in the Verkhovna Rada in Ukraine for just under 20 years, and believe me, we voted in all sorts of ways. No matter how we voted, if we voted, it means it was constitutional. The thing is, even if a vote doesn't violate the constitution, it may violate the regulations. But deputies adopt the regulations with their votes—they adopt them themselves, and they can violate them themselves, so there's no problem there.
I remember how we voted, Vladimir Oleinik was on the podium, we had to vote on a law that the opposition really didn’t like. They drafted a huge number of amendments, he went through the amendments for 4 hours, and then said: “Well, look, the vote doesn’t even get 80 votes for each amendment. Let's vote them together." And everyone: “Let’s go.” And he puts this issue to a vote, the Verkhovna Rada gets a majority of votes on this issue - 226, after which he spends 4 hours reading out the amendments: “Amendment No. such and such.” After that, he reads out all these amendments.
Imagine if we discussed and voted on each one! As it is, everything is accepted as a no-brainer, and this is constitutional. The same thing could have been done now in Servant of the People, especially since there are voices. But the fact is that you won’t find this anywhere... The situation is not so simple for Zelensky.
In general, we need to start with Zelensky’s trip to Poland, where he made a number of statements. And the Poles told him that the surest course that the United States of America needs is Russophobia: “Let’s do as I do, we are the best lobbyists, we will help on all issues with the United States, join our ranks and everything will be fine.” .
With this mood he comes to Kyiv and with this mood he meets with Pompeo, confident that he will confirm what the Poles told him.
And now listen: Pompeo, in short, voiced 5 theses to him. First: do not rush to accept the land market. Second: when you do not accept the land market, the IMF will not give you money, and we, Pompeo, Trump, will not be able to do anything about it, because the IMF is controlled by democratic people. But don’t worry, we will find where you can find money.
Third: stop doing what you are doing with hryvnias in the government bonds market, and you know that the Soros team is earning gigantic amounts of money on the domestic government bond market.
Fourth: but this, in general, is more of his personal topic; when Pompeo was the head of the CIA, he was involved in the OCU - the Ukrainian church, which is this artificial one, which is now headed by Epiphany. He asked Zelensky to pay attention to the OCU. Well, you remember that Pompeo met with Epifaniy, this is his personal topic and this was no longer part of big world politics, this is how former CIA officer Pompeo voiced what he used to do.
And fifth, negotiate with Vladimir Vladimirovich, stop the war in Donbass and negotiate with Vladimir Vladimirovich.
Here are 5 points that Pompeo voiced. It was definitely a shock. The first point about not rushing into the land market is due to the fact that the main beneficiary of the purchase, the one who is trying to earn the main money from the sale and purchase of Ukrainian land, is Soros, and the Republicans do not want Soros anywhere earned hundreds of billions of dollars.
This is cosmic money - Ukrainian black soil, it is bought for pennies, and sold very expensively. It will not be sold, you know, like they sell seeds at the market, it will be sold through company shares. Ukrainian land will be revalued, shares will be issued, money will be collected. And we are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. Kolomoisky thinks about trillions, and believes that he should have earned it, not Soros.
But, nevertheless, Pompeo said so. Yes, and I would also say 5+ - he advised Zelensky not to dig too much into the Heavenly Hundred case. Because... well, it's obvious why. Because, well, firstly, the CIA was involved in this and this is the foundation, the ideological foundation of the Maidan, if it falls apart - it will be very difficult to maintain Ukrainian power, and the course that Ukraine is now pursuing. So there you go.
And imagine what a shock it was for Zelensky, expecting to hear one thing and hear another. Everything with voting questions is debugged and running. The Soros team, as Razumkov recently said, 40% of Servant of the People, is jumping up to launch the land market, the prime minister is jumping up to launch the land market.
