Welcome to the peace initiative for Ukraine in which you can contibute by raising your awareness as well as your consciousness[+] and spirit to the modes[+] of neutrality[*], decency, respectfulness, wisdom[*], objectivity, mastery of the intellect, surrender (ego and mind to God’s will), and finally peace (inner then outer). To properly grasp everything, we recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative in the order that we[*] designed it, which is listed in theContents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we urge you to do it, please. Did you read the Introto this “Beware of Propaganda” segment? Please, do so for a better grasp of the topic of this article.
“A tree is recognized by its fruit… For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
“For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
To get us going, a quick joke. What's the difference between Zelensky's war updates and a fish story? At least with the fish story, the size of the fish grows after it's caught😊. Ever wonder if 'alternative facts' come with a Ukrainian accent? Spoiler alert: they might😊. Let's unpack the Zelensky narrative, shall we?
Let's be honest, folks. We all love a good story. But what happens when the storyteller is... shall we say, spinning yarns that would make the Brothers Grimm blush? 😊 We all expect our heads of state to be truth-tellers. So, what happens when the storyteller in chief is... shall we say, more comfortable with fiction than facts? We all know actors can deliver a compelling performance. But what happens when the performance bleeds into policy? Welcome to the Zelensky Lies Chronicles.
Apart from exposing Zelensky's lies, this article intends to address these three lines of reasoning that have demonstrably led to tragic loss of life and the irreversible loss of territories:
turning the blind eye to Zelensky's lies (disregard for truth)
hypocrisy of trusting lying Zelensky while distrusting Putin
justifying Zelensky's lies
In this article we expose not just many Zelensky’s lies but also Team Zelensky’s lies as well as untrustworthiness and unreliability of Ukraine’s Intelligence Agencies SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) and its military counterpart HUR (the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine). We are not here to judge them – that is not what this is about – but to tell you that you and us can't rely on their stories because they lied to us too many times already. If you want to be a fool and take their word as a gospel, then that is your choice and this article is not for you. You are free to go.
When we talk about lies here, we mean the whole package of synonyms such as fabrications, deceptions, misrepresentations, inaccuracies, disinformation, misinformation, misrepresentation, twisting Putin’s words, exaggerations, inflating one's credentials, redefining reality to fit one’s desires, and such. Although we do not cover all that here because blatant lies suffice to prove our point that Zelensky, Kyiv regime1, and their backers are not trustworthy but if you are so spellbound by Zelensky's image, or such a Russophobe, or have such a low IQ that exposing countless Kyiv's lies is not enough for you to realize that you can't trust them, then we urge you to read also our other articles in this “Beware of Propaganda” series where we expose many more lies including fabrications, deceptions, misrepresentations, inaccuracies, disinformation, misinformation, misrepresentation, twisted words, exaggerations, inflated credentials, redefined or altered reality, and such.
In the complex information landscape surrounding the conflict in Ukraine, discerning truth from falsehood is paramount because false information misleads people into supporting the war effort rather than peace negotiations, with the devastating cost of continued tragic human suffering, death, and territorial losses.
Regardless of one's stance on the conflict in Ukraine, a fundamental principle should be the commitment to truth and integrity from all leaders, including Zelensky. What happens when the very leaders we ought to trust are exposed to deviate from these principles? Do we just shrug and say, "Well, that's politics," or do we raise an eyebrow higher than a startled owl😊? This article presents evidence for a series of claims that warrant closer scrutiny, encouraging a commitment to truth that transcends political affiliations and aligns with deeply held moral beliefs. This is not about undermining support for any side but about upholding the importance of verifiable facts in a complex and often emotionally charged environment.
For a nation with Judeo-Christian roots and values, the inherent value of truth should hold a significant place and remain a cornerstone. These traditions deeply emphasize honesty and condemn falsehood. In that spirit, this article invites a critical examination of dozens of statements made by President Zelensky, presenting a detailed look at them, juxtaposing them with available evidence that proves their incorrectness. It is vital to examine these inaccuracies and acknowledge them, not to promote any particular agenda, but to uphold the fundamental principle of truth so as to save lives and territories.
Before we delve into the wonderful world of Zelensky's creative interpretations of reality, a brief clarification on our own potential hypocrisy. As you know, there's a whole cottage industry of 'experts' who love to point fingers at Putin's 'fibs' and collect his 'lies' like rare trading cards while simultaneously hosting their own Pinocchio convention 😊. Unlike those 'truth-optional' pundits, who spend their days calling out Putin's 'lies' while their own noses are bigger than their grasp of reality, we're aiming for accuracy, or at least, a clean record since the start of this whole mess. Therefore, stones from us are not cast from a glass castle, and definitely no pots calling kettles black. Our noses remain refreshingly normal-sized, thank you very much😊.
Speaking of hypocrisy, self-examination is crucial for everyone, as none of us, yourself included, are immune to it. Many who passionately condemn alleged falsehoods from Putin and his regime as grounds for distrust and moral outrage may find themselves hesitant to apply the same scrutiny to their allies, namely Zelensky. Can we truly claim the moral high ground if we excuse dishonesty from those we support while condemning it in our adversaries?
For many, the conflict in Ukraine is a matter of right and wrong (fight of good and evil), and the condemnation of perceived falsehoods from one side is often intense. This article asks a crucial question about our own standards: Can we, in good conscience, hold one leader accountable for alleged falsehoods while excusing or ignoring inaccuracies from another? Shouldn't the same principle of honesty guide our assessment of all leaders, regardless of our political affiliation and preferred outcome in the conflict? If dishonesty is a reason to distrust one leader, should it not raise similar concerns about another, regardless of the side they are on?
Integrity in our pursuit of understanding and right action requires us to be unbiased in our evaluation of information. If we are critical of alleged dishonesty from one leader and base our distrust on it, then the same standard of integrity compels us to examine evidence of potential falsehoods from any other leader involved. This article offers such an examination of specific statements by President Zelensky, inviting a consistent application of our principles of truth and trust, as well as urging those who value truth and distrust those who lie to apply their principles consistently. Demand honesty from all in positions of power. Good luck with that, by the way😊. May your demands be met with more enthusiasm than a toddler being asked to share their candy😊.
Besides warning about hypocrisy or double standards, here's something about justifying Zelensky's lies. The argument is often made that in times of war, 'bending the truth' is a necessary evil for the greater good. However, this article challenges that notion by presenting verified Zelensky's lies and proving that none of that has led to the greater good but has instead worsened the situation, escalating the conflict. Zelensky's lies may have worked on the surface to gain and maintain the flow of aid, but overall, they have deceived many people into supporting the war effort rather than negotiate a peace deal, which has demonstrably led to tragic loss of life and the irreversible loss of territories. Turns out, the road paved with good intentions and a few fibs lead to a rather unpleasant destination. In other words, anyway you turn it, there is no valid justifying of Zelensky's lies as they brought nothing good. The point is: lying is not just a sin and unacceptable but it is fatal.
We all rely on accurate information to understand the world around us, especially during times of conflict. The emphasis is on accurate. Our intention here is to encourage a shared commitment to verifying information, even when it challenges our existing perspectives. By examining these instances, we can collectively strive for a more factual understanding of the events unfolding. In the pursuit of truth-based solution to this crisis, this article invites those who distrust Russian narratives based on alleged lies to apply the same critical lens to claims made by President Zelensky and his team, holding all actors to the same standard of truthfulness. Having double standards leads away from a solution.
Unfortunately, there are too many people who lie and therefore justify and tolerate also lying of others, believing there is such thing as “white lies” which are acceptable and that sometimes, it is necessary to “bend the truth to help a cause”. Well, it is a rotten cause if it needs lies to be helped. If you are not upset that leaders and authorities lie all the time, put lipstick on a pig, sugarcoat the truth, dress it up, or are stretching the truth to the Moon and back, you should at least beware that you can't believe them after you realize how much they lied. They lie, they spin, and expect a standing ovation for their "performance."😊
Lying is a sin. Liars are losers. There's no need to lie when you have nothing to hide. Liars hide the truth to deceive us. The problem with being a liar is you can never believe anyone else. So, all those who do not believe anything Russians say and are screaming “Putin is a liar” and “Don't believe the Russian propaganda” all the time are just projecting. It's like a pickpocket yelling, "Watch out for pickpockets!"😊
It takes courage to tell the truth, so you can detect a coward through his lies. The truth doesn't cost anything but a lie could cost you everything. The Bible contains a number of prohibitions against false witness, lying, spreading false reports, etc.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor"[+] (Exodus 20:16[+]) is one of the Ten Commandments, widely understood as moral imperatives by Jewish and Christian congregations. The narrative in 1 Kings 21[+] describes a case of false testimony.
False witness is among the six things God hates, king Solomon said in the Proverbs 6:16-19[+]. He also repeats it twice in Proverbs 19:5,9[+] that ″A false witness will not go unpunished,″ and “whoever pours out lies will not go free” and “will perish.” If we are to believe the Bible and the richest man who ever lived, king Solomon, due to his countless lies, Zelensky will not go unpunished, will not go free and will perish. The same applies to the whole Team Zelensky, including media and allies abroad who lie.
If you know the truth but, given a chance, you do not speak up or expose those who lie is almost the same as if you lie, too. According to Bible (Leviticus 5[+]), “If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.”
What do you get when you mix a former actor, a war zone, and a global audience? A story that's as captivating as it is... questionable. Let's talk about Zelensky's truthiness.
In a world where reality is negotiable, Zelensky's narratives stand out. Like a clown at a funeral, they're both attention-grabbing and deeply unsettling.
They say truth is stranger than fiction. But what if fiction is your day job? Get ready for a deep dive into the Zelensky Cinematic Universe, where plot twists are... well, let's just say 'frequent.'😊
We came across countless pieces of evidence of major and significant lies by Zelensky, his inner circle, Biden, and many other NATO officials, which would fill a whole book, therefore we only can feature some, maybe not the best examples but still enough to serve the purpose, which is to point out that they are not trustworthy and that they are held captive by dark forces, the forces no one should support through supporting them.
What is the purpose of exposing Zelensky's lies? Certainly not to offend, slander, or vilify him (God forbid!), although it may come across as such. Most people lie and Zelensky is probably not any worse in that regard than most humans. So, this is not a smear campaign or a character assassination or scapegoating as it is the case with him and his allies doing it on Putin (which is why Zelensky deserves to reap the same treatment but we are not the instrument of that universal law here). The objective here is to prove that Zelensky could not be trusted and as such should not be supported by the means he wants but by pushing for peace talks. We're not saying he's a pathological liar, but his nose could probably be used as a spear😊.
Truth always finds a way to come out and expose the lies. Dark forces can never ever beat the light forces. Like when you enter a dark room, all you have to do is switch a light on and the darkness will be gone in an instant. Dark forces or darkness can only reign where there is no light but as soon as light is “switched on”, darkness has no force, no power, nothing – it disappears. No one switches the darkness on but light off – all who switch the light off find themselves in the darkness, as simple as that.
Those who lie or have to lie to survive are held captive by dark or evil forces and we all need to help them to pull them out of the jaws of the beast, so to speak, instead of smearing them or condemning them for falling into a devil's trap. But some people can't be pulled out of their misery because they do not want to be pulled out; they have such a big ego that they can't admit they are wrong, regret, and repent, so they rather suffer or die than surrender to God's will for their redemption.
Unfortunately, when people are so far down the rabbit hole, totally possessed by evil forces, like top officials in Kyiv regime are, you can’t just tell them the truth (“switch on the light”) to help them see the light. They are “blind” so they can’t see the light but still the light can beat their darkness, so they will lose but will not realize or admit their mistakes. It is possible to convert many people but not all of them. Even Christ did not convert the haters who stoned him and crucified him. He did not even try to convert them or persuade them or anything like that. He knew better than to do the work of Sisyphus[+]. It is futile to reason with unreasonable people, like herding cats. It can be even counter-productive, forcing them to develop more strength and resilience to counter opposition. There is no way Ukrainians can thrive under current regime or government. As long as they stick with it, regardless of who of the bunch is in power (neo-Nazi Bandera fan[ꚛ][+][+][+]general Zaluzhnyi would be even worse), if they stick with the same policies, they are doomed to fail. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it admit it's thirsty😊.
the work of Sisyphus: the gods forced him to roll a huge boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity.
NATO forces are dark forces posing as “the force for good” and whoever choses them over Christ's forces is doomed. Sorry to say, Zelensky is a dead man walking. He is already spiritually dead, which is very obvious to everyone willing to use their eyes properly. He is constantly embarrassing himself and his nation at every interview and selfie with his hate speech, lies, constant desperate begging[»][»], and other signs of desperation. It is very sad to see him fall so low. It's like watching a mime try to conduct an orchestra – a lot of dramatic gestures, but the music's definitely off-key😊.
Even though, there is always hope for people to convert, we do not see anyone wise in Zelensky’s circles who could help him to realize his mistakes, repent, and surrender to God's will and justice. Even his wife is as bad as him and needs a slap, so to speak, to wake up. Even medical workers, when they need to revive an unconscious person, do not do it by speaking to them softly, petting, or cuddling them; no, they beat the person with a reanimation defibrillator.
Olena Zelenska?
All anyone conscious needs to do to revive, to change the circumstances for the better, is to submit oneself to God[+] but to do that, to surrender to God, one needs to activate the virtues of honesty and humility, which is impossible for those whose ego is constantly being fed by his surroundings. Like with electroshock therapy, only a shock treatment may do the trick.
The devil is a liar and all who lie serve the devil and turn their back on God. There is no valid justification for lies, no such thing as “white lies” – a classification from devil. If you need to lie to achieve something, your goal is rotten, serving devil, not God. God prohibits lies and would never want us to achieve anything by means of lies. Rather die than lie! Better to die than to lie.
Even if you are tempted to expose a lie with another lie, you’d be a liar trying to expose another liar, which makes you untrustworthy in your future work. People would think you’d try to trick them too. No one goes to a pickpocket for a seminar on anti-theft techniques😊. Also, if the other person is a better liar than you, he would not fall for your lies. Best liars can detect other liars, just like best tricksters can see through other tricksters.
No idea what God does Zelensky serve because he is not a religious Jew but ethnic Jew and his kids are baptized while he is not, clearly a confused man, not even a role model for his own family. In the religion of his wife and kids, Christ is the Son of God through whom only a person may reach God, while Jews deny that. So, while Zelensky may blaspheme God and sermonize[+] that “God has a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder”, as if he has the religious authority to make such blasphemous claims, the people using brains consider why no religious authority has ever said that, only some unreligious former clown! We pity those who take Zelensky’s word as gospel because they are cursed. They are asking a stand-up comedian for theological advice and wonder why it does not work😊.
