General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “The Zee Office is playing as part of the fifth column of the Russian Federation”
The only force that supposedly discourages the Russian Federation from going to war in Ukraine is territorial defense, the law on which is sabotaged by the office of President Zelensky.
The former deputy secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, ex-deputy commander of the special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major General Sergei Krivonos, spoke about this on the air of Public Radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The bill on territorial defense was registered in December 2020 in the Verkhovna Rada, why is it not being promoted further?” – asked the radio host.
“We have been working on this bill for a year. First, we presented our concept at the National Security and Defense Council committee in the Verkhovna Rada. A working group was created, representatives of all law enforcement agencies and public organizations that took part in the development of territorial defense were invited.
Then, in the summer of 2020, the president’s office began to play its own game. There are even official documents from the president's office where it is clear that they influence, although they have no legal rights to do so. They sent a letter to the Committee of National Security and Defense signed by Mr. Mashovets (Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine - Ed.), where he writes that the adoption of a law on territorial defense is not relevant now, let's not rush. We have 2-3 years ahead,” Krivonos said.
“In my understanding, this is a pure game as part of the fifth column of the Russian Federation, because this is precisely the only force that is now discouraging the Russian Federation from entering our territory,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces general complained.
As one of the creators of the Azov punitive battalion previously stated, leader of the National Corps Andrei Biletsky, the goal of introducing territorial defense in Ukraine is “to train people who are not drafted into the army and are not serving under contract, who should gain new experience and knowledge on how to repel Russian aggression, which will allow, if necessary, to form defense units in the shortest possible time.”
