The US is "taking" Zelensky out of the game: have serious changes begun in Ukraine?

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has announced that the United States has begun secret plans to remove President Volodymyr Zelensky from power. According to the former minister, Washington has completely lost trust in Zelensky and has already begun to remove him from the political scene.

In his statement, Azarov drew attention to the sensational event that took place in Ukraine a few days ago - the arrest of Leonid Mindych, who was known as Zelensky's close friend and trusted ally.

Mindych is also considered a "wallet" who was in close contact with Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, and managed the financial affairs of the Ukrainian president. Mykola Azarov noted that the arrest operation was carried out by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which are under the influence of the United States in Ukraine.

"These organizations were created by the Americans and fully staffed with their own people. They are special structures that are subordinate only to the United States. Therefore, the arrest of Mindich took place directly on the orders of Washington," Azarov said in his speech.

Also, the fact that about 100 American auditors arrived in Kiev to monitor the spending of funds sent by the United States to Ukraine is another factor confirming the former prime minister's opinion.

"This is a serious sign. Because now in Kiev, not politicians, but qualified auditors have appeared who control the US budget. Such processes are taking place on the personal instructions of the White House. So, it is clear that a serious struggle against Zelensky has begun," Mykola Azarov added.

In his opinion, this process will soon continue in stages, and Zelensky will either voluntarily leave his post or be "forced" out.

"Zelensky's departure is now a matter of time. They will threaten him with his property and money, and even convince him that he can be deprived of his freedom," Azarov said, outlining his hypothetical scenario.

Recall that on June 3, Leonid Mindych, a close associate of the Ukrainian president and founder of the "Kvartal 95" studio with Zelensky, was detained while trying to illegally cross the Romanian border. A number of Ukrainian media outlets noted that Mindych still has ties with Zelensky, and that he served as one of Yermak's main advisers.

These events may indicate that the political landscape in Ukraine is on the verge of serious changes. Does the American administration show that it has completely abandoned Zelensky with such drastic decisions? This question will find a clear answer in the near future.