The devil is a liar. By choosing to ignore that the devil exists and that his sole aim is to ruin us by taking us away from God (this is the only way God's creatures can be ruined), people set themselves up to fall victim to his ploys. In (prophet) Hosea 4:62[+], it states, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge." Furthermore, God said there that He ignores those who reject the knowledge from God and ignore the God’s law but do not repent. You know that you fell victim to devil’s ploys when you have doubts and fears as well as when you believe you need to lie and beg to survive.
The devil uses our mind as his battlefield to wage war against us. He tells people convincing lies and deceives them so much that they doubt the words of God (as revealed in holy Scriptures) and believe him instead. The most tormented people in the world are those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit and deny Christ as their savior. They might gain enormous wealth and fame but they live in hell, as they are tormented, troubled, angst-ridden addicts. They are so obsessed with their image, how other people see them, that they totally neglect their soul for the sake of their ego. Anyone using brains can see that Zelensky is totally ego-driven and that he has no soul, so to speak (he has a soul, of course, but is repressed). There is nothing soulful in his speech and actions while there is plenty of egomania. He is not a giver but a sole taker. He gives nothing, not even praises unless to motivate others to fight or donate. All these are clear signs of a loser and a clear indication his country will lose.
Since most of us in the world, and even most people living in Ukraine, do not get all or most of the information about the war in Ukraine first hand, from our own experience, we rely on others to inform us. However, the question is whom can we trust. Normally, we trust the authorities. But if authorities have been caught lies too many times, then it would be unwise to trust them. This is exactly the point here, Zelensky, Biden[+][ꚛ][»][»][»][+], von der Leyen[+][+], and many other authorities from Kyiv and NATO[+][+] have been caught lying too many times, which is why we should all be cautious about trusting them, especially in the matters of life and death.
Zelensky is called Pinocchio by his own people[+], von der Leyen has a nickname von der Lying[+][+][+]…
Russian authorities[+], such as President Putin, Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitri S. Peskov, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Minister of Defence Sergei Shoigu, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov, on the other hand, in our research proved to be much more trustworthy because we never caught them lying (despite trying hard to find evidence of their lies). They might say things we disagree with but those are their opinions or views, not lies. And they might change their mind (e.g., about “invading” Ukraine), which is also not lying (apart from revealing military secrets would be stupid).
We also never caught Russian state media such as TASS, RT, and Sputnik lying, which is actually quite remarkable, especially given that all NATO states media outlets have been caught lying countless times, some of which we will expose in this “Beware of Propaganda” segment, so as to justify their untrustworthiness in the context of being beware of propaganda.
In the context of asking everyone to be cautious of propaganda when assessing what side to take (best would be not to take sides in this conflict), it is very important not to be dragged into supporting Zelensky and his allies based on disinformation and not to be fooled into taking everything Zelensky and his associates and allies (birds of a feather) say as a gospel. Even so-called fact-checking sites are part of propaganda, part of information warfare or cognitive warfare[+], and as such can't be trusted, especially if all their fact-checking is in favor of just one side of the conflict.
We tried to fact-check Zelensky's dubious claims but it was like trying to nail jelly to a wall😊. Because he never backs his allegations with any evidence but offers nothing but empty words like “according to our data…” with a “trust me, bro” squint. We are supposed to just take his word for it. Three things you should never say to Zelensky: “Idon't have money.” “Is that true?” “Crimea is Russia.”😊That, and call him a pianist.
As a matter of fact, according to our impartial3 research and fact-checking, to our surprise and disappointment, we found out that most of the things Ukrainian and Western authorities have been telling us about the war in Ukraine is either a lie or half-truth. It is not always clear if they intentionally lie or they believe it to be true. Another our finding is that even though both sides engage in propaganda, deception, indoctrination, and disinformation, Russians do it less. We are not saying that they are morally superior but that perhaps this is because they do not have to lie as much or at all because they are winning this war on all levels (military, economic, political).
When it comes to Zelensky's claims, he never bothers to provide any factual or circumstantial evidence but expects us to believe everything he says as if he is a messiah or something to that effect and his words should be taken as a gospel. Surprisingly, too many people do just that, never questioning his integrity even knowing about his motives to lie or exaggerate.
In extremely rare cases when someone dares or is permitted to ask about his sources, his answer is either “Just trust me” or “our intelligence”. To avoid this question, he sometimes starts by saying “according to our data…” What data and who exactly is “our” is never conveyed. Trying to get Zelensky's sources is like asking a magician how the trick works – they just tell you, "It's magic!"😊 How reliable or trustworthy is a former showbiz guy Zelensky and his intelligence, it is up to each of us to determine by drawing conclusions from the following list of fibs and insights.
It may be okey for a president to assume authority expecting everyone to buy everything he is selling but only if he has a track record of sincerity, integrity, and great achievements as a president and if his team does the due diligence of providing all the evidence but this is not the case here. Zelensky has a track record of lying and pretending to be someone he is not, which was how he made his living before he suddenly became a president. He was an actor up until he was elected and he never stopped being an actor. Just as he never stopped playing his comedy role of a president. Zelensky's presidency is like a method acting4 gig that went way too far😊.
In ‘The Servant of the People’ television series, for four years, Zelensky used to play[»] a common guy who suddenly became a president. This was a comedy act that he never got out of. “Zelensky did not leave ‘The Servant of the People’ film. He continues to play his role… He does not think it’s lying … he’s acting… Zelensky never left his acting role as the president. People get offended that he’s lying, but he thinks that is acting.”[»][»][»][»]– Andriy Bohdan, former head of the president’s office Ukraine.
The problem is, Zelensky never get out of character from that role he played in ‘The Servant of the People’ sitcom, a problem5 many mentally unstable actors face, especially those using Stanislavsky’s “method acting” face, as they got stuck in a character, encroaching on other facets of their life, disrupting the actor's psyche[+]. When actors use Method acting and deeply immerse themselves in a role, they risk over-identifying – blurring their own identity with the character's. This can linger well after filming, causing emotional fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and in extreme cases, psychotic episodes. While some actors may be able to shake off their roles once the movie is finished, others may struggle with the impact that their characters have had on them. Clinical psychologist acknowledge and address these emotional struggles of actors. We call it Ledger Syndrome or Joker Effect, after Heath Ledger, who immersed himself deeply as the Joker in The Dark Knight (a Batman movie), which tragically correlated with his mental health decline and led to his accidental death in January 2008. But maybe we have to rename it after Zelensky and call it Zelensky Syndrome.
Imagine finding out your surgeon got his job due to playing a doctor on TV ☹😊! And that he got no medical education and real-life experience but he clings to his role as surgeon in private life. This is exactly what happened to Zelensky who had no prior education and real-life experience in politics and leadership as he was nothing but a clown just days before he got elected thanks to his patron, a Jewish Ukrainian oligarch who was in exile in the US due to his crimes of embezzlement for which he is now in jail (yes, Zelensky jailed his patron).
Like Johnny Depp said[»] that actors tell lies for a living, and all actors are liars, Zelensky is a professional actor and so a professional liar.
President Zelensky’s former adviser and spokesperson Oleksiy Arestovych, who resigned in January 2023 (after causing public outrage by openly stating the probable truth that an anti-ship missile that killed at least 45 people in the city of Dnipro[+] had been shot by Ukrainian air defense and not by Russia) said[»] in an US podcast in December 2024 that he trusts Putin more than Zelensky. So, if Zelensky's right hand all throughout 2022 says that, then everyone else who do not even know Zelensky personally should reconsider trusting Zelensky and believing everything he says. After reading this segment exposing Zelensky as a liar, anyone still trusting him must be insane. It's like getting their workout advice from a couch potato😊.
A list of some of Zelensky's lies (in chronological order):
➡1. Zelensky lied[+] Ukrainian voters in 2019, giving false campaign promises[»][+][»][»][»] on which he based his presidential campaign – people voted for him because he promised he would end corruption[+][+][+][+][+][+]and war in Donbas[+][+][+], negotiate peace with Russia, as well as reconcile the country (pro-West and pro-Russian populace) but instead he did the opposite, breaking all his promises, which can only mean he intentionally lied just to get elected. To get elected, comedian Zelensky promised[»]: to end the war, to negotiate with Putin, to do everything to prevent even a single death, to hold a referendum about the peace proposal, so that Ukraine decides and not him – he broke absolutely all of those promises.
Although it is common that all presidential candidates break their promises, it is not acceptable that he broke all his promises, which is why he can't be trusted. Also, he broke the most important promise – he was elected on a mandate to make peace with Russia but he did the opposite, he escalated it into a direct war with Russia. He also rejected the peace deals agreed upon on by Minsk agreements and Istanbul peace draft in April 2022. He admitted[+] he sabotaged Minsk peace deal with Russia and here[»] is he recorded ridiculing the Minsk Accords in 2019 in Paris.
Ukraine wants peace so much that he rejected all peace deals and initiatives and banned any peace negotiations with Russia!
He also gave a false promise at the inauguration[»]: “Dear people, throughout my life I tried to do everything to make Ukrainians smile. I felt so in my heart. It was not only my job, it was my mission. For the next five years I will do everything so that you, Ukrainians, do not cry.” He did the very opposite by escalating the conflict in every possible way.
Zelensky's campaign promises were like a buffet – everything sounded delicious, but by the time you sat down to eat, half the dishes were gone😊.
➡2. Zelensky lied on many occasions[+][+][»][»] about his assassination attempts[+] (claimed also by his aides[+][+][+][+][+]) without even a single shred of evidence6 – his home, office, and car were never attacked although Russia has all these coordinates for missile attacks. Paranoid and self-important Zelensky claimed many times that Putin tried to assassinate him but he holds live transmitted speeches like this one[»] that allow everybody in the world to know his live location! If Putin wanted, he’d launch a hypersonic missile that would arrive in 90 seconds in Kyiv without warning while he holds his live press conferences there. He and his aides’ lies are also obvious by the fact that they give conflicting reports[+][+][+][+][+][»][+][+][+] about the number of alleged assassination attempts, which, anyway, turned out to be just alleged theoretical plots, not actual concrete attempts. Circumstantial evidence of those lies is also the fact that all these attempts happened only in February 2022[+] as if Russians then changed their mind or something (all other alleged attempts were conducted by Ukrainians and some other foreigners in Germany and Poland). Circumstantial evidence of those lies is also the fact that, unlike the US7, Russia has never assassinated any head of state nor attempted to do it as this is not their style. Why would Russia kill or kidnap Zelensky when he would be replaced with someone like him or even worse as long as the US is in control in Ukraine? Zelensky's incompetence has been beneficial to Russia in many ways. There is witticism among the pro-Russians about why the Russians keep Zelensky alive: because otherwise, he could be replaced by someone competent 😊. Joke or no joke, Zelensky's unique brand of leadership hasn't exactly been Russia's biggest problem. That is to say, Zelensky's incompetence has helped Russia gain much more than Kremlin officials initially anticipated. Zelensky may be hailed as a hero in Russia because he has helped Russia gain the most territory for Putin the Great since Peter the Great[+].
Further evidence that Russia has not planned a regime change by killing him is the fact that they have no alternative to replace him. Whenever the US plans violent regime changes, they always have a puppet ready to replace the current leader. Russia has no one; they are happy with Zelensky as long as the war goes on in their favor.
Circumstantial evidence that Zelensky is lying is the evidence of him projecting – it is actually him or Ukraine that is trying to assassinate Putin as he openly confirmed it[»][+][+]: Ukraine has every right to kill Putin given the opportunity. If he is not a hypocrite, then Russia has every right to kill him as well given the opportunity. Pressed on if Ukraine would take a chance to kill Putin if an opportunity arose, Zelensky said[»][+]: “That’s war, and Ukraine has all the rights to defend our land.” Newsflash! No, it doesn't! It seems that dilettante President of Ukraine does not know the basics of international law. Ukraine doesn't have right to disregard the law, kill civilians, rape, use nuclear weapons, etc. Putin is a political (not a military) leader who does not have combatant status and does not directly participate in hostilities, and as such, according to Article 50 (1) of AP I[+] of the Geneva Conventions relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, he is considered to be a civilian and by law, protected against direct attacks. According to the same Article 50 (1), “in case of doubt whether a person is a civilian, that person shall be considered to be a civilian”. Political leaders are not legitimate targets. Any head of State who is also the Commander-in-Chief or Military Ceremonial Commander is not a combatant by status. In other words, killing Putin would be a war crime and any attack on him would be a terrorist attack.[+] If Putin is not considered a civilian, then nobody in Ukraine is a civilian because all of Ukrainians take part in hostilities more than Putin does. Zelensky, on the other hand, is a leader who does directly participate in hostilities and therefore he lost his civilian status and protection. Unlike Putin, Zelensky (like Serbia's Slobodan Milošević) is directly involved in military decision-making, thus he is a lawful target in an IAC. He gives military orders that adversely affect the military operations to inflict death, injury, or destruction on persons or objects protected against direct attack (civilians). For instance, almost daily attacks on civilian targets in the Donetsk city, Belgorod, and Kursk region are his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility.
➡3. Zelensky lied[»][+] about his family not fleeing Ukraine when Russians attacked: “How could I take the family out? Ordinary people would not understand me.” But his wife admitted later otherwise: “After that, we immediately left abroad… Then I arrived a month and a half later.” Zelensky hid his family abroad from the very start – evidence here[+][+].
➡4. Zelensky lied[+][+] that "a Russian airborne force in Hostomel airport outside Kyiv, which has a big runway, has been stopped and is being destroyed… many Russian warplanes and armored vehicles were destroyed…" This was debunked by a CNN reporter who drove out to take a look and found[»] the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV) just chilling on the perimeter of Antonov airport in Hostomel and he saw no destroyed Russian warplanes and armored vehicles.
➡5. Zelensky lied falsely announcing the heroic resistance and deaths of Snake Island guards[+] in a video, saying each guard would be posthumously bestowed with the title Hero of Ukraine but it turned out to be a media hoax[+] as Ukrainian guards did not “heroically die rather than surrender” but turned up alive as Russian captives[+]. All 82 of those “heroic” soldiers surrendered after all[+]. Embarrassing! In an effort to spark heroism and resistance while lacking true heroes and role models, Zelensky and his PR team[+] invented or spined[+][+]a story together with alleged evidence in form of an audio recording[»][»]. The tall tale was widely reported[+][+][+][+] of some 13 border guards being offered a frightening ultimatum by an advancing Russian military unit: Surrender or face an attack. The Ukrainian guards allegedly responded with a brave refusal and some swearwords before apparently being killed. Audio[»] of the exchange went viral on social media, and the clip posted on 24 February 2022 received millions of views on YouTube glorifying the guards as heroes of resistance. But just days later, it turned out to be fake news as they did indeed surrender to the Russian navy[+]. Ukrainian officials confirmed in a Facebook post[+] that the men were still alive, taken prisoner by Russian forces, which means that the guards did not heroically resist but they surrendered. The guy who allegedly refused to surrender was released from captivity a month later in a prisoners exchange and then given a medal[+] – what for? He did surrender. For mere swearing? Lie, spin, medal for surrendering – a true hero's journey, Kyiv style😊.