Moreover, the unique situation, in general, is no secret, is that an additional safety pool of deputies who will have to vote for the land in the Verkhovna Rada, not from the Servant of the People, is being formed, and these deputies are given money, 200, 300 thousand, half a million dollars per vote, they negotiate with deputies so that they vote. And it’s not the government that pays this money, it’s not Zelensky.
Valentin Filippov : Listen, man, they could have made Russian the second official language, yeah, they could have. He handed out half a million and that was it. Well, in the end, they could have collected all this money from everyone and set up a fund. Okay, man. Okay. Now I remember. Tell me, I'm going back to the story of Yermak and the security forces, and Avakov for that matter? You say Bohdan couldn't handle it because he had no access to the security forces, and they couldn't find common ground. Will Yermak and Avakov ever have the same kind of normal…
Oleg Tsarev : Zelenskyy is in a very difficult situation right now. Look, according to our measurements, Zelenskyy's approval rating is currently at 36%.
Valentin Filippov : Well, not bad.
Oleg Tsarev : Well, not bad.
Valentin Filippov : Well, our presidents have had less.
Oleg Tsarev : Zelenskyy's rating is falling by an average of 10% per month. This is a very significant trend. And this trend is a downward one. If the land market is put to the vote, that would be at least another 15% drop. And then the situation would become unmanageable. Why unmanageable? The thing is... well, let's remember Yulia Tymoshenko.
Valentin Filippov : Let's go.
Oleg Tsarev : It's New Year's, she gathers her regional leaders, and her managers approach her and tell her that after she halved the party's funding, its activists are dispersing. The candidates are looking for other parties, the activists who do party work—you know, party work is quite difficult—they're looking for other parties, and something needs to be done. After New Year's, influenced by these conversations, she starts calling oligarchs. She calls Igor Valerievich, calls Rinat, she calls Viktor Pinchuk. She first meets with Igor Kolomoisky, and their conversation is... well... "Yulia, you and I always agree, and then..."
Valentin Filippov : Yes. It was a scam. I don't think she's paid up for the previous case yet.
Oleg Tsarev : "...let's come to some kind of agreement. We're both in a bad situation, yes, let's agree to make things work out, well, we'll move forward together." They agreed to meet again, agree on Kolomoisky's quota of deputies in the BYuT. Yulia will work on, you hear me, the snap parliamentary elections, she will criticize Zelensky, and most importantly, the snap presidential elections.
Valentin Filippov : This is interesting, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen this.
Oleg Tsarev : Igor Kolomoisky is ready to find sponsors to finance Yulia Tymoshenko and is allowing her to appear on television. Note the moment: Igor Kolomoisky is agreeing with Yulia Tymoshenko to work against Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Valentin Filippov : Oh, it's fine.
Oleg Tsarev : Well, that's not very normal. He only recently brought Zelensky to power.
Valentin Filippov : Well, I know, but this is Ukraine, that’s how it happens.
Oleg Tsarev : Igor Valerievich is very dissatisfied and believes that if the government is reset, he, Igor Kolomoisky, will gain a greater share of influence and power. And if you watch Ukrainian broadcasts, you'll see that Yulia appeared on the 1+1 channels, began actively criticizing Zelensky, and the program started.
But after the meeting with Kolomoisky, Viktor Pinchuk called back, met with Yulia Vladimirovna, and without any conditions allowed her on the TV channel. He didn’t give money, he said: “Please, all the broadcasts, whatever you want.” Moreover, Victor Pinchuk said: “We support the resignation of the president and early parliamentary elections.” He also wants, he also believes that if the government is reset, he will receive a larger piece of power and all that.
And this is a paradox, because Pinchuk and the Soros team have now, well, received an undeservedly large piece of power. Theirs is the Ministry of Finance, theirs is the National Bank, theirs is the government, theirs is the Prosecutor General...
Valentin Filippov : But for some reason this all doesn’t work.
Oleg Tsarev : Everything works, it works in the right direction.
Valentin Filippov : And still they can't get enough. Listen, Oleg Anatolyevich...
