Ukraine has always been having a hard time, and it seems to be particularly hard recently. The war continues, casualties continue, and Russian attacks occur every three days. These bad news from the outside have become commonplace for Ukraine.
did not expect that bad news from within would also come one after another. Judging from what the Overwatch Observation Room has learned, at least this bad news has given Zelensky a headache.
One of the bad news, Ukrainian helicopter crashed, 18 people including the Minister of Internal Affairs died on the spot
"A terrible tragedy occurred today in the Brovari district of Kiev. A helicopter of the State Emergency Situations Ministry crashed, and something happened at the scene Fire. So far, 15 people have died, and the specific number of victims of the accident is still being determined. "
Ukrainian President Zelensky is an active member of the international community and an active person in cyberspace. Earlier today (18th), Zelensky said that he posted a piece of bad news on Telegram: the helicopter crashed and there were heavy casualties.
Associated Press , Reuters and the Russian Satellite Agency and other media have reported the news. On the 18th, a Ukrainian helicopter crashed near a kindergarten in the suburbs of Kiev, killing 18 people, including Ukrainian Interior Minister Denis Monastrsky, Deputy Minister Yevgen Yenin, State Secretary Rubkovic and other senior officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including 3 children.
Ukrainian National Police Chief Igor Klimenko said that the crashed helicopter belonged to Ukraine's State Emergency Service and that nine of the victims were passengers on the helicopter.
Video of the scene circulated on social media showed that it was dark and foggy at the time of the crash, and preliminary reports showed that the helicopter crashed into a kindergarten and then crashed near a residential building. The wreckage of a helicopter could be seen outside the burning building and people were screaming.
"There were children and staff in the kindergarten when this tragedy occurred." According to Zelensky's instructions, the Ukrainian Ministry of Security has set up an investigation team to conduct investigations at the crash site, and is doing everything possible to thoroughly investigate the crash as soon as possible to determine the cause of this terrible tragedy.
However, some analysts believe that judging from the large-scale fuel fire on the ground, the plane had a high probability of having a serious accident in the air, and then crashed in the kindergarten in Brovari District.
At the crash site, you can see the red and white livery of the "Super Jaguar" helicopter belonging to the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations and its iconic propeller hub
[Voiceover] What kind of helicopter is so unruly that it crashes tragically? Judging from the photos at the scene, the crashed helicopter should be a legal-made EC225 LP "Super Jaguar" belonging to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine.
EC225LP "Super Puma" is one of the main large transport helicopters of French Army Aviation. The aircraft successfully made its first flight on November 27, 2000. It is a twin-engine helicopter that can transport 24 passengers, 2 pilots and 1 cabin attendant according to the customer's configuration. This type of helicopter is used by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine for the transportation of senior officials.
For Zelensky, what is more terrifying than the helicopter crash is that when people are needed, several generals lose their troops. First of all, the Ukrainian Interior Minister Monastrsky, who had the highest position in this crash, is only 43 years old. He has a doctorate in law. He is a Ukrainian lawyer and politician. He is serving Zelensky in his prime years.
During the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election, Monastrsky was an expert on Zelensky’s law enforcement reform team. It is understood that he is one of the people's representatives who has submitted the most legislative motions in the Ukrainian Parliament. Monastirsky was responsible for police and security in Ukraine and was the highest-ranking Ukrainian official to die since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
On July 16, 2021, Monastrsky officially served as the Minister of Interior of Ukraine. During the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Monastrsky encountered many dangerous situations.On February 19, 2022, while inspecting eastern Ukraine, “multiple artillery shells exploded near Monastrsky and his party, scaring them into hiding in a bulletproof bunker in a local village.
Bad News Part 1 2: The Ukrainian presidential adviser announced his resignation and made controversial remarks that triggered "internal strife" in Ukraine.
submitted his resignation on the 17th local time and announced his resignation. Why did you resign after doing a good job? ?
It's not that this guy doesn't want to do it, nor is he dissatisfied with Zelensky, but his inappropriate remarks triggered "internal strife" in Ukraine.
A few days ago, a residential building in Dnipro, Ukraine, was attacked. Stovich said that this was an explosion that occurred after a Russian missile was shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system and fell on a residential building.
Unexpectedly, Alestovich's remarks were immediately refuted by the Ukrainian military: the Ukrainian military had no ability to successfully intercept Russian missiles. Alestovich slandered the Ukrainian military and demanded an apology or even resignation.
Dnipro Mayor Filatov was particularly angry, calling Alestovich "a big-mouthed narcissist" and urged the Ukrainian National Security Service and counterintelligence services to "react". 1
Regarding Alestovich's resignation, Zelensky did not hesitate or hold back. On the day he submitted his resignation, which was the 17th local time, Zelensky approved Alestovich's resignation application.
[Voiceover] On the surface, this is just a sudden or unexpected incident. In fact, to a certain extent, it reflects that Ukraine is full of internal conflicts and disputes, and the government and the military are trying to shirk responsibility on many issues.
As for the Lensky government, it does not have much ability to mediate multi-party conflicts, so it has to simply resolve some issues by resigning. This approach of dealing with matters on a case-by-case basis often only calms the conflicts on the surface, but the problems behind the conflicts are not only unresolved, but may also get deeper and deeper. And it creates a bigger problem. For Zelensky, internal conflicts are even more terrifying than attacks from the outside.
On the 17th local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky issued a statement stating that the debris removal and search and rescue work for the apartment building attacked by missiles in Dnipro has been completed. It is known that 45 people have died, 79 people have been injured, and more than 200 apartments have been damaged.
The resignation of a senior consultant can be regarded as a consolation for the casualties!
Bad News No. 3: Former Ukrainian MP: Zelensky plans to liquidate the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army
A few days ago, Ilya Kiva, a former member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, quoted an anonymous source as saying that Zelensky planned to liquidate the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Valery Zaluzhny.
[Voiceover] This news once again highlights the intensification of internal conflicts in Ukraine at the highest levels. This is not groundless news between the Supreme Commander of the Party and the President. Kiva said on social media that the reason for the liquidation was that Zelensky was worried about Zaluzhny’s support rate increasing and was afraid that he would be replaced by Zaluzhny one day.
In addition, some sources pointed out that, Valery Zaluzhny was still accompanied by beautiful women (as shown in the picture above), which also made the Ukrainian military and Zelensky extremely dissatisfied. As early as August last year, Ukrainian media wrote that Zelensky wanted to remove Zaluzhny from his position as commander-in-chief and let him take charge of the Ministry of Defense htm. l1
At the same time, Valery Zaluzhny’s opinions on Zelensky have become increasingly intense. Especially after the Russian army took control of Soledar on the evening of the 12th and caused tens of thousands of Ukrainian casualties, the top leaders of Ukraine blamed each other and the conflicts gradually became public.
In this regard, Zaluzhny publicly accused Zelensky of insisting on insisting that the Ukrainian army must fight, which caused the Ukrainian army to suffer a major defeat. During the Russian army's "36-hour Christmas truce", Zaluzhny said that he repeatedly begged Zelensky to order the withdrawal of troops from Soledar, but Zelensky did not adopt his suggestions.
To sum up, Zelensky is currently facing multiple challenges from Russia, the United States, the West, and internal challenges. The slightest carelessness will be the last straw. Therefore, for Zelensky, no matter what kind of pressure he faces, he must not lie down and must bear it, at least until the day when he sits on the negotiating table with Russia.
In fact, for Zelensky, sitting down and talking is the best and only option. The longer the fight lasts, the greater the damage will be.