➡6. Zelensky lied[+][»][»] that “We did not provoke this war” in September 2022 when addressing UN General Assembly. The full list of many Ukrainian provocations with explanations is available in the segment called Not An “Unprovoked” Invasion[*]
so, here we just point to some of them for the sake of backing up our claim with evidence, proving this Zelensky's lie: Kyiv launched a so-called “anti-terrorism operation”[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+] from 8 April 2014-2022 with Ukrainian National Guard packed with neo-Nazis killing and tyrannizing Russian ethnic minorities in Eastern Ukraine (Donbas) for eight long years – killing around 14.000[+][+][+] ethnic Russians, injuring around 54.000 of them, torturing[»] and tyrannizing many more, and forcing 2,6 million people to flee by the time Putin sent his troops on 24 February 2022; Ukraine violated Minsk agreements[+][+]; 8 June 2017, Ukrainian parliament passed a law (bill No. 6470) making integration with NATO a foreign policy priority[+], thereby violating their own 1991 Declaration of Independence[+][+][+] and all treaties with Russia (they promised to remain neutral); 7 February 2019, Kyiv changed[+][+][+] the Constitution switching from neutrality to stating Ukraine's strategic objective to join NATO; 19 February 2022, at the Munich Security Conference Zelensky announced8[+][+][+] reacquiring nuclear weapons (against Russia); 24 March 2021, Zelensky signed National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021[+] to de-occupy Crimea from Russia with military measures[+][+]; in August 2021, Zelensky initiated a summit of the Crimea Platform for the “deoccupation of Crimea” where he pledged[+][+] to return Russia-annexed Crimea; by early December 2021, the NATO-backed Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125.000 troops[+][+] at the borders of Donbas9 against the Russian ethnic minorities; on 1 February 2022, Ukraine formed[+] the Territorial Defense Forces (TDF) as the new branch of the Armed Forces serving as a military reserve force; since 16 February 2022, OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine reported[+] a massive spike[ꚛ][+] in Ukrainians shelling Russian ethnic minorities in Donbas. Clearly, all these and many more were explicit provocations. The squirrel in this video[»] reminds us of Zelensky, first he killed thousands of ethnic Russians in Donbas for many years since 2014 and now plays a victim of "unprovoked invasion" and pretends to be innocent.
Zelensky claiming the war was unprovoked is also like a toddler with chocolate all over their face saying, "I didn't eat the cake!"😊
➡7. Zelensky lied[+] that Ukraine was not behind the first explosion on the Crimean Bridge in October 2022. “We definitely didn’t order it,” he told Canadian television channel CTV News. This was then debunked as a lie when Vasyl Maliuk, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) admitted[+][»] to attacking Crimean Bridge in 2022. This lie was further exposed by many Western publications[+].
➡8. Zelensky lied[+] on 15 November 2022, the night of the missile that struck Poland[+] killing Polish civilians that “Russian missiles hit Poland, the territory of our friendly country. People died… This is a Russian missile attack on collective security!” We all know now that this was a Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile, as Polish[+] and NATO officials[+], including US President Joseph Biden[+] have since confirmed. Liar, liar, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire. Even so and despite all the mounting evidence, Zelensky was still sticking to his line[+], further blaming Russia for the strike, which proves that it was not the case of him not knowing the truth at first and later finding out the truth, as he also never apologized for falsely blaming Russia. Or maybe he has no decency to admit when he is wrong. It is likely that this was meant as a Ukrainian false flag operation to blame it on Russia attacking a NATO country and so get NATO to join the war with troops on the ground as per Article 5 of the NATO Treaty. Zelensky claimed that this was Russians firing missiles at NATO territory and calling for NATO intervention.
➡9. Zelensky lied[+][+] on 3 May 2023, after the drone attack on Kremlin[+]:"We don't attack Putin or Moscow. We fight on our territory. We are defending our villages and cities." Sure. Why would Kyiv ever want to attack Kremlin other than with profanities, right? No doubt it was just a rogue pigeon with a grudge and grenades on a solo mission😊. Case closed. But some 20 days later, The New York Times[+] and CNN[+] exposed his lie. American spy agencies suggested it was part of a series of covert operations orchestrated by Ukraine’s security services. There were many other (before and after) attacks on Moscow's civilian buildings and other Russian places[+], which were all widely acknowledged as Ukrainian attacks, further exposing Zelensky's lie about Ukraine not attacking Moscow and only fighting on Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine’s military “intelligence”10 chief, Kyrylo Budanov, exposed Zelensky's lie, too, when he said in an interview in September 2023[+] “Let's put it like this, we have never confirmed [attacks on Moscow] officially (Budanov laughs) and I will be keeping that stance. But I can share my opinion about those strikes.” He then gave the Ukrainian motives for that and other drone attacks on Moscow: “…Especially when we're talking about the obviously decreasing demand for Russian weapons because when the whole world sees that some drones are attacking Moscow, nobody wants to buy Russian air defense systems any longer. And that is very painful for them.” “This shattered their illusions of safety”[+]. Budanov also acknowledged[+][+][+] that his agency is behind terrorist attacks against a number of media personalities in Russia and made a horrific promise[+] to “keep killing Russians anywhere in the world” (that includes Moscow), which further exposes Zelensky's claims as mere lies.
Time for a joke 😊
Ukrainian commander: “Mr. President, Kremlin is now liberated.”
Zelensky: “Crimea! I said Crimea!”
➡10. Zelensky lied[+][»] in July 2023 about Russians intending to blow up their own Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) and allegedly “placing explosives on the roof of several power units of the ZNPP”, which was then exposed as lie by Kyiv’s “Intelligence” chief Budanov[+] and the UN nuclear watchdog[»][+][+][+] – International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found no mines or explosives on the roofs of the Russian-held ZNPP. US officials claimed that NATO would enter into the war if Russia makes a nuclear attack in Ukraine (which would harm neighboring NATO states), thus, with a failing counteroffensive, desperate Kyiv regime seeks to draw NATO directly into the conflict by attempting to stage a false flag operation causing a nuclear catastrophe, which Budanov admitted[+] after all attempts failed. Reminiscent of false allegation of Iraqi WMD and Syrian chemical weapons, it became obvious that this time it would not pass, especially because of a missing motive for the Russians to blow up their own power plant that provides power, electric energy, to their people and that would radiate Russian people living there and contaminate agricultural fields under Russian control. If Russia wanted for some reason to blow up a NPP, it would make more sense to do it on a NPP under Ukrainian control rather than Russian, such as Rovno NPP, and Khmelnitsky NPP. The main levers of propaganda were concentrated in the corrupt hands of Zelensky's main adviser Podolyak who capitalized on the hysteria with the ZNPP as his wife owns the largest pharmacy chain, which catered to Ukrainians who in a panic ran to pharmacies to buy iodized potassium. Billions went into the pockets of Podolyak family[+]. Most likely a share went to conspirer Zelensky. More here[+].
➡11. Zelensky lied[»] in July 2023 about Crimea thriving when it was part of Ukraine but suffering since being part of Russia while, as usual, providing no evidence to back up his claim. On the contrary, there is plenty evidence[»] of Crimea being economically repressed under Ukrainian rule with the before and after statistics and pictures. Before the secession and annexation in 2014, Crimea had a GDP of $4,3 billion ($1.790 per capita). The average salary was pitiful $290 per month. The budget deficit was enormous at $1,5 billion. Just two years after its secession and reunification with Russia in 2016, Crimea had a GDP of $7 billion ($3.000 per capita) and the salaries doubled. And 10 years later, the Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov said[+] that he was grateful for Crimea’s return to Russia, to their historical Motherland, as due to Moscow's support, the Gross Regional Product increased by 270 percent while Crimea’s own profits grew by more than five times and 90.000 new jobs were created. Over ten years, the volume of gross regional product in Crimea has increased by 3,7 times, in Sevastopol - by 8,7 times! In terms of the quality of life, the Republic of Crimea rose to 45th place from 76th place ten years earlier under Kyiv regime. It would be even much better if Ukrainians haven't sabotaged Crimea's development by cutting the access to water, which extremely damaged agriculture (the main branch of the Crimean economy) and tourism, to name just a few Ukrainian-caused disadvantages. Anyone is free to draw their own conclusions if this act of Ukrainian retaliation on the Crimean population is decent and whether it shows how much Ukraine cares about what happens to Crimeans. All civilized states should be virtues-driven rather than flaws-driven. Vengeance is a flaw, not a virtue.
➡12. Zelensky lied[+] about Kostiantynivka marketmissile strike[+](a Ukrainian-controlled town in Donetsk region) onthe 6 September 2023, blaming “evil Russian terrorists” for the attack, and many media outlets took his words as gospel and did the same without any fact-checking[+][+]. But investigative reporters of the New York Times11 exposed him as a liar as they run an investigation and article[+] about that strike that killed 16 civilians and injured 33 others. They collected and analyzed evidence, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, the direction from which the missile flew in, witness accounts, and social media posts, and attested that it was Ukrainians misfiring a 9M38 missile. Not expecting the allies to doubt him and investigate it, initially, Zelensky condemned the attack, describing[+] it as "The audacity of evil. The brazenness of wickedness. Utter inhumanity." Well, all these descriptions then apply to Ukraine now that we all know that Ukraine killed their own people again and then blamed it on Russia again! Those reporters also wrote about the coverup of Ukrainian authorities who tried to prevent journalists from accessing the missile debris and impact area in the strike’s immediate aftermath, which furthermore proves they knew it from the start who did it, so Zelensky was caught lying. It may be an accident but it may also be a false flag operation at the time US Secretary of State Blinken was visiting Kyiv to use it to outrage and so compel the US to provide more aid and stop pressuring Kyiv to freeze the conflict12. Zelensky’s initial outrage about that strike was so convincing, you’d think he was auditioning for a Shakespearean tragedy – until the plot twist revealed his own script😊.
The realpolitik geopolitical analysts from The Duran[»] suggest that this White House publication revealed it to force Zelensky to freeze the conflict, which in the White House's view would be the best for Ukraine given that the Ukrainian counteroffensive failed, and would be the best for the US, too, as it needs an exit strategy because it is unable to sponsor the war much longer due to negative ROI and it doesn't want to come across as abandoning Ukraine (as it did with Afghanistan and many others, which would alarm Taiwan), which is why it makes pressure on Zelensky to freeze the conflict. The US has a bigger fish to fry with its escalating conflict with China (using Taiwan as a proxy). The Duran and some other geopolitical analysts justify their claim with curious timings. The missile strike occurred on the day when Blinken visited Zelensky in Kyiv and the humiliating New York Times article came out on the day when Zelensky visited Blinken in New York. The White House wanted to humiliate Zelensky so that he would not dare to pester them about more aid during his visit and speech at the UN and the US Congress, and more so that he would accept freezing the conflict[+] (like in three other former Soviet states[+], or Cyprus, Israel, Kashmir, and Korea). In the prior weeks of September 2023, Blinken, Johnson, and Baerbock visited Kyiv to try to persuade Zelensky to a Korea-style freeze and armistice[+] but to no avail, so they started exposing Zelensky's lies to push him to a corner (if he doesn't play ball, we expect their next step would be to expose his corruption). Zelensky lied[+] that Russian “terrorists” attacked the civilians in Kostiantynivka although it was a Ukrainian missile. It turns out, it was not the Russian evil, as he put it, but Ukraine's.
➡13. Zelensky's lied[»] that “people cannot be taken from the street in the Armed Forces of Ukraine” but countless footages show a different reality of forced mobilization with guys being snatched from streetswith Ukrainian recruitment officers roam the streets like a pack of hyenas beating up and kidnapping men[»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»]
➡14. Zelensky lied[+] that Russia had a plan to "destroy" Moldova, according to Ukrainian intelligence. He mentioned some mysterious documents that show who, when, and how Russia was going to break democracy of Moldova and establish control but neither did he ever show any evidence nor did alleged event happen. He is using every opportunity to trash his enemy and to interfere in the politics of his allies to serve him. Did Russia destroy Moldova or attempted to do it? No. So, he lied.
➡15. Zelensky lied[+] in early-November 2023 that the battlefield was not at a ‘stalemate’ during much-hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive but a few days before, then-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said[+] to the Economist that the war was at a stalemate. Who do you think knew better what the situation on the battlefield was? Our chronology of key events[+] also confirms that Zaluzhnyi was right and Zelensky was lying – amidst what was advertised to be the greatest counteroffensive in the history of humankind, so to speak, Ukraine had not liberated anything for almost two months – since 17 September until then and before that, their last conquest was on 28 August, and Russians were not making any advances either as they were on the defensive at that time. Normally we would not report such a minor thing as a lie if it were not for the big agenda behind it. Zelensky lied and demeaned his then-Commander-in-Chief for two big and mean reasons: 1) to cajole and persuade allies to keep the faith and money flowing and 2) to undermine General Zaluzhnyi who was his main rival if presidential election would have gone through, which was not settled by then.
➡16. Zelensky lied[»] in November 2023 that Ukraine inflicts 5 times more casualties on Russia, in May 2024 he lied[»] that Russians casualties are 8 times more, and in June 2024, he lied[»] it was 6 times, all of which he never bothers to back with any evidence because he expects us to take his word as a gospel. His claims can't be corroborated because he hides the facts regarding Ukrainian casualties’ numbers but it can be easily debunked by stating the obvious: if this is so, why then aren't Ukrainians defeating the Russians or pushing them away??? Why did then Ukrainian counteroffensive and Kharkiv defense failed – why was then Ukraine defeated? In Russian May 2024 Kharkiv offensive[*], by then, Russians captured 17 villages in just first 10 days. If Ukrainians inflict 500% or 800% more losses on Russians, this should be manifested by Ukraine taking back their land. Also, since Kyiv gives us alleged Russian losses, then according to his claim, Ukrainian losses can be then calculated by dividing the Russian losses’ figures by five. So, by that date, 8 November 2023, Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported[+] that they liquidated by then 307.640 Russians, which would mean that, according to Zelensky's 5:1 ratio, Ukraine suffered around 61.528 losses in persons by then. However, every other source puts that figure at much, much higher number, some claimed as many as almost half a million[+]. We provide evidence on casualties in a separate article[*], which further proves Zelensky's lie about that. Some evidence takes into account the number of new graves with flags, obituaries, and "dead" SIM cards, as well as claims from experts such as former US CIA analysts and high-ranked veterans who are no longer obliged to obey and fall in line with the official narrative. Russians also provide figures, which they claimed to get by intercepting Ukrainian commanders’ conversations with their seniors whom they give daily reports. In December 2023, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that Ukraine lost over 383.000 men[+], which also matches other sources[+][+][+][+]. In early-January 2024, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General and ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko estimated[+][»] on Ukrainian TV that Ukraine lost 500.000 soldiers, killed or seriously wounded, since the start of the Russian SMO.