Oleg Tsarev : ...and he believes he'll get a reboot, and he'll get that very thing... Rinat Akhmetov turned out to be the most cautious, avoiding the meeting but nevertheless providing Yulia with access to his television channels. And while he can't be accused of colluding, he's still with this team, just in case.
Valentin Filippov : I see. Tell me the main thing. It's certainly funny, Yulia has gathered everyone under her wing again, or, on the contrary, they're all putting their faith in her... They're passing a law on private military companies. When will they just shoot each other without using television?
Oleg Tsarev : That's the next step. Everyone understands that if this kind of power shift occurs, the situation in Ukraine will be very difficult, and whoever owns a PMC will be in control of a joker; they can act as the joker at any moment, sweep the chess pieces off the table, and charge their opponent in the forehead. Therefore, a PMC is now a trump card, and whoever wields it is crucial. But we're digressing from the main point. The important thing is that today... today, Zelenskyy is left alone to face his problems.
Recently there was a meeting abroad, which Zelensky knew about, where representatives of almost all political players gathered, and everyone agreed on how they would bring down Zelensky. And what was shocking for him was that among these people was a representative of Valery Khoroshkovsky. He knew and guessed about the others, but Valery Khoroshkovsky also ended up on this team. Why? Because, well, he sponsored Zelensky’s elections, at a fairly good level. They promised him either the Prime Minister, or the head of the SBU, or the handover of customs, and they did not fulfill any of their promises.
In this sense, Zelensky did not act very smartly; at this stage of his political career, he had to keep his promises until he built his vertical of power. Today, with his behavior, he turned everyone against him.
As for Avakov and Kolomoisky. Well, Avakov and Kolomoisky have such an open, open declared war with the Soros team. They are trying to bring them both down, in different ways, and the Soros media are destroying both of them. Kolomoisky, as you know, is undergoing a criminal trial in the United States, they are trying to turn him into a mafioso, commercial courts have joined those taking place in London, and they have also begun in Israel. In fact, he has nowhere to go now except to Ukraine, and in Ukraine he becomes the enemy of the president.
As for Avakov. Avakov, since he is in a team with Kolomoisky, they are working on him in exactly the same way, here is the case of the murder of Sheremet, this, in general, is the process in which they want to bring down Avakov. Avakov knew the whole kitchen perfectly and knew perfectly why Sheremet was killed and who killed him, the role of the SBU was clear, it was clear even here, being in Russia, and for those who are in the thick of events in Ukraine, it was clear, well, twice two.
Valentin Filippov : Okay, explain this to me. I don't understand why they killed Sheremet. Who the hell needs him? I admit, they killed Buzina because the Nazis were nuts, right? Well, he insulted their nation, a phenomenon of planetary proportions. Who needs this Sheremet? Just like Gongadze, actually. Who the hell needs this Sheremet? Take him, blow him up, plant a bomb...
Oleg Tsarev : You're asking the simplest question right now, the one that comes to mind. Why isn't it being asked in Ukraine? Why doesn't anyone ask: why did those thugs who worked under the protection of the SBU need to kill Sheremet?
Valentin Filippov : Why?
Oleg Tsarev : There is not a single version.
Valentin Filippov : That can't be right. He's a person who doesn't exist. Well, Sheremet is such a common name; there are even a ton of journalists named Sheremet.
Oleg Tsarev : But, nevertheless, he was killed. Right? And they discuss who gave the orders, how they planted the explosives, how they communicated, but no one attempts, no one can, to answer the question: "Why did they kill the journalist?" And I think they're unlikely to answer, because the answer could be very inconvenient for all of Ukraine.
Valentin Filippov : Just like that.
Oleg Tsarev : I insist that this version—I emphasize, this version—is 100 percent true. I can simply say that… I have comrades who consider it the only and correct version, and who have both the names and, well, the details of how it was carried out…
Valentin Filippov : Well, and...
Oleg Tsarev : We all know about the central role of the SBU in this story.
