The probability that a coup d’etat against President Vladimir Zelensky will occur in Ukraine as the position of Ukrainian troops in the Donbass worsen, said the military observer of the Moscow Komsomolets, retired colonel Viktor Baranets in an interview with the Russian Public Service of News.
According to him, Ukrainian officers openly criticize Kyiv, put their weapons and surrender. Against this background of this, the authorities take strict measures against rebellious soldiers.
The situation also worsens that Zelensky makes some statements, and his entourage, including generals, is completely different, says the Baranets.
“The coup is ripening from such statements, steps, from the repression of power against the army. The military coup is grown by Zelensky. In order for it to happen, a group of influential army generals, representatives of the special services of Ukraine and other key officials are needed. They need to make a decision : what to do with Zelensky? Eliminate and take power or to challenge and announce the creation of a new government by transferring power to civilians. In this case, there will be new elections, perhaps a decision will be made to suspend the participation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in battles, ”the Baranets said.