➡17. Zelensky lied[+][»] in November 2023 that Russia was preparing to start a war in the Balkans to divert attention from the ongoing war in Ukraine. A few days later, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg exposed[+] Zelensky's pathetic lie: “We do not see any imminent military threat from Russia against any NATO ally or region… We monitor closely what Russia is doing... We have a military presence in this region with KFOR, with a headquarters in Sarajevo and actually also an office in Belgrade.” So, who do you think knows better if Russia was preparing to start a war in the Balkans?
➡18. Zelensky lied[+][»][»] to Americans on Fox News in December 2023: "I think the most important thing to understand what's going on that Russia didn't occupy any Ukrainian village during this year," when everyone knows that Russia did seize Soledar, Bakhmut/Artyomovsk, Khromove, Maryinka, and some villages surrounding them and Avdeevka. In 2023, Russia captured more territories than Ukraine did, although it was Ukraine that launched what was supposed to be the greatest counteroffensive in human history (the way it was advertised). Russia captured 8 towns and villages[+] (a total of 1.1.869[+] captured Ukrainian towns and villages by the end of 2023) while Ukraine captured just 14 villages, most of which Russia recaptured back in 2024. As NYT reported[+][+], in 2023, Ukraine gained 143 square miles (370 km2) while Russia gained 331 square miles (857 km2), which means that Russia gained 188 square miles (487 km2) more than Ukraine.
Also, he omitted to mention that because of Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russia was on the defensive during most of 2023 as well as the humiliating failure of his army as well as colossal losses that Russia inflicted upon Ukrainian Armed Forces. But then again, he is actually telling the truth because Russia didn't occupy any Ukrainian village as it liberated them, as the locals phrased it[»].
2023 🇺🇦 14 : 8 🇷🇺 or 370 km2 : 857 km2 (altogether 1.868 Ukrainian cities and villages)[+]
➡19. Zelensky lied[+][»] in December 2023 during a joint press conference with Joe Biden while fundraising in the US: “We’ve gained victory on the sea. We’ve destroyed Russian ships. We drew the remnants of their fleets to Russian territorial waters.” Ukraine did attempt dozens of attacks on the facilities and vessels of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Crimea, with the use of naval and aerial drones as well as Western-supplied cruise missiles but most of these were successfully repelled. They damaged only a couple of docked ships that were never used during this war anyway. Moreover, why is grain export by sea stopped if Ukraine had a victory there??! This triumphalist propaganda is so pathetic and as false as if Russia would claim victory in Kyiv based on many Russian drones and missiles hitting Kyiv.
➡20. Zelensky lied[»] again during the same event in December 2023: “We have shown [that] no Russian missiles can outdo the powerful American Patriot system.” However, just days after first Patriot arrived to Kyiv, on 16 May 2023, Russians disabled its five launchers in a missile attack on Kyiv[+][+][+]which destroyed it as evidenced by the fact that the Patriot system was unable to defend against Russian air strike[+][+][ꚛ] on HUR13 HQ on 29 May, and many other targets[»][»][+]. Also, a couple days after Zelensky lied, the Patriot system that Germany delivered to Ukraine was also destroyed in Kherson region[+][»], which further proves that Patriot can't even defend itself let alone all other targets in its sphere. Zelensky was obviously there working as a salesman for Patriot manufacturer – the US defense contractor Raytheon, helping them to sell it to other countries after it got bad reputation of not defending Kyiv as it should have. The Patriot missile system's sales pitch by Zelensky: "It's so good, the enemy will waste their missiles trying to hit it... oh wait."😊
➡21. Zelensky lied[»][»] in December 2023 spoke to the Latin American journalists during his visit to Argentina: “Russia is always directly or indirectly involved in all conflicts in the world.” We are bored with this constant, relentless “Russia did it narrative.” Surely it was Russia that bombed Serbia, Libya, Yemen, invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and many other places. Did he perhaps meant to say the US? Or that Russia has been involved but in the capacity of helping the local governments defend themselves from NATO invasions? Most likely not, which is why we count it as a lie.
➡22. Zelensky lied[+] in December 2023 that Kharkiv Oblast fortifications are the strongest, but when in early May 2024, Russians launched their offensive (to create a buffer zone due to Ukrainians constantly shelling civilians across the border in Belgorod and Bryansk regions), they seized 11 villages in just 36 hours and Ukrainian troops in Kharkiv told BBC[+] that “There was no first line of defence... The Russians just walked in.” Another soldier confirmed[»] that there were no fortifications at all. Here is just one video evidence[»] of Ukrainian drone operators observing how Russian units are just calmly walking in towards a Ukrainian position without being attacked. Obviously Zelensky lied, put on a show, as usual, and pocketed the money the West gave him to build fortifications. His gang member quasi-admitted it on Ukrainian TV[»] in a Freudian slip: “We stole $1 billion … ehhhm sorry, invested into fortification.” Oopsie daisy! Guess those fortifications were built using advanced invisible materials😊? No one got fired over that. Zelensky knows.
➡23. Zelensky lied[+][+] twice in January 2024 that he didn't want to meet with the Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang at the WEF in Davos or in Bern because they are not on the same level and that he doesn't bother to speak to anyone who is not on his level (president).
He said that after he was offended when pro-Ukrainian Politico reported[+] that Chinese delegation refused to meet with him there (to waste time again about discussing his irrational “peace formula”), so he tried to convince us that it was the other way around[+], that he was the one who refused to meet the Chinese PM Qiang, which was very pathetic of him since Qiang or the Chinese never requested a meeting with him anyway (why would they want to meet a beggar who only meets people to beg for funds for his war). A Ukrainian official said there was no meeting with Chinese officials on their delegation’s schedule but omitted to mention that this was because the Chinese did not want to schedule a meeting. There was also no spontaneous meeting at the WEF and Chinese were not present at any Zelensky’s pseudo “peace formula” talks.
Apart from it being a very arrogant statement not worthy of a honorable statesman (but dishonorable one), this was a blatant double-lie as he did want to meet[+] the Chinese there and he indeed meets officials[+] of all "levels" – already there at Davos[+][+][+][+] as well as countless times before such as German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock[+][+], US Secretary of State Antony Blinken[+][+], National Security Advisor Sullivan[+], Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin[+], etc. The evidence that Zelensky indeed wanted to meet with the Chinese delegation was reported by Politico[+] and others such as CNBC[+] previously citing the intention stated by Ukraine’s presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak14 who said “it was important that Russian ally China was at the table when Kyiv convenes further meetings on its peace formula in Davos”. Insulted Zelensky made a fool of himself and left Davos empty-handed and without anyone’s pledge of financial support, which may be result of his lying, which, one way or another, never pays off.
➡24. Zelensky lied[+][+] in February 2024 that only 31.000 Ukrainian troops had been killed in the two years of the war, but he did not bother to back his claim with any evidence because, as usual, he expects us to take his word as a gospel, which is exactly what all Western mainstream media did whereby not a single journalist questioned it. But many MSM mentioned[+][+][+] that US officials said half a year earlier the number was already then closer to 70.000, effectively saying that Zelensky lied and in April 2024, the Washington Post reported[+][+] that “A Ukrainian lawmaker… said they believed Zelensky… vastly downplayed the war’s true toll…presented as lower to avoid disrupting an already-struggling recruitment and mobilization drive.”“Downplayed” is a fancy way to say that he lied. We reckon he lied for another reason: to convince American lawmakers to approve a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine because they were concerned that Ukraine has manpower shortage and therefore additional weapons would not help if there are no enough soldiers to use them.
To put it in context, in the same period, over 220.000[+] Americans died of drug-overdose; or in 2022 alone, 670.000[+] people younger than 75 died of cardiovascular disease in the US, and 39.000[+] in the UK, which would mean that Russians and war are not nearly as bad as drugs or heart disease.
We reveal this war casualties in a separate article[*].
How can Zelensky claim having less than 31.000 dead soldiers while arranging to open the world’s biggest cemetery?! In August 2023, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allocated[+] 266 hectares to create a new gigantic military cemetery (National War Memorial Cemetery) in Kyiv region with a burial place for 600.000 to 800.000 people. That's on top of what was announced[+] in April 2023 by Kyiv mayor Klitschko – the construction of a 100 hectares military cemetery that has already begun in Kyiv. And these cemeteries are not the only place where a large number of bodies are buried – just look at these videos[»][»] of hundreds of graveyards in Ukraine to gain a perspective on Ukrainian losses. Some graveyards are so big[»], one needs a car just to get to a grave driving through the cemetery! A commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine compared Zelensky to Pinocchio to the New Yorker magazine[+]. Zelensky’s claim can't be corroborated because he hides the evidence but it can be easily debunked by stating the obvious: if this is so, why then are Ukrainians lacking manpower to fight Russia as evidenced by the mass kidnapping men[»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»] from the streets to force them to go to the war? Why did they send the high-school kids[»] to the frontlines to fight?
Also, why did then just two days later Macron felt the need[+] to send French and other NATO troops into Ukraine?? If Ukraine, according to Zelensky in January 2024[+], had 880.000 fighters in the army and around 30 million (not counting refugees) people to draw from and lost no more than 31.000 men, then why would the French or anyone else need to send their troops?! Such discrepancies indicate lies.
In July 2022, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov said[+] that more than a million Ukrainians provide the defense of the country and since then, they mobilized many more, so why are they urging[+] refugees to come back and fight if only 31.000 were lost? In March 2024, French publication Marianne reported[+][+] that the French Armed Forces estimated Ukraine needs 30.000 – 35.000 new conscripts or recruits every month to keep their force levels steady, which in other words means that, according to French intelligence, this is how many casualties they have every month.
In early-January 2024, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General and ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko estimated[+][»] on Ukrainian TV that Ukraine lost 500.000 soldiers, killed or seriously wounded. Some other Ukrainian sources suggest that there are over 20.000 irretrievable casualties every month. In November 2023, the Ukrainian military said to Defense Ministry personnel Mariana Bezuhla[+][+][+] that they needed to mobilize at least 20.000 citizens a month, which could mean to replace those who die every month. Also, former battalion commander, Yevhen Dykyi, has estimated[+] that Ukraine will need to enlist 20.000 soldiers a month through next year to sustain its army, both replacing the dead and wounded, and allowing rotations. The same was estimated by retired German Air Force Colonel and prominent military analyst Ralph D. Thiele who claimed[+] in December 2023 that more than 20.000 soldiers have to be recruited every month to replace the dead and wounded. This figure also matches the figures given by the Russians every month throughout most of 2023. For instance, in December 2023, according to the Russian Defense Ministry’s data and Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu[+], Ukraine had lost more than 125.000 troops over six months of the so-called counteroffensive, thus dividing that figure of 125.000 by 6, we get around 20.000 per month. This would mean that by the end of 2023, in 22 months of fighting, Ukraine lost around 440.000 soldiers.
In December 2023, then-Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed[+] that Ukraine lost over 383.000 men by then. The previous last time Ukraine publicly disclosed the number of troops lost was in December 2022, when an adviser to Zelensky, Mykhailo Podolyak, also lied[+] that less than 13.000 troops had been killed. All that said, it might be that Kyiv authorities cleverly and conviniently consider just KIA15 ignoring MIA16, officially recognizing only a small number of killed so that they do not have to pay compensation to their families, which is as evil as lying about the casualties.
➡25. Zelensky lied[+][+] in February 2024 that Russia had suffered 500.000 casualties, including 180.000 troops killed in action, which is six times more than what he claimed was 31.000 Ukrainian troops being killed by then. His claim can be easily debunked by stating the obvious: if this is so, at such rate, why then are Ukrainians not defeating the Russians or pushing them away?? The evidence of him lying is also the discrepancy with the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, which reported[+] that by then 409.820 Russian military personnel had been eliminated, and also US intelligence report declassified in mid-December 2023 estimated that 315.000 Russian troops had been killed or wounded in Ukraine, whereas BBC-funded Mediazona[+]17 tracked[+] 44.654 Russian casualties in Ukraine by then and estimated[+] or inflated them to be higher at 75.000 military deaths and 130.000 wounded – not 180.000 or 500.000 as Zelensky wanted us to believe, all of whom also exposed him as a liar.
➡26. Zelensky lied[»] in February 2024 when he said “We have freedom of speech, people can say what they want”. There is countless evidence to prove that to be a lie such as a Chilean-American blogger Gonzalo Lira living in Kharkiv was arrested and tortured to death[+] for speaking the truth; Ukrainian journalist Kirill Vyshinsky[»] who was arrested and judged in Ukraine for fighting for freedom of speech, Anatoly Shariy[+][+][+][+] – one of the country’s most popular journalists, prosecuted Ukrainian journalists Ruslan Kotsaba[+][+], Nazarov and Korneichuk[+], persecuted Journalist of the Year in Ukraine, once Ukraine’s top 10 most influential women, Diana Panchenko[+], 82-year-old man Yuri Chernishov[+] got a life-sentence (15 years) on charges of high treason and collaborating with Russia because he openly criticized the Kyiv regime in his literary and analytical publications (since Kyiv could not arrest him for free speech, they invented – without any evidence that he was collaborating with Russia against Ukraine); peace activists such as Yurii Sheliazhenko[+][+]; an elderly woman who replied to a reporter that “Ukraine started the war in 2014” was arrested[»] for saying that; political analyst Dmytro Korniychuk was arrested[+][+] and faces 5 to 8 years in prison for his tweets “spreading fakes about the war in Ukraine”; a blogger from Odessa Yevgeny Levchenko[+], a blogger-cosmetologist from Kyiv[+][+], and many more... Zelensky claiming Ukraine has freedom of speech is a statement so bold, it deserves a standing ovation... in a completely empty theater😊.
➡27. Zelensky lied[»][»] in April 2024 that Russian authorities were allegedly "preparing the mobilization of 300.000 additional military personnel" by June 1. There is enough evidence to prove that to be a lie such as the fact that no mobilization has been announced in Russia until that date, Kremlin spokesman dismissed[+][+] that lie, Russian President Putin and Defense Minister Shoigu have repeatedly said[+][+][+][+] that there is no need for a new wave of mobilization, and the Zelensky’s motive – at the same time, Zelensky was trying to mobilize 500.000, which is why he needed to fearmonger his people with alleged Russian mobilization. On top of that, ignorant people like Zelensky do not understand the difference between mobilization for the SMO and conscription for regular military service. Twice a year, every year, when the conscription for the mandatory military service in Russia begins, the pro-Ukrainian goons start a hysterical wave of imbecility that "evil" Putin is mobilizing an army to destroy Europe.
The same lie has been blurted by many other Ukrainian authorities such as Deputy Minister of Defense Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk who lied[+] that after the elections in Russia, “dictator” Putin will initiate a new wave of mobilization. He lied that in connection with his justification that therefore their army also needs to mobilize more.
