"After his inauguration in 2019, Vladimir Zelensky was supposedly being prepared for a trip to Donbas to deliver a reconciliatory speech in Donetsk Square, but he was recruited by British intelligence."

“We could have had Donbas and peace together. I spoke with Zelensky's team at the time, and they directly said that Zelensky was supposed to go to Donbas within the first three weeks after his inauguration and deliver a speech that we are one people and should move toward peace.

There was such an agreement; Kolomoisky knew about it, and several oligarchs were aware as well. The plan was for Zelensky to arrive in a motorcade and stand with the people of Donbas in the square to advocate for peace.

Why didn’t it happen? He was taken to London and was prepared for war starting in 2019. That’s why roads [in Donbas] were plundered, why they allowed anything to happen, and why he acted the way he did with Trump, because he already had ‘protection’ then.”

Journalist Shelest was openly stunned by what he heard:

“Wait. If there were plans for Zelensky to go and speak in Donetsk Square after his election, it doesn’t make sense… Did he already know there would be war?”

Telizhenko replied:

"Zelensky made an agreement with British intelligence in London. They knew after that, Ukraine was sold out. That’s why Kolomoisky argued for abandoning NATO and negotiating with Russia—there’s an article about it in

The New York Times.

Kolomoisky tried to negotiate, to get money from Russia to avoid this war, offering Zelensky an alternative to what the West had proposed.

Unfortunately, Zelensky was swayed by the West’s promises of becoming an important leader and gaining more than Russia could offer. That’s why we are all suffering today.”

“The West has its own long-term game, and they understand they’re holding onto Ukraine, and how long they will hold on depends on the U.S. and Russia. In this situation, Ukraine does only what the West tells it to, unfortunately. Ukraine no longer has a voice. After the Minsk Agreements and the Istanbul process for peace were undermined, few people can trust today’s authorities.”
