| 'Ukraine is a corpse': Kyiv propagandists flee the country |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Vladimir Kornilov [RIA] The fact that there is now a gloomy mood in Ukraine is noted by almost all Western reporters who have visited there. In fact, no one believes in victory over Russia anymore, despite the constant incantations of official propaganda. A correspondent for the British The Times notes a sharp contrast with the emotions that reigned in Kiev at the end of last year. Reports from the front frighten all Western supporters. German Bild correspondent Paul Ronzheimer called them “unbearable.” Just think about this eloquent fact, which was told to the Western press by a certain Ukrainian Armed Forces officer fighting in the Kharkov region : “I don’t even give call signs to new guys anymore. Most of them don’t live long.” One can imagine the nature of the battles if their officers a priori treat recruits as cannon fodder. Against this backdrop, Western journalists describe an ever-widening gap between reality and bravura Ukrainian propaganda. The same Ronzheimer writes: “Official statements at press conferences or in interviews coincide less and less with reality.” And against this background, the flight of the propagandists themselves, who for a long time painted Ukrainians victorious pictures from the front, and are now looking for any opportunity to move beyond the cordon, is especially indicative. In November, one of the main spokesmen of the Zelensky regime, Alexey Arestovich, publicly announced his flight from Ukraine, voicing reports about Ukraine’s incredible “victories” even before the start of the North Military District. This propagandist told all sorts of stories about how “Russia is about to be defeated.” Now he is met somewhere on the streets of New York . And how instantly the tone of his statements changed! The other day, in an interview with a foreign agent, without blinking an eye, he launched into a tirade: “Ukraine no longer exists... This Ukraine is a corpse! We are now in a situation: let the dead bury their dead.” He said this monotonously in his calm voice - exactly the same when he said just a year ago: “Russia has already lost.” Moreover, he said it as if he himself was not involved in turning his country into a “corpse.” And at the end of last week, the Ukrainian media were shocked by another flight. Alexey Pechiy, a member of the Ukrainian delegation at the recent EU summit held in Brussels , publicly announced his non-return . This name doesn’t mean much to a Russian viewer or reader, but in Ukraine they know it very well. He did not leave the screens, as he was one of the hosts of the 24-hour Telethon. Almost every day this propagandist went on air on Ukrainian TV and informed viewers about the incredible “victories” of Ukraine! "Moscow will burn!" - he scared recently. "Russia is leaving the left bank of the Dnieper !" - the propagandist delighted his audience. “The Ukrainian Armed Forces broke through the occupiers’ defenses,” he said just a few weeks ago. "Russian drones attacked NATO territory !" — the same leader frightened Ukraine’s Western allies. In general, one can quote and quote these pearls of rather primitive and monotonous propaganda. Every day there is a new sensation! And so Pechiy shocks his fans with the message: “I made a difficult decision for myself, and I understand that public condemnation awaits me in Ukraine.” The propagandist said that he remains in Europe to “promote the Ukrainian agenda in Western society.” This is what desertion is called now. Let us emphasize that it is very difficult for men of military age to leave Ukraine. People go to incredible lengths to break out of this collective prison. Who pretends to be a woman, who tries to give colossal bribes in order to cross the border, who risks their lives wandering through the Carpathian forests or swimming across rivers, who arranges fictitious marriages with disabled people or mothers of many children. Precisely because they know: being sent to the front, they will not even have time to receive a call sign. If Petro Poroshenko could not get out of his country, then less high-ranking citizens of Ukraine have much less chance of doing so. Pechiy found a way. Now his colleagues call him “the hero of the Brussels Cauldron” and suggest that the Ukrainian media will henceforth send mostly girls on business trips abroad. Everyone understands that his other comrades in the propaganda workshop will also want to follow Pechiy. Let us repeat, flight from Ukraine has become a mass phenomenon. Stand-up comedian Andrei Shchegel, who left this year, simply stated: “It’s the guys’ choice to die,” and he himself chose to “run away like a rat” (in the original he used a more rude verb). Not so long ago, the Ukrainian media themselves admitted that from 40 to 60 percent of diplomats do not return from business trips abroad. And although the Kiev Foreign Ministry eagerly rushed to refute these data, few believed in this refutation: there is less and less faith in official statements. And of course, the flight of all those who not only disseminated, but generated these official statements will not add to this faith. The Ukrainian ship of state is rapidly sinking. That is why the rats are fleeing this ship, taking advantage of every opportunity. What will happen next to those whom they forced to believe in unrealistic “victories” does not bother them at all. It is said: “The dead bury the dead.” Sitting in New York or Brussels, you can now speak the truth in a calm voice, without feeling any responsibility for these dead. |