➡28. Zelensky lied[»] in May 2024 (full interview with Reuters[»]): “And to tell you the truth, we will never use, we were never using Western weapons to hit the territory of Russia.” This lie is so obvious that it does not really need any evidence but here is some: Ukraine used[+][+] US, French, British, and Czech missiles (four French-made Hammer missiles, two US-made HARM anti-radar missiles, British Storm Shadow cruise missiles and Czech Vampire) in attacks on its border regions such as Belgorod. Ukraine used a Czech RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket system[+] s in many attacks on Belgorod region such as in February 2024 missile strike on a shopping center in Russia's Belgorod city[+] killing 7 civilians and injuring 18. US Officials confirm[+] NATO weapons were used in attack on Russia’s Belgorod oblast in May 2023as reported by The Washington Post[+] and evidenced here[+]. Not to mention that they started to use the US ATACMS and the UK Storm Shadow missiles to strike mainland Russia since November 2024.
➡29. Zelensky lied[+][+] in December 2024 that 43.000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in action since February 2022 and on another occasion the same month that less than 80.000 Ukrainian troops had been killed by then[+][»], disputing the reports in Western media, which claimed that number. He did not bother to back his claims and disputes with any evidence because, as usual, he expects us to take his word as a gospel. If for some reason he does not want to disclose the casualties’ numbers, it is fine as he could just say it like Russian authorities that he can't disclose it but what he does is, he blatantly lies about the number, which is unacceptable for a president. Even if he was pressed to reveal the number, it would be understandable if he downplayed the number to some extent like 10% or maximum 20% but to lie to such an extent, it is a clear indication how he wants to deceive people, which is monstrous because under false pretenses, he deceives people into supporting the war. If Ukrainians would know the truth that by then, according to American ABC News[»], already over 1 million soldiers died for nothing, for no gains but for evermore losses of territories, then they would raise up and demand Kyiv to negotiate a peace deal. It is the monstrous lies of Kyiv regime that keeps them fighting, losing enormous amounts of lives and territories, so that will be left of Ukraine may be annexed by the EU or ruled by Washington.
➡30. Zelensky lied[»] in December 2024 that “Russia has lost about 700.000, maybe 800.000 soldiers in Ukraine”. Proof of a lie: pro-Ukraine Mediazona & BBC[+] recorded around 84.000 Russian losses by then, which is almost ten times less than what Zelensky claimed – not ten percent or doble less but ten times less! Another proof of a lie comes from the lie king himself as in February 2025, in an interview with Piers Morgan, he claimed the Russian losses were much less – 350.000 killed (and up to 700,000 wounded) and just 10 days later, he claimed the Russian losses were 250.000 killed (and 610.000 wounded) – in other words, in 10 days, 100.000 Russian troops have somehow come back to life. Also, Zelensky is either very bad at math or a blatant liar counting on his audiences not being good at math because if that was true, it would mean that there are hardly any Russian soldiers on the frontline, yet Russians had been steadily advancing while Ukrainians had been losing evermore territories, and Zelensky himself said at the same time that there were more than 600.000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine. So, let's do the math: Russia sent only less than 100.000 troops[+][+][+] in February 2022, then mobilized only 300.000 guys in late 2022 and since then by December 2024, it recruited around 920.000 (490K[+] in 2023 + 430K[+] in 2024) volunteers or contractors for a limited time, which means that altogether some 1,3 million troops engaged in the war but many left the army after their contract expired. If half of them left after their contract expired, this would mean that over 600.000 Russian soldiers were in Ukraine, just as Zelensky said. But Zelensky was saying that those 700.000 that left the army due to either taking a leave or ending their contract were “Russian losses”. Unlike in Ukraine, Russian soldiers are not cruelly forced to stay in the army the whole time of the war, so they may leave after their contract is finished. Some stay, some leave, some die, some got wounded.
➡31. Zelensky lied[»] in April 2024 that “Putin is afraid of us” (right, so afraid that he is fighting and winning😆) and he “threatens the world … the civilization and the existence of Earth”. As usual, he provides no evidence to back up his claims expecting us to believe him as if he was Jesus and his word a gospel. To be fair, we are not sure if he lied or perhaps has a brain damage or is delusional due to drugs. Sometimes, we’re also not sure whether he is talking like a president or as a stand-up comedian that he is (in this case a sit-up comedian) because self-respecting presidents or diplomats should not speak like that. Or just projecting? Sometimes, trying to follow Zelensky's logic feels like attempting to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions😊.
➡32. Zelensky lied[»] in January 2025 why he did not go to Trump's inauguration pretending he decided himself not to go. But Trump Jr exposed[+] him as a liar posting on Instagram that Zelensky “he asked for an invite like three times unofficially, and each time got turned down. Now he’s acting like he decided not to go himself. What a weirdo.” Several other foreign leaders[+] were invited but he was not.
➡33. Zelensky lied[»] in January 2025 why he did not implement the Istanbul Agreements: “They told me I have to go out; they (the Russians) will change me to pro-Russian Medvedchuk”. But at that point[+][ꚛ], he had arrested Medvedchuk and was torturing him. As usual, he never provide any evidence expecting everyone to believe his words as a gospel but those who mediated those peace talks[+][+] in March 2022 – former German Chancellor Schröder[+][+], Israeli PM Bennett[+], Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu[+], President Putin[+][+][»],the Ukrainian[+][+][»][»][+][+] and Russian[+][+] delegations, WSJ[+],and others[+][+] – none of them ever mentioned that important detail at all but instead, all of them blamed it on then-British PM Boris Johnson who rushed to Western-puppet Zelensky and talked him out of the deal by promising[»] a full UK & NATO's support.
➡34. Zelensky lied[+][»][»][+] in January 2025 (and since October 2024[+]) about AFU killing 3.800 North Korean troops in Kursk region while capturing only a couple of them, which was then debunked by showing evidence[ꚛ][ꚛ][»][»] that those POWs were not North Koreans but Russians from Asia (Russia is an Eurasian country). North Koreans had a strict rule (imposed by Pyongyang, not Moscow) – not to be captured alive and not to surrender voluntarily – not a single Korean soldier violated[+][+] either his oath or his allied obligations, which was also confirmed[+][+] by Ukrainian soldiers. According to Zelensky in mid-December 2024[»] and January 2025[»], the reason why he hasn't provided any substantial evidence is that Russians give them Russian IDs and burn off their faces – how convenient but then, how does he know that they are actually North Koreans?! Here are his other very convincing pieces of proof[ꚛ][»][ꚛ][ꚛ][»][ꚛ][ꚛ][ꚛ][»] of North Koreans, which you need to watch for a tragicomical laugh. Russian humorously responded by trolling[ꚛ] them with waving North Korean flags in Donbas. Russian authorities neither confirmed or denied the presence of DPRK forces – it was no secret that in December 2024, Russia and the DPRK ratified the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries (signed in June 2024) and one of its points provides for the provision of military assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties. So, there have been some[»][+] in Russia's Kursk region (not in Ukraine) but already in November 2024, Zelensky either paranoidly lied or deceitfully inflated the numbers to 11.000[»][»] and 12.000[»][»], continually trying to scare[»] the West with them, constructing fictional narratives (like he did in his show-biz days) and faking evidence so as to get more aid[»][+] and convince[»] the dumb audience that it was Putin and not him (by using NATO’s long-range weapons deeper on Russian territory) that is escalating the war. Also, as Ukrainians lost more than half of the occupied territories in Kursk region by then, Zelensky tried to blame it on North Koreans, suggesting Russian army was too weak to defend itself, which is comical given Russia's advances on all fronts the whole year and plenty of proof that it was rather Ukrainian army that was too weak to defend itself. The West be like "We, the 2 trillion Defense club NATO, lost against a gas station masquerading as a country because some Asian peasants with the GDP of Monaco helped them. That is sooo unfair!"😊
➡35. In January 2025, Zelensky lied about Russia’s army – according to him, one day it is "decimated," the next it’s four times bigger than in the beginning of the war – evidently, he himself can't keep up with his own lies. He contradicted himself by saying[»] Russia’s army is 4 or 4,5 times bigger now than it was in 2022 but just a few days earlier, he said[»] (as well as his Western backers[+][+][»]) Russia’s army was decimated and Putin desperate, which is why they brought in the North Koreans! He can’t keep up with his own lies. When he needs to scare Europeans about Russians coming after them, he says how big Russian army is but when he wants to praise his army, he says how Russian army is decimated – evidently, with him, it is all about narratives suiting his agenda rather than telling truth. Zelensky’s army size reports are like weather forecasts from a fortune cookie – consistently vague and wildly contradictory😊.
➡36. In February 2025, Zelensky lied[+] about Russia bombing a boarding school (used temporarily as a “nursing home” of Russian POWs) in Sudzha in Russian Kursk Oblast on 1 February 2025 attempting to convince his retarded followers that somehow Russia deliberately targeted its own elderly civilians – you must be a retard to believe that. We are supposed to believe that Russia bombed its own citizens who were Ukrainian hostages? Even the usually compliant Western media did not dare to support the absurd Ukrainian version of the attack as they unusually published[+][+][+][+][+] also Russian version while most others did not even report it. Zelensky lies became more ridiculous and frequent with time, indicating how desperate he must be facing Ukraine's complete defeat and capitulation. Due to the lack of any substantial evidence (no debris of a Russian missile found on site; some screenshots[+] allegedly showing the flight path of the Russian guided aerial bomb does not count as evidence especially given the fact that No Russian long-range missile carrier was in the air for 18-19 hours[+]) to back up his ridiculous claim, Zelensky used even more ridiculous circumstantial evidence for which he also had no evidence – allegedly Russia did the same in Chechnya and Syria where local governments and people love[+][»] Putin for saving them from NATO-funded terrorists. Kyiv propaganda machine condemned the act as never before but since when do Ukrainians care about Russians losing life?! That alone exposes them as liars. Zelensky was again caught lying as, unlike him, Russians provided plenty of evidence[»][»][+][+][+] of this attack being carried out from Sumy by the 19th AFU Brigade, commanded by Colonel Rostislav Karpusha[+], in a false flag operation[+] wickedly designed[+] to shift the focus of public attention away from the Ukrainian massacre[»][»][»][»][+][+][+] there in Kursk region and blame another massacre on Russians at the time when Ukrainians were losing ground in that area. Further circumstantial evidence that Russians could not have done it is their following proceedings such as their retaliatory missile strike[+], Russia’s human rights ombudswoman called[+] on the UN Commissioner for Human Rights and a number of European organizations to condemn the strike, and a criminal case[+] being opened against the commander of the missile brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who gave an illegal order to launch that missile strike. Besides, Kremlin[+] and the Russian Defense Ministry[+][+] accused Ukraine of committing with that yet another heinous provocation and war crime.
➡37. In February 2025, Zelensky lied[+][»] to fool Trump about rare-earth deal. A Ukrainian MP has accused Zelensky of misleading global leaders by exaggerating Ukraine’s rare-earth wealth to secure US partnerships. The MP argued that most deposits are in war zones or in Russia's hands, making extraction nearly impossible.
➡38. 1. In June 2025, Zelensky lied[+][+][+] (along with Ukraine's General Staff[+][+][+], Security Service of Ukraine – SBU[+]) that Ukrainian saboteurs destroyed 41 warplanes and disabled[+] 34% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet causing approximately $7 billion in damages in their drone attack on the airfields[+] in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur regions in Russia in what they call Operation Spider's Web[+]. His lies about the number of destroyed aircraft have been exposed by satellite images[+][+] and reports that showed only 13[+] Russian aircraft being hit (not all destroyed, some damaged) in the attack, such as from Head of the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation Andrii Kovalenko[+][+], Washington Post[+], Reuters[+], Finnish-based open-source intelligence OSINT[+], etc.As it turns out, Ukraine hit decommissioned Soviet-era[+] warplanes from the Ivanovo plane graveyard used for spare parts[+], as the footage from Ukrainian drones shows the absence of engines on the aircraft. As evidence for the 41 figure, Ukrainians used a drone recording showing only 8 planes hit (damaged or destroyed) as well as several fake images and videos such as footage from the video game ARMA3[»] and AI generated ones[»][ꚛ], backed by Hollywood style reconstruction[»], which only proves that the whole thing was nothing more than yet another PR stunt[+] by Kyiv regime run by former show-biz guys (Zelensky, Yermak, Klitschko…) with 0 gain and much loss (like with Kursk invasion). They said the planning took 1,5 years, so they invested enormous resources to conduct this PR stunt but for what gain? A mere media buzz filled with lies and vastly inflated figures while the huge Ukrainian losses have been totally neglected, not just lost resources wasted in extensively planning and executing this attack but also huge losses from Russian retaliatory attacks[+][+][+]. They also failed to mention that they failed at attacking three airfields (only two of those attacks were successful – in Murmansk and Irkutsk regions) and that by then, Russia has destroyed over 600 of their warplanes and rendered their highly-praised F-16s totally ineffective, apart from destroying already a couple of them!
They said they used 117 drones, which means that over 100 drones failed to hit other planes, and some footage[»][»] showed quite a few missed targets and landed in the fields. Also, Russia has over 120 bombers[+], and they rarely uses more than a handful of them in their attacks, which means that they have plenty left to use and so were not deterred in the least from attacking again. In other words, this attack had absolutely no effect on anything other than on creating a media buzz, which is not only pathetic but a sign of desperation. This attack was done not by Ukrainian army but by mere saboteurs because Ukrainian army is crashed and desperate, they can’t possibly pull any wins, so Kyiv regime resorts to terrorist attacks and saboteurs to deceive the public into believing they are winning. While lying about destroying 34% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet, Zelensky omitted to mention that Russia made sure that Ukraine is left with0 planes in its strategic bomber fleet!
All these attacks happened on the eve of the scheduled second round of peace talks in Istanbul, which many Russians interpreted as provocations to sabotage the talks because Ukraine had no leverage in these talks and thus couldn’t make any demands. Neo-Nazis were not ready to surrender their lost territories just yet. The only reason this attack was bombastic is because Ukrainian triumphs are so rare that any one attack that had some success is blown out of such proportion that it makes them laughable rather than impressive. Just ask Ukrainian soldiers if that attack helped them in any way. It had no effect on the war whatsoever.
➡39. Zelensky has been "euphorically" lying about Ukraine's standing in the war[+] the whole time deceiving both Ukrainian and the world public giving false hopes of Ukraine's imminent victory and its defeat of Russia. In January 2024[+], Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing champion, threw a punch at Ukrainian President Zelensky by criticizing Zelensky’s policies telling the Western media outlets that many Ukrainians don’t understand the situation on the battlefield, as the state media only talks about successes and ignores setbacks. Even Kyiv's mayor, a former boxer, is landing punches on Zelensky's narrative – it's a knockout blow to his credibility😊.
➡40. Zelensky’s X posts get community notes exposing his lies such as this example[+] from 26 Feb 2022 about Turkey denying his claim that it has made a decision to close the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to Russian warships.
