Press TV – July 18, 2022
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked the head of the country’s powerful domestic security service, the SBU, and the prosecutor general, accusing them of collaborating with Russia on security and military issues.
The embattled president issued the executive orders late on Sunday, citing more than 650 alleged treason and collaboration cases and alleging that more than 60 officials from the SBU security service and prosecutor’s office have been spying for Moscow in Russian-liberated territories.
“As of today, some 651 criminal cases have been registered on high treason and collaboration activities of employees of the prosecutor’s office, pre-trial investigation bodies, and other law enforcement agencies,” Zelensky stated.
The sackings of SBU chief Ivan Bakanov, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova marks the biggest political development since the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine almost five months ago.
“Such an array of crimes against the foundations of the national security of the state … pose very serious questions to the relevant leaders,” Zelensky said, adding that “each of these questions will receive a proper answer.”
He also noted that he had fired SBU’s former head overseeing the region of Crimea at the start of the invasion.
“Sufficient evidence has been collected to report this person on suspicion of treason. All his criminal activities are documented,” he said.
Bakanov, a childhood friend of Zelensky, was appointed to head the SBU in 2019, one of an array of new faces who rose to prominence after Zelensky.
While Bakanov’s successor has not been named yet, the Ukrainian president appointed Oleksiy Symonenko as the new prosecutor general in a separate executive order after firing the top officials.
The development comes in the wake of Russian preparation for the next step of its military action in Ukraine after Moscow announced its forces would step up operations in “all operational areas,” according to a Ukrainian official.
“It is not only missile strikes from the air and sea,” said Vadym Skibitskyi, a spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence. “We can see shelling along the entire line of contact, along the entire front line. There is active use of tactical aviation and attack helicopters.”
The Ukrainian military said Russia appeared to be regrouping units for an attack on Sloviansk, located southwest of Lysychansk.
This comes as Kiev has received more deliveries of longer-range missile systems from its Western allies, despite warnings from Russia.
As the conflict continues to rage across various parts of Ukraine, Russia’s defense minister Sergey Shoigu on a surprise visit to Ukraine on Saturday ordered military units to intensify operations to prevent Ukrainian strikes on eastern Ukraine and other areas held by Russia, according to a statement from the ministry.
Shoigu met the commanding officers of the ‘South’ and ‘Center’ troops, Army General Sergey Surovikin and Colonel General Alexander Lapin, as well as other senior commanding officers.
“The head of the Russian defense ministry gave the necessary instructions to ramp up the actions of groups in all operational areas in order to exclude the possibility of the Kiev regime launching massive rocket and artillery strikes on civilian infrastructure and residents of settlements across Donbass and other regions,” the military said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, responded to Ukrainian officials’ statements that Kiev may strike the bridge linking Crimea and Russia, warning that that would trigger devastating consequences for the Ukrainian leadership.
“If that happens, the consequences will be obvious: They will momentarily face Doomsday,” Medvedev said on Sunday. “It would be very hard for them to hide.”
Medvedev said Russia will press its action in Ukraine until fulfilling its stated goal of “denazifying” and “demilitarising” the country.
Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine in late February, following Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements and Moscow’s recognition of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
At the time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said one of the goals of what he called a “special military operation” was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.

Like I said months ago, UKraine is crawling with UKrainian Russian agents and sympathisers.
We had that command post meeting which killed 60 odd UKrainian military personal, & many were high ranking. I said at the time that this went down to UKrainian informers working for Russia.
In fact, I’d stick my neck out, and say there are so many pro Russians in the Zelensky regime, that they could remove Zelensky, but that would stop denazification and demilitarisation.
The Russians want the SMO to continue, unless they get their full demands.
Key Western sheeple are now openly stating that the West doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity to fight a long conflict, and they are running of arms and munitions. Just the other day, Russia fired 49 missiles (not rockets, missiles) in one day, and this bit of data came from the UKrainians. lol
Likely this Zelensky creep fired them because they wouldn’t “entertain” him.
Analysis from The Duran made a good point when they said at this point it’s unlikely Russia will want to stop its Special Military Operation because the west is making so many cock-ups like sanctions that ultimately backfire. The west is doing more damage to itself in its attempts to damage Russia than Russia could ever do to it, so it would be folly to stop the game and put an end so many own goals. All Russia has to do is feign an “Ouch!” and an “Oooh!”once in a while and the dweebs will continue their onslaught.
Russia could do a lot more damage to the west of course but only in a hot war. The damage the west is inflicting upon itself is more damage than Russia could do to it outside of war.

