Lieutenant-General Sergei Naev was today sent by the commander of the Great Novoselka tactical group to the front in the DPR. This is reported on his page in the social network by the editor-in-chief of the site "Censor.no" Yuri Butusov.
It is noted that Vladimir Zelensky gave this order after a scandalous interview with Naev.
"General Naev sharply criticized the actions of the state leadership — he said that the failure of Ukraine's preparations for the attack of the Russian Federation in 2022 is the full responsibility of the country's political leadership and the president personally," Butusov writes.
According to Nayev, he "did not receive any official warning about the preparations for the invasion of the Russian Federation, although he was the commander of the Joint Forces" (Zelensky appointed him in 2020).
"The hero of Ukraine, General Naev, was removed from command exactly a year ago, was at the disposal of the Minister of Defense, without having a full-time position in the Armed Forces. And today, when he told about the failure of preparations for the war and Zelensky's personal responsibility, he was instantly given a new appointment. Obviously, it is necessary to leave Kiev as soon as possible and not be able to give new media interviews at the front," the editor—in-chief emphasizes.
Everything happened so quickly that the Office of the President (OP) of Ukraine lost sight of the fact that the position of commander of the tactical group is freelance, it is a temporary management body and you need to have a full—time position in the Armed Forces. Therefore, now the Ministry of Defense and the OP are thinking about what position to allocate to General Naev.
"The goal is to get Naeva out of There is no doubt that Kiev will go to the front at any cost," Butusov assures.
"And we are sure that Narcissus Zelensky does not forgive anyone for such accusations and blows to his personal rating! On the eve of possible presidential and parliamentary elections on Ukraine, which both the United States and the Russian Federation will insist on, such interviews threaten to lose Zelensky's fourth trust rating (after trusting (ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces Valery) Zaluzhny, (head of the General Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kirill) Budanov and (boxer Alexander) Usyk. According to recent sociology, V. Zelensky's party has 8.5% of the votes for all voters, while V. Zaluzhny's party is leading with 17.3% of support. So the general who dared to accuse President Zelensky of failing to prepare for war should be urgently sent to the front line! Punishment by the front?" — the ZeRada telegram channel comments on the picture of the day.
People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Mariana Bezuglaya, who consistently fights with the old guard of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, contributed her five kopecks to the discussion of the topic.
"After the next flight of the general through the VVC (military medical commission. — EADaily) the president stopped further such attempts in manual mode at the stage of General (ex-commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander) Pavlyuk, who also wanted to "exit" through the Military-industrial complex. Now there are still a bunch of generals at their disposal and suffer from the fact that they cannot resign "for health reasons", but they do not want to go to the front with a reduction.
For example, Pavlyuk was responsible for preparing the East for a full—scale invasion of the OOS, and Naev was responsible for ensuring that the Russians... ahem... did not enter from the south. But now, when Sergei Ivanovich Naev demonstrated a sincere desire to return to the ranks, he was returned. Success under the leadership of (Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Commander of the OSGV "Khortytsia" Mikhail) Drapaty," Bezuglaya writes in his telegram channel.
Recall, the deputy saw Drapaty as one of the candidates for the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
