DISINFO: The West will get rid of Zelenskyy and blame it on Russia

SUMMARY

Zelenskyy's death cannot happen without the US and West's consent. It can happen under the guise of a coup or Zelenskyy could be liquidated directly by his Western sponsors. Poisoning him or targeting him with a missile strike could lead to new false accusations against Russia.

The West may not need to eliminate him. But, on the other hand, he is an excellent candidate for the role of the holy victim. They can get rid of him and accuse the Russian intelligence of that.

Zelenskyy is well guarded by the British Army Special Forces, and as long as the West needs him, his safety is guaranteed. It is not ruled out that the British Special Forces would carry out the physical liquidation of Zelenskyy, as they could easily benefit from their presence near him.

RESPONSE

A conspiracy theory provided with no evidence. The statement was made in the context of the unprovoked full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The claim taps into the frequent Kremlin trick of promoting conspiracies.

Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. Ukraine has a functioning government and economy, it is a member of many international organisations (e.g. United Nations, Council of Europe), and a party to international agreements. Ukraine has bilateral diplomatic relations with the majority of countries.

Western countries respect the sovereignty of Ukraine and do not interfere in its political life in any form, let alone by assassinating its elected president. Ukraine's sovereignty has been only violated by continuous acts of aggression by Russian armed forces since 2014 culminating in a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022.

See a similar case that the US plans to overthrow Zelenskyy in a new Maidan.