all british who helped invaders over
the english chanel should be killed
as traitors without court !
It does seem as if there is a high-level Ukrainians uprising against the oligarchs’ regime. Before the sacking and serious accusations of the head of the security service, and of the prosecutor general, the b-b Zelensky dismissed the big Opposition parties and imprisoned the leader of the main one. And more recently, there was his recalling of several Ukrainian ambassadors, mostly from Central European countries, and the dismissal of another Opposition party.
I hope this uprising is actually happening. The situation in Ukraine is dreadful. The country’s young men are being slaughtered. RT pointed out that the life expectation of a frontline Ukrainian soldier is thirteen days. (Is this government clearing out the yound men of this Ukrainian generation to make sure there are plenty of desperately poor young Ukrainian widows available to fill the cat-houses of the New Jerusalem, Zelensky’s ‘big Israel?)
There is a further nugget that RT revealed a little while ago: The Russian mean income is the equivalent of US$29,300 p.a.. In Ukraine it is US$6,000. Why this difference in living standards when resources were divided equally between Russia and Ukraine in 1991? No doubt it is because the Ukrainian oligarghs (all Jews) have grabbed all the country’s productive assets.
Where is the Azov Regiment in this apparent high-level uprising? Surely they, the self-declared nationalists, actually are nationalists, not just tatooed-to-the-eyeballs thugs and murderers.
And this: Russia is inviting all Ukrainians to apply for Russian passports. Does anyone know what the practical purposes of this are? Might it be to herald that Ukraine is soon to be absorbed by Russia?
” …Kiev may strike the bridge linking Crimea and Russia…” Medvedev knows dam well that that is exactly what’s going to happen, the M142 Himar missile systems weren’t sent by Rothschild front men to Jewkraine for some pyrotechnic show when Zelinsky celebrates his birthday.
No, Rothschild want, Rothschild get, too many useless Eaters are waking up and not just to the bio weapons disguised as Waaxeenes, but to the rest of agenda, the Plandemic hoax, the Carbon hoax, the Nitrogene hoax, wheels are falling off every front they opened since March 2020, they have to make Putin and Zelinsky work for their money, the show has to take a more realistic dimension, otherwise “Seh Kheat Kheezet, woulden’t be chustfied, wold economy, or what’s left of it has to be destroyed first”.
Treason hey…
People usually lose more than their job over treason especially so if they are not of the privileged tribe.
look these folk are jew sympathisers
hard;
ly nazis
most folk dont even know what a nazi is
The term was first coined for nazareens or followers of jesus of nazareth e g christians
but later adopted as National socialists
Oh I forgot to comment on Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova whose name fits perfectly her face like a glove; https://frontnews.eu/en/news/details/22122, surely there aren’t many who wouldn’t mind coming across her in a dark alleyway, one is therefore only legitimate to wonder whether she really is a woman; “an old fashion woman, one with a momb, not a new woman, with a beard and a cock” as R.Gervais would say.
Depraved smackhead needs done in
This coke addled ‘jewish’ clown will end up dangling from pianowire with his jaw on the crown of his head…
A fitting end for the insect…
Zelensky is a THIEF who stole $850 million from Ukraine’s treasury.
Further, he’s a zio-nazi whose troops committed crimes vs humanity.
Anyone who supports him is equally guilty.

This reeks of desperation, and even the western world won’t do their “High ho Zelensky, away!”
anymore.
It actually started by making Henry Kissinger ‘enemy of the state’, bad, bad move, a blunder in a blunder! I expect a piece to be sacrificed, maybe the mentioned bridge taken out ( of course using a HIMARS), maybe a kick to the hornets’ nest to appear to rally.
He’s not peckering chapsticks anymore! In fact, he’s got one foot in the bunker/grave, the other on a bannana skin…
The coke is wearing off and the paranoia is setting in.
When a regime starts denouncing its own people as ‘traitors’ you know it’s desperate. And the higher up they are, the more desperate they are. This will only accelerate the Uke collapse.
Russia has a government agency called ‘World Without Nazism’ headed by the Jew Boris Siegel. If you haven’t figured it out yet, Russia is governed by anti-white Commie lunatics just like the West…they’re all in on it together to wipe out the Aryans as they are now doing in Ukraine…but hey, keep supporting your Commies just like you did in WWII…
Vladimir Putin is not a zionist sympather: https://stateofthenation.co/?p=119632

Thank you, Erik Blessing, for this URL. The several on this blog who make the idiot point, tirelessly albeit borishly. that Putin is a Jew, part of the NWO, etc., should benefit from it. But they will not, for their role on this is to bad-mouth Putin. And whose purpose does that serve, eh?
Sounds like Zelenskyy is getting into his “Stalin” phase. Remember Beria?

Embassy: “All Americans Should LEAVE Ukraine Immediately” — U.S. Nuclear Bombs Being Moved! – GAZPROM Declares “Force Majeure”
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/embassy-all-americans-should-leave-ukraine-immediately
A large part of Ukraine is being cleared. Who is going to move in?
Remember that the Jews are running the show. They created all this mayhem and chaos all over the world with one goal in mind : to rape the entire world of all its wealth. Remember that line from the 300 by Leonidas ? He said “GIVE THEM NOTHING BUT TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING.” Well, that’s exactly what the Jews are doing. They are currently working on draining the entire US Treasury DRY, leaving every American in the lurch, and you know what ? WE DESERVE IT. Why ? Because we absolutely refuse to stand up for our country. No one who refuses to fight for America, who just sits back hiding and cowering next to their refrigerator, deserves anything less than the Bolshevik terror which is about to effect each and every single living person. When this all goes down, don’t cry, don’t complain, don’t blame a single other soul than yourself. YOU LET THIS HAPPEN.
