NATO member states are plotting to oust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from power by discrediting him, and then holding elections to switch up leadership in the war-torn country, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed on Monday.
The SVR said NATO is guided by the uncertainty regarding the continuation of military aid to Kyiv from the new U.S. administration led by President Donald Trump. NATO hopes to “freeze” the conflict, however Zelensky remains the main obstacle to the implementation of such a plan, it said.
There is no indication that such a plot exists. Newsweek has contacted NATO and Ukraine’s foreign ministry for comment by email.
Why It Matters
Trump, who entered office for a second term on January 20, has vowed to bring a swift end to the war, and anticipation is growing for the prospect of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The U.S. leader has threatened further tariffs and sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn’t end the war.
Zelensky has so far rejected Russia’s demands that Ukraine concede its occupied territory and give up its aspirations to join NATO.
What To Know
NATO “is increasingly thinking about a change of power in Ukraine,” the SVR press service said.
The NATO military alliance intends to carry out a large-scale operation to discredit the Ukrainian president by accusing him of misappropriating more than $1.5 billion from funds allocated for the purchase of ammunition, the SVR’s press service said.
“Brussels is proceeding from the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will very soon be unable to contain the growing onslaught of the Russian army,” it said.
NATO intends to get rid of Zelensky by holding “pseudo-democratic elections” in Ukraine no later than this fall, the SVR claimed.
On Saturday, Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told Reuters that Washington wants Kyiv to hold elections by the end of the year, as “most democratic nations have elections in their time of war.”
“I think it is good for democracy. That’s the beauty of a solid democracy, you have more than one person potentially running,” said Kellogg.
Putin meanwhile has claimed Zelensky doesn’t have the right to sign any documents in potential peace deals, as he has lost legitimacy because the country hasn’t been able to carry out presidential elections due to the ongoing war.
Moscow has long sought to discredit the Ukrainian government by claiming that Zelensky is an illegitimate president, although martial law prohibits elections during wartime for safety reasons.
What People Are Saying
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said Monday: “Even NATO understands that the days of ‘expired’ Zelensky are numbered. It’s just a pity that this understanding came at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “We think what Putin did was terrible, invading the country, the atrocities he’s committed, he did horrible things. But what the dishonesty that existed is that we somehow led people to believe that Ukraine would be able to push Russia back to what the world looked like in 2012 or 2014 before the Russians took Crimea.”
“And the result what they have been asking for is to fund a protracted stalemate in which human suffering continues … and it has to end.”
What Happens Next
Trump told reporters on Sunday that he has talks and meetings scheduled “with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia.”
insiders say trump is fed up pumping in money to zelenski little of it ends up where its supposed to trump is pulling the plug on ukraine and in return russia has pulled out of syria, tghis leaves trump a clear view to fight the coming war for israel
many us troops say will will not fight for israel
good luck there then
Russia may be wary US-led NATO is planning to kill Zelensky in a way they can frame Russia for it. Now Zelensky may think his best chances of surviving NATO lies with Russia, and he is Russian after all, and as part of the deal he could live in relative luxury while telling everything he remembers about the conflict and those conducting it, while handing over any important documents he might have escaped with. Those bearing high-ranking signatures or the seals of high office would be the juiciest ones to take.
Looks like Chabad agent Zelensky has played out his scripted role along with Chabad agent Putin setting up millions of whites to be exterminated–now he will be replaced with another Commie that want’s ‘peace’. Funny how they refer to ‘democracy’ in Ukraine yet the same Commie ghoul has been President of Russia for the last 30 years via rigged elections.
Sure, blame ZOG Zelensky but we all know ZOG USA and ZOG UK engineered the war right from the beginning.
theyrlying
don’t forget ZOG Putin
you’ll notice that all the posters that don’t include putin in the Jew conspiracy are likely crypto-commies. you don’t fool us
Elon Musk and his cadre of engineers are exposing the fraudulent USAID and shutting it down. Zelensky has no idea where the $200 BILLION went:

Rest assured, Team Trump is not going to fund Ukraine war any longer. Cost savings are in, this cocaine USD party is over. Expect Israel lover Trump to focus on Israel and forget Ukraine.
No worries Goyim, Ukraine will soon be forgotten.
ALL ATTENTION WILL NOW SHIFT TO ISRAEL AND TRUMP’S PEACE PLANS – THE FORCED EXILE OF THE NATIVES TO PLEASE HIS JEWISH MASTERS
but they will not leave, and expect years of bloody resistance because of Trump’s arrogance and immorality interferring into a sovereign people’s land dispute
IMO Trump is synonomous with dumbass
