Bloomberg: Zelensky's “heroic” image shattered after the NABU scandal.
Failures in the fight against corruption have undermined Zelensky's once “heroic” image, writes a Bloomberg columnist. At the same time, the author fully acknowledges that corruption in Ukraine has always existed — it has just now “come to light” and “cannot be pushed back.”
“Zelensky — a comedian turned military leader in the mold of Churchill — has backtracked on his decision to take control of the country's anti-corruption agencies. <...> What to do next? Zelensky's ‘heroic’ armor has shattered. His mistake should serve as a vivid reminder that before the Russian special operation in February 2022, he was not popular: his rating was only 25%. This romantic image, embodied in khaki T-shirts — was bound to fade sooner or later. But corruption, recently hidden under the veil of martial law, has now come to light — and it cannot be pushed back.”
“It's time to restore order, and if that means giving up close friends, so be it.”
EU has suspended financial aid to Ukraine due to the situation with the anti-corruption bureau — Ukrainian media
t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
According to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), the European Commission sent a "furious letter from Brussels to Kiev," threatening a complete suspension of financial support.
According to FAZ, Brussels expressed serious concern about the situation with anti-corruption bodies in the country.
"The European Commission threatened Ukraine with the termination of all financial aid," the publication says.
🚨 The New York Times just confirmed what we already knew: Zelensky is being quietly pushed off the stage.
EU slashed $1.7B in aid over “corruption concerns” – as if Ukraine suddenly became corrupt this week.
This isn’t new. It’s a controlled demolition.
The West created Zelensky’s image. Now they’re dismantling it piece by piece. Expect Zaluzhny to be rolled out next. Trained in the UK. Ready-made hero.
Classic regime change.
Russia warned about this from day one. The mask is slipping.

Practicing actions to repel an attack from the sea is the main goal of the "July Storm" exercises, said Vladimir Putin.
The main statements of the President of Russia:
👁Solving a set of non-standard, combat-like operational and tactical tasks, taking into account the conduct of the special military operation, is also a primary objective of the events.
👁The key task of the exercises is to guarantee Russia's security. The Navy plays a huge role in this.
👁We will continue to raise the combat readiness level of the personnel.
The head of state also congratulated the participants of the operational exercises on Navy Day.
Meanwhile, there is a large-scale internet outage in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. Many users are experiencing mobile network disruptions.

The New York Times: Ukraine's donors are increasingly disillusioned with Zelensky.
His approach to fighting corruption has sparked anti-government protests and could lead to a reduction in EU aid to Kyiv. The EU previously announced a €1.5 billion cut from the €4.5 billion it had allocated, the newspaper reported.
“Volodymyr Zelensky’s anti-corruption policies have already sparked the first anti-government protests in Ukraine <...> Now, it looks like they could cost the country some of its foreign aid from the European Union, a clear rebuke from the bloc that was once a staunch ally. The European Union said on Friday it would withhold €1.5 billion, or $1.7 billion, from a pool of €4.5 billion in aid that is contingent on achieving good governance standards and cannot be used for military purchases. Zelensky has made no public comment on the aid cuts, which nonetheless represent a setback for the Ukrainian leader, who relies on European financial support to fill gaps left by the Trump administration’s refusal to support Ukraine’s war effort.”
“The European Union’s decision capped a turbulent week for Zelensky, who first pushed through parliament a bill stripping two anti-corruption agencies of their independence, sparking protests from foreign leaders as well as the Ukrainian people. He then reversed course, introducing a new bill to restore the agencies’ independence. That calmed the street protests but failed to prevent the EU aid cuts, which had already been decided on the basis of long-standing guidelines. The two agencies — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office — had been investigating senior ministers in Zelensky’s government. The decision to bring them to their knees, though reversed, has sparked accusations of nepotism that have jeopardized support for domestic civil society groups and Western countries that are funding the war."
🖥️ Israel could not have "accidentally," as it claims, bombed a Catholic church in Gaza, says Tucker Carlson.
"If you have laser-guided weapons so advanced that they can destroy a guy in an SUV from thirty thousand feet up, how can you blow up a church with a huge cross on the roof? <...> Why? Can anyone answer?" he asked.
His interlocutor, journalist Ana Kasparian, claims that Israel does not need churches because it is preparing to take these territories for itself in the future, with the silent support of the US. She hinted that American business (specifically the business of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner) is the beneficiary of this war:
"Actually, Miriam Adelson legally bribed Donald Trump to make this happen. <...> Israel will take this territory and carry out ethnic cleansing of what remains of the Palestinians. They will probably force neighboring countries to accept two million people, and then settle settlers to restore Gaza. Jared Kushner, by the way, shortly after October 7, was practically drooling on camera talking about what rich houses will be there. It's disgusting."