Here are also some of Zelensky's lies or twists that might have not been intended nevertheless, he did not keep his words, which also proves he can't be trusted:
In February 2023, Zelensky said[+] that to “drive someone to war with sticks” is contrary to European democratic values and Ukraine is not such a country. But what’s up with all the mass kidnapping men[»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»] from the streets to force them to go to the war and how democratic is that then?! Zelensky's stance on drafting soldiers is "sticks are undemocratic, but vans are perfectly acceptable."😊
On 27 July 2023, Zelensky said[+]: “We can quite quickly reintegrate the peninsula into the state structure of Ukraine.” He meant Crimea, of course, but if it is true, then why didn’t they do it quickly or slowly during their 2023 counteroffensive?
Zelensky deceived about the state of economy on couple occasions in late November[+] and December[»] 2023 by saying that Ukrainian GDP grew by 5%. So did his nose, said[+] one commentator 😊. Who was he trying to fool there – retards? Not even the EU[+] and German[+] GDP grew but hey, Ukraine’s surely must have! Was he saying that the termination of the grain deal, Poland's blockade of Ukrainian exports, and a record high trade deficit[+] helped improve Ukrainian GDP? If this is true or worth bragging about, why did World Bank issued Ukraine bankruptcy warning[+] just couple months later and Ukraine's annual budget deficit was $35 billion[+] in 2023 and the Ukrainian government expects a record budget deficit of $43,9 billion[+] in 2024? Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Azarov said[+] that Ukraine is already bankrupt (completely insolvent) long ago. His propaganda is so outrageous that it makes us wonder of his mental health and is exposed as a lie by all Western statistics sources[+][+][+][+][+], as none of them confirmed it. Wikipedia claims[+] 2% and Trading Economics[+] 1,4% growth in 2023. Since the GDP dropped massively 29% in 2022, it could not sink anymore, so it is deceiving to spin it and make a proud claim outside a context. The undeniable fact is that Ukraine’s economy shrunk by some 20% as about 20% of the country is in Russian hands now. In 2021, Ukrainian GDP was $200B, in 2022 it sunk to $161B, and in 2023 it got to $163B[+]. If Ukrainian economy is growing by 5% and so doing well, why was its credit rating lowered by S&P Global Ratings[+]? Nevertheless, most Western media published that trickery without any questions. That said, maybe he did not lie; maybe he is just really bad at math, like the guy on this photo 😊
At the dawn of his presidency in 2019, Zelensky pledged[+] to “never, ever shut down any TV networks.” But in early February 2022, Zelensky unplugged[+] three television networks (the 112, NewsOne and ZIK news) he accused of spreading Kremlin-funded ‘propaganda’, a development the EU has reprimanded.
Zelensky in 2019 (RUS)[»]: "Asking is definitely not about Ukraine. Ukraine is a new country, strong, does not ask anyone for anything, we can help someone ourselves." Hilarious.
In his old show[»], Zelensky joked that you need medication if you say Nazi Banderites slogan “Slava Ukraini” (“Glory to Ukraine”, a slogan that was used by Nazi Banderites18 in 1940s), which he now says all the time[»][ꚛ]. Did he forget to take his medicine? Or perhaps just embraced the irony? 😊
Zelensky said[+] in 2019 that a person can speak any language in Ukraine and saw no problem with special status of Russian language in Donbas. But Russian language was already then banned[+][+] in more than 30 spheres of public life, including public administration, electoral process, referendums, courts, schools/education, science, theatres and other culture, media, economic and social life, health and care institutions, activities of political parties etc.; Ukrainian language is mandatory for civil servants, soldiers, doctors, and teachers. The restrictive policies started since 2014 and culminated in 2019 with the language law[+] that prohibits employees of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, banks, hospitals and other similar institutions from talking to visitors in Russian language[+], the citizen can no longer contact or send letters to the officials and authorities of higher levels in Russian language; identity documents can no longer be issued in Russian language...
In January 2023, Zelensky lied or claimed that Putin was dead and all the Western mainstream media unquestionably reported that[+] as if it was true, without verifying it.
Before he got elected, Zelensky said[»]: “Russia and Ukraine are brotherly people. I know many millions, thousands of people who live in Russia and who are wonderful. We are one color, one blood.” Also in April 2014 (after Russia annexed Crimea), Zelensky said[+][+]19[+] to the Donetsk Municipal Gazette that he considers Ukrainians and Russians to be one people. He did not lie there but he lied[+] later in July 2021 when he denied them being one people, contradicting even his own earlier claim just to please his NATO masters and oppose Putin reacting to his 2021 essay[+], in which Putin wrote that Russians and Ukrainians were one people – a single entity.
Team Zelensky’s lies
There are many more instance with evidence of Zelensky's lies but we assume the ones given here suffice. Now that we proved that Zelensky can't be trusted, to boot it, we now prove that Team Zelensky (domestic and abroad) can't be trusted either. Here are just a few pieces of evidence of lies of his inner circle and allies, which he allows – meaning, Zelensky willingly surrounds himself with liars:
On 25 March 2024, Kyiv mayor Klitschko lied[»] that Russian rocket destroyed the educational institution in Kyiv but Ukrainian secret service SBU confirmed[+] that their office was the target of that attack, which also evidence[ꚛ][ꚛ] shows. Like Google maps showing[ꚛ] that the building was “civil defense headquarters” (Ukr. shtab tsyvilʹnoyi oborony). Obviously secret service agency does not reveal its premises on Google, thus it was not designated as such. The nearby academy was not hit but Klitschko wanted us all to believe how evil Russians are hitting educational institution and said nothing about civil defense headquarters, let alone about SBU HQ there being hit.
On 9 November 2023, both the Kyiv Independent20 and then-Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov lied: Ukraine making 'huge gains' in occupied Crimea[+]. They called a minor damage to a Russian vessel 'huge gains' to deceive the public. Pathetic. Calling minor damage "huge gains" is like saying you won the lottery because you got a prize for matching three numbers😊.
On 30 August 2023, Ukrainian state media reported[+] that then-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhnyi, personally claimed that overnight the Ukrainian air defense shot down every single Russian cruise missile launched and kamikaze-drones, including in attack on Kyiv but the Guardian exposed it as a lie when they published footage[»] of a night-time explosion at a facility in Kyiv. Liar, liar, pants on fire! It was not the first or last time that Zaluzhnyi was caught lying, which is unworthy of his status. We never caught Russian counterpart General Gerasimov lying. Only then, Kyiv authorities had to correct their false report but downplaying the impact not to get their folk too worried and lying that civilians were targeted[+].
According to the Ukrainian defense ministry[+] in June 2023, Russian losses in Bakhmut were 'nine times' more than Ukraine's but somehow they won that battle anyway although they mobilized less soldiers than Ukraine and used the convicts too fight instead of trained soldiers! Kyiv authorities must be very dumb to make such senseless claims, or they expect their audiences to be dumb.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak stated[+] that Kyiv had nothing to do with the attack on the Kremlin[+] because such actions achieved nothing for Kyiv on the battlefield. However, as we already wrote, some 20 days later, The New York Times[+] and CNN[+] as well as Ukraine’s military “intelligence” chief, Kyrylo Budanov[+] exposed this as a lie.
Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Budanov lied[»][+] in January 2023 that Putin is terminally ill with cancer, an assertion that US intelligence officials dismissed[+] as a lie or falsehood, but is also evident in reality as Putin is constantly in the news looking healthy and vibrant as well as running for a fourth term as president (know any cancer patient running for office?). As a head of an intelligence agency, he should know such things rather than just project wishful thinking. He also lied that Putin was dead[»]. If Ukrainian Head of Intelligence is so “intelligent”, then imagine how “intelligent” are others.
Budanovadmitted[»] to lying in general with a weird excuse: “Society does not need to know the whole truth during war … not everyone can handle the harsh truth”. He meant then, Ukraine is losing, the losses are horrible and the government lies to people to be able to conscript them in a losing battle that only benefits the war-profiteers like him. Assuming superiority over the society as a whole, in effect saying truth is bad and allegedly-weak people should not know the truth but live a lie so that ruling classes may continue to profit. Budanov plays a parent telling his children they can't have dessert because it's too sweet for them😊.
Ukrainian authorities keep lying about the number of casualties. Both, own and Russian. There is too many such instances to mention, so just randomly let's mention David Arakhamia, leader of the ruling Servant of the People party, who lied[+] on 26 January 2024 during a panel discussion, as reported by lb.ua[+] that Ukraine’s casualties are “much smaller” than the 100.000 mark many believed Ukraine to have surpassed. He said that in the context of many Ukrainians being skeptical of joining the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which reveals his motive for lying as they are desperate to recruit new conscripts. As for evidence of it being a lie and how deceitful the Ukrainian government is, there is plenty of it, including counting graves, obituaries, or "dead" SIM cards as well as reports from renowned Western, Turkish, and Israeli sources and investigators, which we list in the article on Casualties[*] of the Reality Checks series.
Ukrainian authorities keep lying about the number of Russian missiles they manage to shoot down (to deceive about their capabilities and perhaps to help their AD sponsor to sell more AD systems). There is too many such instances to mention, so just randomly let's mention 21 March 2024, Kyiv authorities claimed[+] that they intercepted all 31 missiles fired at Kyiv (many video evidence[»][»][»][»] prove otherwise but the explosions could have also been the misfiring of AFU air defense; Russian MoD claimed they hit all the targets[+]). The next night, Russian Armed Forces have launched a mass missile and drone attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure[+][»][»] (as retaliation[+][+] for Ukrainian terrorist attacks on oil refineries in Russia), which proves that Ukraine is incapable to defend its most valuable infrastructure and incapable to intercept Russian missiles.
And when it comes to US President Trump lies, there are too many lies to count (tens of thousands of them exposed on Wikipedia[+] and elsewhere[+]) and most of them so weird that we can't be bothered wasting our and your time on sharing them here – most of them totally unnecessary lies[+][»] that only serve as PR stunts or to coverup his mistakes, nothing else (e.g., help Ukraine in any way). He lies even more than Biden[+], although he might not see them as lies but as bluffing or good intentions[+] but his Machiavellian scheme (deception, strategic alliances, and exploiting others’ weaknesses to secure an advantage, prioritizing results over principles – means justifying the end) undermines the value of truth, eroding trust and ultimately yielding harmful consequences, as prioritizing fleeting gains over the integrity falls flat under the weight of dishonesty. Therefore, Putin stated[»] in 2024 that he would prefer Biden to win the US election because he is "more predictable" than Trump, which proves that Russian authorities never trusted Trump's claims. Trump has been posing as a mediator although US is a direct participant in this war, which is in fact America’s proxy war against Russia, which Trump already waged in his first mandate as the war in Ukraine is going on since 2014 (to cover his tracks, his faults and failures, he has kept parroting[+]it is Biden's war, not his war, while at the same time bragging[+][»] how he was the first who in 2017 supplied Ukraine with javelins against the Russians). Let's not forget that Trump is a narcissist and a warlord who in his first term (Jan 2017 – Jan 2021) started armingand training Ukrainians to kill the ethnic Russians in Donbas and training them to kill the Russians, including an elite Ukrainian commando force[+]; he quadrupled the Ukrainian military in size (it didn't quadruple under Barack nor Biden but under Trump), had put anti-Russia hawks in key positions[+], incl. Mike Pompeo as CIA director and John Bolton as national security adviser, setting up at least 12 secret CIA bases[+] in Ukraine targeting[»] the Russians; he established new military bases in Poland and Romania; in his first 4 years, had carried out 23 NATO military exercises[+] along the Russian borders, 11 of them in Ukraine and all of them involving Ukraine; in September of 2020, his US Air Force B52 bombers flew for the first time along the Crimea coast (just imagine how would two-faced USG react if Russians did the same and sent its bomber jets to fly across US borders); and he got two Eastern European countries (Montenegro in June 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020)[+] into NATO despite Russian fierce opposition and NATO's promise[+pg.6] to Gorbachev in 1990 not to extend NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east"[+]. During “peace” talks with Russia, Trump did not want peace but mere 30-day ceasefire to buy time to rearm Ukraine and has been continuing supplying weapons[+][+][»][»][+] and intelligence to Ukraine, as well as kept all sanctions[»], showing no real signs of de-escalation other than just mere talk. A warlord pretending to be a mediator or a “Prince of Peace” (while also bombing Yemen[+]) while he is a co-belligerent may may fool some folks but not the majority of the world, especially not Putin. Everyone knows that the war in Ukraine is America’s proxy war against Russia and that the US and NATO lost this war, too (like Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, as well as proxy wars in Angola, Nicaragua, Cuba – Bay of Pigs, Laos, Cambodia…). The US has been defeated again and Trump tried pulling back hoping to cover the US tracks and save face, which the Russians let to an extent in the name of lasting peace.
When Donald "This Is Not My War" Trump realized he had virtually no leverage to bully the Russians, his mask was off, so he did the last thing that the US could do – he removed all restrictions imposed by Biden on Ukraine’s military operations allowing missiles to strike Russia, as told[»] by German chancellor Merz in May 2025: “There are no longer range restrictions for weapons… neither by the British nor by the French, nor from us, from the Americans also not. That means Ukraine can now also… attacking military positions in Russia… We call this Long Range Fire…”. Then on the eve of Ukrainian attack on Russian nuclear triad bombers with NATO weapons and intelligence on 1 June 2025, Trump's former Secretary of State Pompeo and Senators Graham and Blumenthal pilgrimed to Ukraine to assert that "There is no withdrawal from Ukraine for the USA!"[»][+]
As for former US President Joe Biden'slies, there were also so many of them that would take a whole book to list them all and since almost everyone is already aware of it, there is no point in wasting time on that here. Those oblivious to his lies may google it or simply check out these facts-checking sites[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][»][»] and even CNN admitted[»] Biden is a liar showing evidence of his false claims about his handling of classified information. In April 2024, US President Biden casually admitted[»] that his administration 'can't be trusted'! The point is, Biden was not trustworthy for any of us to base our decisions and backing on his false claims.
“Joe Biden lied 15 times in 17 minutes of CNN interview” – New York Post
President of the EU Ursula von der Leyen has a nickname von der Lying[+][+][+] precisely due to her many lies and other features of liars such as fraud or plagiarism[+] and corruption. Germans disapprove[+] of her and were against her becoming the President for many reasons[+][+]. She lied (or presented her wishful thinking as truths) that “the Russian economy, the industry is in tatters”[+][»] and that “Russian military is taking chips from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix their military hardware”[»]. As usual, she never substantiated her claims with any evidence but it's evidently[+[+]][+][+][+] not true, as Russians have vastly superior firepower and troops[+] than NATO-backed Ukraine. Both economically[ꚛ][+][ꚛ][+] and militarily, Russia does pretty well and growing while it is her EU that is, in fact, in tatters (in recession[+]) due to her terrible leadership, which she somehow omitted to mention. . But perhaps even better circumstantial evidence that von der Leyen intentionally lied is the fact that around the same time that she often claims or insinuates that Russia is weak or backward, she contradicts herself by claiming that Russia will attack mighty NATO and therefore we must support Ukrainians to deter Russia from attacking the EU. So, either she lies that Russia is incapable, or she lies that “incapable” Russia plans to attack NATO countries in the EU, because the two contradictory scenarios can’t be both true at the same time. Another important remark here is that either she is a retard or take us as retards, when she and her buddies convey these mutually exclusive narratives expecting us not to question this contradiction[+].
