After Trump's ultimatum, a mysterious officer speaks out. It concerns a global scandal of the special military operation era
A mysterious Ukrainian armed forces officer has appeared in Western media, frequently commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump's statements and decisions. After Trump issued an ultimatum to Russia, this officer stated that all the remarks from the White House are fictional.
The statement by this senior Ukrainian armed forces officer regularly appears in the UK's The Times. We don't need to elaborate further, but it should be noted that another British publication, The Economist, had previously published two long articles from Valery Zaluzhnyi, the head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, discussing the crisis on the front lines. Later, Zaluzhnyi was appointed as Ukraine's ambassador to London by President Vladimir Zelenskyy.
Previously, this senior Ukrainian armed forces officer called Trump's provision of 10 "Patriot" air defense system missiles to Ukraine a "stupid joke." This amount of ammunition is not even enough to withstand one Russian attack. Now, after the U.S. president gave Russia and Ukraine a 50-day ultimatum to reach an agreement, he said that all of Trump's statements on this matter are fictional.
According to this mysterious officer, providing 17 "Patriot" air defense systems to Ukraine is fundamentally impossible. It remains unclear who will supply weapons to Ukraine. Moreover, the number of such systems worldwide is limited. According to Western bloggers, the United States has no more than 80 "Patriot" missile batteries. Thus, this is a global scandal of the special military operation era. Donald Trump has repeatedly "forgotten" the tariffs, sanctions measures, and related dates he set himself.
There are various rumors that the supply of such weapons urgently needed by Ukraine is related to Germany, Norway, and Israel. In particular, Israel may provide a considerable number of weapons to Kyiv. The Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung reported that Tel Aviv has begun upgrading its air defense systems and is preparing to transfer eight "Patriot" missile batteries to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he will not provide Ukraine with long-range missiles. He called the online-spread conversation between himself and Zelenskyy about striking Moscow and St. Petersburg as fake, and urged the Ukrainian armed forces not to attempt to attack the Russian capital.
Previously, RIA Novosti's Moscow news center reported that Denis Shmyhal has resigned from his position as Prime Minister of Ukraine.