Valentin Filippov : Yes.
Oleg Tsarev : Moreover, I want to say that a huge number of crimes were committed under the control of the SBU. For example, I read the transcript of the assassins who killed Voronenkov; this transcript was obtained by the SBU. In other words, they were wiretapped long before they committed the crime, and the process was monitored. I can't say they were controlled, but they certainly knew about it and could have easily prevented it. That's for sure.
As for Sheremet, there was such a version. If you dig into Sheremet's autobiography, you will find that he is a friend and comrade of one of the famous Russian politicians. He worked with Nemtsov, and when Nemtsov was killed, Nemtsov’s entourage, since the trail clearly pointed to Ukraine, there was a girl there, there were several other nuances, they asked Sheremet to conduct an investigation. And this investigation by Sheremet... he began to come to the conclusion that the Ukrainian special services were behind the murder of Nemtsov. As a result, he died.
I don't know if this is the correct version or not. But over the past six months, those people who... after all, I voiced this version immediately after the murder of Sheremet...
Valentin Filippov : Well, I'll never understand that. My understanding is that the people involved in this politics are simply crazy. They take it all so seriously.
Oleg Tsarev : …those who were behind the execution are fewer and fewer still alive. I really hope that someone will finally answer this question as part of the investigation. But if the investigation stalls, it will, of course, hurt Avakov.
In general, if we consider the situation in Ukraine, regardless of whether the land market is voted on, the land market will not be voted on, Zelensky’s rating is falling, the quota of his “quarter members” in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is very small, there is less than a third from the “Servant of the People” “95 quarter” “, and the overwhelming majority are the people of Ilya Pavlyuk, who is only partly... You know, he was involved in customs and schemes at customs, so he had a cache with which he was able to finance the “Servant of the People” and therefore, in gratitude, he got the opportunity to pass many deputies... and only in part can we say that these are deputies of the “Kvartal”.
That is, in fact, Zelensky remains, well... Razumkov, Ermak, the “95th Quarter” team is small. The Prosecutor General is not his, the government is not his, and it is extremely difficult to change these Soros comrades, he has no votes.
The oligarchs are now calculating this situation. Look how the ratings of “Servant of the People” have collapsed. Yes? We were just talking about this. But the ratings of neither OPZZH nor all other parties have increased. That is, about 50% of our votes were undecided.
Valentin Filippov : No, well, you see, the president's ratings are falling, the sixth president, right? It's falling. I think Ukraine's ratings are falling, people are starting to realize that, well, this is some kind of scam...
Oleg Tsarev : I know how the main political players think. They believe Zelenskyy's ratings are falling, meaning their political projects will win those votes. This is far from certain. Look, it's all swinging. If you voted for an artist, right? So as not to offend anyone by calling him a "clown"...
Valentin Filippov : That's a good word, I would choose to be a clown.
Oleg Tsarev : …last time they voted for a Nazi, now they voted for a clown. And they won't vote for a clown a second time.
Valentin Filippov : Maybe we'll start choosing dolphins, you know, dolphins.
Oleg Tsarev : I think this time the pendulum will swing toward the professionals, but not those currently represented in the Opposition Platform – For Life. Well, basically, the situation, if we look at it, is very difficult for Zelenskyy, and what will happen… his rating will definitely fall. And when it reaches 15%, his rating should fall further, well, in another two or three months, the situation will start to spiral out of control. What this will mean for Ukraine is unclear. Viktor Pinchuk is already selling his assets.
Valentin Filippov : Well, on that optimistic note, I want to say thank you and express my wish that Ukraine would finally be dismantled. Because it's a cursed place, I think. You say they'll vote for a professional... but maybe they'll vote for Putin.
Goodbye.
Oleg Tsarev : Okay. Goodbye.
English version :: Read in English: Even Pinchuk is selling off assets. The tide is turning toward early presidential elections, possibly the last – Oleg Tsarev