EU foreign policy chief and EU Vice-President Josep Borrell21 (replaced already) has also been accused of lying on too many occasions[+][+][+][+][+][+] which made him untrustworthy along with many of his false forecasts such as that Ukraine will win this war on the battlefield[+]. Borrell's prediction is aging like milk left in the sun😊.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz[+][+][+][+][+] and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock[+][+][+][+][+][+][+] told so many lies that their untrustworthiness cost them their jobs as the public kicked them out of the office in early 2025. Apparently, 'honesty is the best policy' is still a thing, who knew?😊
Anthony Blinken, Generals Lloyd Austin, and Mark Milley lied to us about many things, such as about Russian intent to seize Kyiv in just 3 days. There is not a single shred of evidence about that whereas there is plenty evidence to the contrary, proving them lying. We provide all the evidence in other segments with that topic, such as in the segments on Russia Is NOT Losing[*]and Kyiv retreat[*]but here we highlight just the mere fact that Russians came to the outskirts of Kyiv with 3 million population and 839 km2 or 324 sq mi with just a tiny contingent of troops with less than 30.000 troops[+] is the evidence that they never planned to seize Kyiv at all, let alone in just 3 days but were there only to show force to pressure Kyiv authorities to engage in peace negotiations over the 8-year long Donbas war[+][+]. If Putin wanted to take Kyiv in 3 days, this[] is how it would look like, so let's rejoice that this is not true. The matter of fact is that it was not Putin but the US intelligence officials[+] and Mark Milley[+] himself that believed that Kyiv could fall to Russia within days or within 72 hours. Evidently, it was not Russia but NATO that expected Russia to win in three days, which exposes NATO leaders as liars when they later claimed otherwise! If they lied about such thing, then it is easy to assume that they also lied about many other, more important things, as well, and that they keep on lying. A snake will always be a snake and a liar will always be a liar. Once a cheater, always a cheater. It is acceptable to deceive the enemy about military actions because it allows for strategic advantage, enabling weaker forces to outmaneuver and defeat stronger adversaries by misleading them about their intentions and capabilities, but to lie own people about what already happened, this is not just unacceptable but immoral.
Expect them soon starring in a reality show called “Pinocchio's Political Playhouse” and update their resumes with their new ‘experience’ in creative storytelling😊.
Examining these instances where statements deviate from the truth compels us to consider a fundamental question: What is the long-term cost of even seemingly 'justifiable' inaccuracies? Does compromising truth in one instance create a slippery slope, eroding the very foundation of trust and accountability we rely on, especially during times of crisis? Ultimately, how do we reconcile the belief in a just cause with the potential harm caused by disseminating information that is not entirely accurate? Perhaps the truth, like a good borscht, is best served straight😊.
Untrustworthiness and Unreliability of Ukraine’s Intelligence Agencies
Zelensky likes to cite Ukrainian Intelligence as his source sometimes, so it might be that he is not lying at times but relying on wrong people. Either way, none of us should rely on their intel because too many times, they have proven to be lies or wrong.
Ukrainian Intelligence consists of SBU and HUR. The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, abbreviated as HUR (an agency of the Ministry of Defence, not the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) is headed by Lieutenant general Kyrylo Budanov. HUR is a military counterpart of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine), which is headed by Vasyl Maliuk. They overlap operationally, SBU tends to pursue complex missions with longer lead-times while HUR works at a faster tempo.
They are parading as military “intelligence” but in fact they are terrorists unlawfully eliminating civilians incl. journalists whom they deem as Russian collaborators, also in Russia. The word “intelligence” is derived from the Latin intellegere meaning ‘to understand or comprehend,’ but this is not what they are doing. They gather data by spying but not to understand the enemy but to find them and illegally kill them. As several Western MSM reported[+][+][+][+], they conduct assassinations and other lethal operations, including striking civilian targets in Russia with drones. In other words, Ukrainian Intelligence is a terrorist organization. In March 2024, SBU head Vasyl Maliuk bragged[+][+] that that the Ukrainian special service was involved in many assassinations of Russian civilians, in striking [+][»] Crimean Bridge and oil refineries[+]. In December 2023, Russian court ordered[+] arrest of Budanov for masterminding 104 terrorist attacksagainstthe Russia by then and in March 2024, also SBU Head Vasyl Maliuk for planning terrorist attacks and for public calls for terrorism[+]. Since 2016, the symbol of the HUR has been the owl hovering over a map of the world and stabs a sword from the sky at a blackened Russia[ꚛ], which is all bright people need to know about the intentions and “decency” of this organization. One might expect a bit more subtlety from an organization whose job it is to be, you know, subtle. For an agency that should be the epitome of subtlety and intelligence, their logo of an owl stabbing Russia is about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. Subtle, they are not😊.
There are countless cases of their blatant lies and here is just one example:
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and Ukrainian military blatantly lied[+][+][+][+][+] to Western media that they destroyed and damaged dozens aircrafts in the Morozovsk air base in the Rostov region on 5 April 2024 but provided absolutely no evidence whatsoever and none of those Western media outlets asked their sources for any evidence nor did they do any fact-checking. This was then debunked[+][+] by satellite imagery that shows no damage, and by Institute for the Study of War (ISW) investigation[+], as reported by Kyiv Post[+] and Ukrainska Pravda[+]. Also, Russia is keen to condemn Ukraine for attacks on Russia's soil but the Defense Ministry and Governor Golubev reported[+] that Russian air defense units intercepted over 50 drones in the area. Nevertheless, the Kyiv and NATO media kept[+][+][+] telling lies about it. What they didn't tell us is that instead of hitting airbases, they hit civilian targets, injuring eight civilians[+]. Videos taken from the ground showed multiple explosions not at the air base, as they reported[+] but near the air base at residential area where some private household buildings were damaged. Their claim of taking out a squadron of Russian aircraft was shot down faster than the next Russian missile they supposedly also downed😊. Turns out, the only thing they destroyed were their own credibility.
Lieutenant general Kyrylo Budanov, head of HUR (The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine)
Now, let's see how intelligent, reliable, and trustworthy source is Budanov as an “intelligence” chief:
We already mentioned how he either lied or was wrong about Putin being terminally ill with cancer[»][+], which was dismissed[+] as falsehood by US intelligence officials as well as with reality as Putin is constantly in the news looking healthy and vibrant, not to mention running for a fourth term as president. As a head of an intelligence agency, he should know such things rather than just project wishful thinking. Not to appear stupid after his claim turned out to be wrong, he tried to spread rumors[+] that Putin is indeed ill or even dead but his three body doubles took over. He makes himself a fool even more with such statements, as no body double could ever perform all presidential duties or run for president let alone make speeches. Budanov's "Putin's dead, long live the body doubles" theory proves that even intelligence chiefs enjoy a good spy thriller – especially one they invent😊.
in September 2023, Budanov also claimed that Putin was dead[»], which was obviously wrong, as Putin lives on. Budanov tried to counteract his obvious misinformation by saying that Putin had died more than a year ago, and the Kremlin has been sending doppelgangers in his place[+], which was debunked by Putin’s speeches and later by Tucker Carlson interview[»]. So, he was caught twice by either lying or being misinformed. Budanov's predictions are so off, you'd think he’d get a new crystal ball by now😊.
in April 2023, Budanov said[»] that Ukraine will return Crimea by the end of that spring. Oops, not even close! And people are still trusting his intelligence?
How intelligent is to conduct terrorist attacks in Russia[+] only to suffer from manifold retaliation from Russia every single time? When will he learn that it never pays off? On 25 December 2023, Russian court ordered his arrest[+] as he stands accused of masterminding 104 terrorist attacksagainstRussia by then. Whenever his forces conducted any sabotage or terrorist attack, they were not just defeated, most of them killed, but Ukraine suffered for it immensely with multiple times bigger losses. For instance, his terrorist attack on the Russian city of Belgorod[+] on 30 December 2023, killing 25 civilians and injuring 108 others resulted in a massive missile counterattack[+], which ended up costing Ukraine several hundreds of casualties among Ukrainian Intelligence Service and Security Service representatives, neo-Nazi Right Sector paramilitaries, Kraken unit militants, foreign mercenaries including up to 200 French mercenaries, units of Ukraine's 59th Motorized Infantry and 79th Airborne Assault Brigades, not to mention destroyed much of military equipment, artillery, and fuel depots. And, the cost of losing military lives is surely much higher than that of lost civilian lives. Plus, such barbaric attacks on civilians reinforced Russians to fight even harder against “evil Ukrainian terrorists” including to seize the Eastern Ukraine to secure Belgorod and other border areas from such attacks in the future. One has to have a very low IQ to expect that such terrorist attacks would stir up discontent that would favor the terrorists. Not smart, Budanov.
In mid-September 2023, this chief of “Ukrainian intelligence”, “intelligently” claimed[+] that Russia is running out of reserve troops and weapons. When will Budanov learn that he is only making himself or Ukraine a fool?! As evidence for his claim, he cited Russia's underperforming troops, its poor-quality equipment, and Putin's meeting with his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un. Underperforming troops – really? Those “underperforming troops” defeated Ukrainians in the Ukrainian hyped 2023 counteroffensive[+] and continued advancing and seizing countless villages, towns, and territories[+] (Khromove, Timkovka, Maryinka, Vesele, Krohmalne, Tabaivka, Avdeevka…) in the following months. Putin's meeting with Kim Jong Un is to him a sign of Russia is running out of weapons – really? Clearly, poor Budanov and his compatriots see inter-national diplomacy as a pity party or begging session, assuming others are just as desperate for handouts as they are... except, of course, they're not😊. He simply can't fathom a world where other countries aren't like Ukrainians, globetrotting holding out their empty hats. Who knows what his IQ is but surely not adequate for that job. His intelligence data on Russian military capabilities relies on such speculations? We suspect his intelligence gathering sessions involve deciphering military secrets from tea leaves and the alignment of pigeons😊.
In mid-September 2023, Budanov predicted[+] that Russia's economy will survive only until 2025. None of his predictions or wishful thinking ever came true so no one is taking them seriously but we mention it here to shed more light on “intelligence” of Ukraine's 'Chief of Wishful Thinking'😊. With all his intelligence data, he comes up with such ridiculous predictions again and again, which only proves how unreliable he and his agency are. According to more reliable sources, such as IMF[+][+], Wikipedia[+], Statista[+], and Trading Economics[+], Russia's economy will not only survive but grow, nevertheless, for some strange reason, he has no access to all that reliable data. Russia's economy grew that year by 3.6%[+][+] – more than any economy in Europe and NATO, which he should have known if even journalists knew it, just as all experts know about positive forecasts about Russia's economy. In 2023, Russia grew faster than all the G7 economies and the IMF forecasts[+] it will again in 2024! Western sources[+], including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who do not even include the GDP of new Russian regions, reported that Russian economy became the greatest in Europe during the war (despite over 10 years of draconian sanctions), yet “intelligent” Budanov predicts its collapse. His next prediction? That he'll regain credibility. We'll see how that one ages. He's become the anti-oracle: whatever he forecasts, bet on the opposite😊.
How effective is his intelligence agency when they could not prevent his wife getting intentionally poisoned[+]??? As if this alleged attempt at killing Ms. Budanova on 28 Nov 2023 does not prove a serious lack of intelligence data, what tops is the fact that they never even found the perpetrator[+] – what does that say of his or their level of intelligence?! Earlier Budanov stated that she moved into his office, and was working in mayor's office, so she must have been extremely protected and yet someone got to her. If the Chief of Intelligence can't protect his own family and find the culprit, then how reliable is he at all? This is so embarrassing and humiliating that they keep the whole incident under wraps. As usual, they blamed it immediately on the Russians but how embarrassing is that then? With all their intelligence, how could Russian agents infiltrate in the top intelligence circles and do it? This is certainly denigrating the reputation of Ukrainian intelligence agency and its chief Budanov, causing him to lose face. You'd think the head of intel could solve a domestic whodunit. He's probably still checking for Putin's fingerprints on the plate, but the suspect is not returning his calls proving remarkably uncooperative with fingerprint requests😊.
Budanov in Feb 2024: Russia does not use missiles because it produces very few of them. Budanov in March 2024: Russia has been firing missiles at Ukraine all this time and at the same time producing and stockpiling other missiles, and is now ready to fire them.[+]
Budanov and all his “intelligence” team, after 20 years, have not even found out who poisoned President Yushchenko[+] in early September 2004 (Orange Revolution)! First, they speculated and accused his rival presidential candidate Yanukovych but it turned out to be a slander only to discredit him and get more votes for Yushchenko. Yushchenko himself later implicated Davyd Zhvania, the godfather of one of his children, of involvement in his dioxin poisoning but so far no one has been found guilty for it. It may be that they indeed discovered the culprit but are at no liberty to make it public if the culprit is a CIA operative engaging in a false flag operation intended to blame and vilify Yanukovych so that US-puppet Yushchenko could win the election. Sticky situation.
“We lied, we cheated, we stole”[»] – Mike Pompeo, former CIA Director and US Secretary of State
On 24 January 2024, Ukrainians shot down a Russian Air Force Il-76 military transport plane[+] across the Ukrainian border in Russia's Belgorod region, killing everyone on board with the US Patriot missiles[+][+]. The most embarrassing thing about it was that the plane was actually carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) who were supposed to be brought to a prisoner exchange location, and Ukrainian intelligence didn't know it! American officials and journalists assessed[+][+] that Ukrainian forces had used a US-made Patriot missile to shoot it down, thinking the plane carried Russian missiles and munitions. So, “trustworthy” and “intelligent” Ukrainian intelligence agency had no idea that their POWs were aboard that plane when it ordered this special, rare type of shooting. Ukraine's military intelligence spokesperson said[+] that according to their sources, high-ranking Russian officials were supposed to be on board that aircraft – so much about “competent” and “trustworthy” Ukrainian intelligence! Let's add immoral to the list of their attributes because what they were then saying was: "we thought there were senior Russian officials onboard, so it was worth shooting it down even if that meant killing our own worthless POWs." They also misjudged[+] the plane was carrying S-300 anti-aircraft missiles. Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Timchenko acknowledged[+] the mistake in April 2025.