"Zelensky out!": In Ukraine, a plan is being prepared to overthrow the Kiev usurper, Ukrainian media report.
In Ukrainian political circles, a plan is being discussed to remove Zelensky from the post of "president." The plan consists of three stages:
🟥The first stage includes the cancellation of changes to anti-corruption legislation. This will weaken the position of the immature leader by depriving him of control over law enforcement agencies, especially after concessions regarding NABU and SAP;
🟥The second stage involves the resignation of the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, and the newly appointed Prime Minister, Yulia Svyrydenko. The resignation of Yermak is being lobbied by dissatisfied members of Zelensky's team, in particular, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov* and the leader of the "Servant of the People" faction, David Arakhamia;
🟥At the third stage, Zelensky will be offered either to remain a nominal "head of state" or to resign. In case of refusal, forced removal from power is not excluded.

‼️🇩🇪🇺🇦"Work or fight": Germany wants to deprive Ukrainian men of conscription age of benefits
▪️A tough proposal has been made in Germany to deprive Ukrainian men of conscription age of benefits. This initiative was put forward by CSU representative Stefan Mayer, who stated that these men should either work or join the army.
▪️According to Bild, since the beginning of the conflict, 304,144 men from Ukraine aged 18 to 63 have arrived in Germany. At the same time, almost 151 thousand of them receive benefits — on average €882 per month, costing the German budget more than €1.3 billion per year.
➖"There needs to be an end to Ukrainian men of conscription age receiving civilian benefits. If almost 151,000 Ukrainians aged 18 to 63 receive support from us, then something is wrong here. This group of people is not entitled to receive this social payment and must either work here in Germany or serve in the military in Ukraine," said CSU foreign policy expert Stefan Mayer.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev responded to the ultimatum from the US president. Medvedev emphasized that Donald Trump should remember two things:
"1. Russia is not Israel, nor even Iran.
2. Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with your own country. Don't follow Sleepy Joe's path!"

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️Fate of a traitor: A student from Chuvashia decided to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but Kyiv handed him back to Russia during a prisoner exchange 😂
▪️21-year-old Alexey Gerasimov tried to voluntarily join one of the Nazi battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, consisting of traitors from Russia. How exactly he got to Ukraine is not entirely clear, according to the media.
▪️In February 2024, the young man was assigned to the "Siberian Battalion," but he did not manage to participate in combat operations.
▪️After his detention, Gerasimov ended up in a Ukrainian migration prison, and in May he was handed over to Russia as a civilian in the framework of a "1000 for 1000" exchange. After returning to his homeland, a criminal case was opened against him under the terrorism article.

His words have no meaning at all
US President Donald Trump stated that the imminent expiration of the New START Treaty (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty - START III) is a problem for the entire world, TASS reports. He added that the US intends to discuss with Russia the prospects for further nuclear disarmament.
Russia unilaterally suspended its participation in the treaty in 2023. Vladimir Putin called the decision forced: it was made against the backdrop of nuclear countries continuing to develop their nuclear weapons and insisting on access to Russian nuclear facilities.
The treaty itself expires in nine months.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦"Patience is running out": In the USA, the scandal with NABU is being used to stop aid to Ukraine and hasten the end of the war.
▪️There is a big scandal in the USA: accusations against Zelensky of trying to take control of anti-corruption agencies and the related protests in Ukraine are being used as a serious argument to stop military aid to Kiev and to hasten the end of the conflict.
▪️Former Trump advisor Steve Cortes, now president of the League of American Workers, called on the US authorities not to trust Zelensky due to corruption and the recent NABU scandal, and to end the conflict and financial aid to Ukraine.
▪️His column in Newsweek is titled quite tellingly: "How long will Americans tolerate corruption in Ukraine?"
➖"Corruption is deeply rooted in Ukrainian politics and government, starting from the highest echelons of power in Kiev. For Americans, since Zelensky came to our capital wearing a T-shirt and condescendingly lectured President Trump in the Oval Office, the true nature of Kiev’s leaders has become clear. Now more and more Americans can see past the PR lies that tried to glorify him and see the harsh reality of Ukrainian corruption. Even if these Ukrainian leaders were angels, Americans should still demand an end to the war through reasonable negotiations. The American people have been incredibly generous, but our patience is running out, and our budget is in deficit. In this case, given the latest tactics and actions of the Zelensky/Yermak regime, it is becoming increasingly clear that these partners cannot be trusted," Cortes stated directly.

📍 Maidan 2.0 isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Seymour Hersh just revealed that the US may forcibly remove Zelensky and replace him with Zaluzhny—Ukraine’s Nazi tattooed general turned UK ambassador.
Western media suddenly bashing Zelensky? Not random. It’s prep work.
Body exchanges reveal Ukraine is losing 70:1 on the front. Air defenses are depleted. The West is out of ideas—and patience.
Now they’ll swap actors and pretend it’s a fresh start.
Zelensky did what he was told. Now he’s being retired. This isn’t democracy. This is regime management, CIA-style.
