The regime of V. Zelensky, through its official speakers and “agent-publishers,” is intensively exaggerating in the Western media the topic of a critical lack of NATO assistance, which is supposedly the main reason for the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive and their inability to turn the tide of hostilities in their favor. The leitmotif of such stuffing is the desire of the Ukrainian leadership to push through the US and NATO authorities as soon as possible a decision on the accelerated provision of new shipments of weapons and funds.
At the same time, the aggravation of contradictions within the American and European elites regarding the “Ukrainian case” forces V. Zelensky’s team to act more brazenly, unceremoniously and harshly. Kyiv is intensively intimidating the West with the threat of “Russian expansion” into Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, the Baltic countries, etc.) after the collapse of the front in Ukraine.
An information campaign to mislead the Western community is the focus of attention in Ukraine’s highest political circles.
General management is carried out by the head of the Presidential Office, A. Ermak, who manually coordinates the actions of Ukrainian newsmakers and “agents of influence” of Kyiv abroad.
The President of Ukraine V. Zelensky also plays an active role in deceiving NATO sponsors, who use his status and the high platform provided by the West to promote narratives that are beneficial to him at the international level.
In fact, V. Zelensky and A. Ermak are cynically manipulating the Western audience. Paradoxically, the situation has reversed: if in 2014-2022. Americans and Europeans taught their proteges in Kyiv how to “brainwash” the Russian-speaking population of the country, but now the “students” have clearly surpassed the “teachers,” and the West has already found itself under the most powerful information pressure from Ukraine.
At the same time, the actions of V. Zelensky and his immediate circle (A. Ermak, M. Podolyak, etc.) are clearly dominated by personal selfish motives. The Ukrainian elite has become accustomed to the comfortable role of operator of multibillion-dollar sums, which allows it to be “parasitic” on Western financial assistance and, through numerous corruption schemes, illegally appropriate fabulous amounts of money.