And then there are all sorts of other embarrassing failures such as a failed assassinations such as that of a close ally of Putin, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin on 20 August 2022, whereby by mistake they killed his daughter, reporter Darya Dugina instead, with an explosive device planted under their car. Her father, who had been expected to travel with her but switched to another car at the last minute, was the intended target. Both of them were and he still is civilians – targeting civilians is shameful. Even those who seesuch lethal missions as defensible in wartime questionthe utility of decisions that led to the targeting of civilians. As reported by US and Kyiv MSM[+][+], the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB)[+][+] closed the investigation with the claim that Ukrainian special services (SBU, which works closely with its military counterpart, the HUR, and were trained and equipped in close partnership with the CIA) were behind the killing, alleging that the primary suspect was a middle-aged female Ukrainian national who escaped to Estonia after the explosion. This corresponds to another assassination case where SBU/HUR again used a woman to kill a war correspondent Tatarsky in a bomb blast at a St. Petersburg cafe (she was found and jailed[+]). In May 2023, the head of Ukraine military “intelligence”General Kyrylo Budanov admitted[+] that they had been behind the assassinations of prominent Russian pro-invasion figures: “We’ve already successfully targeted quite a few people.” But not all; they failed in quite a few, including Putin[+], a well-known novelist Zakhar Prilepin[+]in May 2023, editors-in-chief of the RT TV channel and the Rossiya International Media Group Margarita Simonya and Segodnya[+], and many others. Assassinations of opposition figures are very common[+] in Ukraine, revealing there is no rule of law there and that Budanov's HUR is a terrorist organization rather than trustworthy source of information. Their assassination attempts have a success rate roughly equivalent to throwing darts at a map while blindfolded😊.
Apart from Budanov, other Ukrainian intelligence officials keep on reporting false information, indicating their bad intelligence. For instance, just like claiming Putin was very ill, they claimed[+] also that Chechen leader Kadyrov was hospitalized in critical condition in Moscow, which NATO media and their sources such as Ukrainian interior ministry adviser blew out of proportion saying[+] he was in coma, or even dead. Kadyrov immediately debunked it with a video[»] of him taking a walk and talk in Grozny and writing "I strongly advise everyone who cannot distinguish truth from lies on the Internet to take a walk in the fresh air and organize their thoughts." Those who were humiliated for spreading false info or fake news tried to spin it saying Kadyrov's video was old, fake, or staged but couple days later he also posted another video[»] of him visiting his uncle. Soon afterwards there were many videos and reports of him on the frontlines, meeting Putin in Moscow[»], and elsewhere, all of which show the speculations to be false and discredited Ukrainian intelligence sources. Like Putin, Kadyrov has been declared ill or dead many times. So much about Ukrainian “trustworthy” intelligence! Don't they know they ruin their reputation with such constant unreliable disinformation?
How “intelligent” or better said “delusional” the head of the Ukrainian intelligence, Kirill Budanov is, it is evident from his statement[»] that he dreams of Ukraine that is a world leader, which he said was realistic! A country that was, even before the war, ranked by Western sources as the most corrupt and the poorest country in Europe is supposed to realistically be “a world leader”! Draw your own conclusions about his sanity and so the sanity of the Kyiv regime and folk who hold him as the head of the Ukrainian intelligence! Like a toddler in a sandbox declaring themselves king of the world – this is what you get when you elect a clown as a president😊.
Watch it from 38:58 where Budanov expects Ukraine to be a world leader:
So, imagine how “intelligent” are other Ukrainians then, if their Head of Intelligence is so “intelligent”. If they have no one better for the job, no wonder they are doomed. With Budanov as their chief intelligence, their enemies may feel pretty safe and amused by all his funny “predictions”😊.
And that's all we’ve got for you on this. Don't forget to water you plants, and that you can always change your mind on whom to trust or not. Keep your light on. We’ll meet you in the next one in this “Beware of Propaganda” series: “Putin's lies”
Thank you for reading this article and participating in this peace initiative by raising your awareness and, hopefully, your consciousness and spirit. To properly grasp everything, we[*]recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative for Ukraine in the proper order, which is listed in the Contents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we recommend that you do. This article is part of the “Beware of Propaganda” segment and the next is on Putin’s Lies.
If you are interested in Zelensky, here are “Zelensky Files”:
we refer to Kyiv as a regime[+] due to its oppressive and repressive policies, corruption, and foul treatment of its ethnic minorities, such as the ethnic Russians, violating their human rights, tyrannizing, and killing them since 2014.
Prophet Hosea called on the Israelites to listen to a word from Yahweh because He was charging them with serious crimes. Hosea exposed Israel’s sins of breaking covenant with Yahweh, the God. Yahweh was taking the Israelites (with their priests) to court.
Method acting is "compartmentalizing own feelings while playing another character so as to bring the emotions of that personal feeling to cry if they needed to with that character." However, when these emotions are not compartmentalized, they can encroach on other facets of life, often seeming to disrupt the actor's psyche. Only under professional supervision (psychoanalyst), method acting is safe and effective.
It is a technique used by actors whereby they fully embody the role they are about to play by staying in character for long periods of time. Method actors completely emotionally identify with the character they play, and are taught not to compartmentalise or fake feelings, but rather be in the headspace of their character, and experience all the emotions of a scene first hand. Many actors have spoken of struggling with getting back to themselves after taking on the persona of their character, and being unable to differentiate between their own thoughts and the thought patterns they took on as part of the role.
One of the most dramatic examples of difficulty of getting out of character was Heath Ledger in his role of the Joker in a Batman movie – the character was so difficult that it finally killed him as he tried to come out of character. Both Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger complained that the character of “Joker” was a hard one to shake. More examples:
Sean Connery went to a psychologist for a while in between a break from playing James Bond as he felt he was acting it out in his personal life.
Kate Winslet’s Oscar win for The Reader came at a cost – she said that shedding the residual emotions of her character was like escaping a serious car crash[+].
Gene Hackman has also said that it takes him time to shed a character completely.
Jim Carrey got stuck in Andy Kaufman (1999 film “Man on the Moon”) and has never really recovered[+].
James Franco found it easier to stay in character between takes.
People who knew Steve McQueen well claimed that he was often playing Thomas Crown in his role in the film “The Thomas Crown Affair”[+].
Irrfan Khan played the role of a character in the movie "Life of Pi," who was stranded at sea for 227 days - Irrfan described how the role took a toll on him emotionally and how the role was "challenging" and "painful" and that he felt "traumatized" by it and he struggled to shake off the experience after the movie was finished[+].
Another example is Deepika Padukone[+], who portrayed the character of a woman struggling with depression in the movie "Chhapaak" – Deepika has been open about her own struggles with depression and how playing the role brought back memories of her own experiences, how the role was "emotionally draining" and how it took her a long time to shake off the emotions that it evoked.
Michael B. Jordan, who played the villain Killmonger in Black Panther said[+] he said that the deep dive into the character caught up with him and he found it hard to go back to his normal life and self, which is why he went to therapy.
Natalie Portman played Nina in “Black Swan” and said[+] afterward that she was physically and emotionally drained after filming: "It was the first time I understood how you could get so wrapped up in a role that it could sort of take you down."
Janet Leigh who played Marion in Hitchkock's film “Psycho” in which her character Marion is brutally stabbed to death in the shower – Janet remained forever scarred by the famous scene that she stopped taking showers entirely, opting for baths instead[+].
Isabelle Adjani played Anna in “Possession” but the intense physical and emotional demands of the role made for an extremely difficult recuperation – it took her years of therapy to get Anna out of her system[+].
Johnny Depp portrayed Hunter S. Thompson in “Loathing in Las Vegas” so well that the cast and crew worried that he was in over his head - even a year after the shooting had wrapped, Depp was still in full Thompson mode[+].
Val Kilmer played Jim Morison in “The Dooors” and after filming ended, he claimed he had to go to therapy to get Jim out of his system[+].
no evidence — they say Zelensky has been able to avoid these attacks thanks to the cooperation of anti-war intelligence officers in Russia's Federal Security Services (FSB) who tipped off the Ukrainian forces (yeah, right, like it is smart to reveal that they have an informant/traitor among Russian FSB; that's what our hero Zelensky tells us from time to time anyway because he is, you know, so gracious to tell us the truth without having to kill us all) and also, Ukraine's military told[+] Zelensky that Russian strike teams had parachuted into the city to kill or capture him and his family but no evidence of parachutes was given and alleged Chechen and Wagner troops do not use parachutes! All just talk and no substance.
The CIA has a long history of helping to kill leaders around the world, writes the British Guardian[+]: Congo’s Patrice Lumumba, Dominican’s Rafael Trujillo, Indonesia’s Sukarno, South Vietnam’s Ngo Dinh Diem, Chile’s Salvador Allende, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein but also many others. Some attempts also failed, Like Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic in 1999, and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un[+] in 2017. The US has made more than 50 attempts to assassinate political party leaders according to William Blum in his 2003 book Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions since World War II[+], which is "far and away the best book on the topic" according to Noam Chomsky. All such operations are illegal, performed for undisclosed reasons by undisclosed people, and rarely if ever is a clear humanitarian benefit identifiable.
Zelensky announced[+][+] reacquiring nuclear weapons (against Russia) — Zelensky said that he had instructed the Foreign Ministry to call a summit conference of the Budapest Memorandum’s signatories to talk about its return to the possession of nuclear weapons. He said that if NATO does not let Ukraine join the alliance, he considered the Budapest memorandum[+] (Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons[+]) void, which meant that Ukraine was no longer obliged to be nuclear-free. In other words, Zelensky bullied or blackmailed NATO officials: either give us security assurances by letting us join or we will reacquire nuclear weapons. This was a direct threat to Russia because the only enemy of Zelensky regime was Russia.
Donbas[+] is a coal mining region that was part of eastern Ukraine from 1922-2022 (now part of Russia) consisting of two Republics - Donetsk and Luhansk - where most residents have been Russians for centuries. In 2022, after Bolsheviks defeated the Ukrainian nationalists, Lenin gave that part of former Russian Empire with mostly ethnic Russian residents to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine under condition that it remains part of the Soviet Union and under Moscow governance (Kyiv administration) with Russian as the main language but in 1991, Ukraine violated that agreement by breaking off from the Soviet Union and from Moscow, and since 2014, Ukrainians had been demolishing all Lenin's monuments, therefore they have no rights to claim the territories he conditionally granted them. Since Ukrainians hate Lenin and Stalin so much that they demonize them, then in the Russian view[+], it is only fair to give back all the land that Lenin and Stalin allocated to Soviet Ukraine, without even asking the locals’ permission (the majority were Russians in Donbas).
Donbas republics Donetsk and Luhansk are the two on the most right colored in blue, part of larger area assigned to the Soviet Republic Ukraine
Main Directorate of Intelligence[+] – we put intelligence in quotation marks because Budanov and this institution are parading as military intelligence when in fact they are terrorists unlawfully eliminating civilians incl. journalists whom they deem as Russian collaborators, also in Russia
The New York Timesis mouthpiece for the US Democratic Party, White House, globalists, and neocons. It is the flagship publication for liberal triumphalism; socially progressive. It used to endorse the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
as usual, the US totally disregards what Russia wants as it suggests freezing the conflict without considering the option that Russia would not agree to that. To negotiate peace on the US terms is surely not in Russia's interests
HUR[+] a.k.a. GUR is the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, which is military counterpart of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) - they overlap operationally, SBU tends to pursue complex missions with longer lead-times while HUR works at faster tempo
“There are ... exactly two people in Ukraine who make all the decisions,” said[+] Ukrainian MP from an opposition party, Oleksii Goncharenko referring to Zelensky and the head of his presidential office, Andriy Yermak
Mediazona is NATO-states-funded anti-Russian online news site founded in 2014 by former Pussy Riot members – Russian government blacklisted the outlet as a foreign agent. One of the founders joined the Ukrainian Army, proving to be a traitor killing Russian forces.
Banderites are Bandera followers or neo-Nazis – Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera[+] was a convicted murderer, a war criminal, and an anti-Semite leader of the ultranationalist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its paramilitary wing, Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)[+][+][+]with Nazi ideology collaborating with Nazi Germany in executing ethnic cleansing & genocide of Jews and other perceived subhumans including Slavs, Gypsies, gays, etc. massacring around 100.000 civilians in World War 2. After the war, Bandera collaborated with CIA and MI6 against the Soviets until a KGB agent assassinated him in 1959.
Bandera has millions of followers (Banderites) in Ukraine today, especially in military and police forces, as well as former (2014-2019) President Poroshenko[+][+][+][+][+] and former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Zaluzhnyi[+][+][+][+]. Despite the world condemnation, millions of modern day Ukrainians glorify Bandera and his neo-Nazi followers as national heroes and since 2014 revolution, new Kyiv regime has installed hundreds[+] of monuments of WWII Nazi collaborators, including 40 monuments[+][+] just of Bandera and not one but 5 museums[+] dedicated to him, as many as 94 streets[+][+], 2 avenues[+], 5 lanes[+], and bridges were renamed after him, issuing postage stamps[ꚛ] with his portrait, and he was named an honorary citizen of many western Ukrainian cities. Since 2014, more than a thousand settlements and more than 50.000 streets have been renamed after those Nazi collaborators in Ukraine[+] – in 2022 alone, 237 streets, squares, avenues and boulevards were renamed just in Kyiv. In May 2015, they passed a law[+][+] that gave the OUN-UPA Banderites the honorary status of "fighters for independence" of Ukraine, making it also a crime to “publicly exhibit a disrespectful attitude” toward them, and in December 2018, they gave the original Banderites (1.201 people) a full recognition and the status of veterans[+][+] with all the benefits, such as the right to social security, and accolades. Ukrainian schoolbooks[»][»][+][+][+] glorify them while all other countries in the world consider them war criminals. And they teach[»][»] school-kids to be and salute like neo-Nazis and to hate and kill[»] Russians.
[+] Strana is an outlet in Ukrainian language, therefore we provide the links to the sources in English language. We could not find the original content on Strana because we do not understand Ukrainian
the Kyiv Independent[+] is an outlet funded by institutions associated with the CIA; it was created with an emergency grant from the EED, a spinoff of the NED that was established by the US Congress to take over the CIA’s propaganda efforts to promote US policy and interests
I genuinely believe that Zelenskyy believed his election "lies" at the time. His comments during the Kvartal 95 years displayed no real interest in politics, nationalism, or "Ukrainian identity", and he parodied all sides pretty much without favour.
It seems to me that he was carried along by events, and while initially well-meaning, he soon had his head "corrected" by outside influences (the US State Dept, MI6, Azov, Praavy Sektor, etc., etc.) and was set on a different course.
There's an interesting video of him showing up on the front lines in 2015, attempting to persuade some Nationalist troops to pull back in accordance with the Minsk agreements, and they flat out tell him to take a hike..
Ze has zero control over the neo-Nazi elements of Ukraine, and if they don't kill him for signing a peace deal, then eventually Kolomoisky's revenge will find him and finish him..
