[Regnum] The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, dismissed Alexey Danilov from the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine. The corresponding decree was published on March 26 on Zelensky’s website. “Dismiss Aleksey Myacheslavovich Danilov from the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine,” the document says. By another decree, Zelensky appointed Alexander Litvinenko as secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, having previously dismissed him from the post of head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. Oleg Ivashchenko was appointed to this place. Danilov has served as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine since October 2019. As Regnum reported, Zelensky, in a video message published on March 4, announced a number of new personnel appointments in the Ukrainian defense forces. Then he did not specify what kind of reshuffles were expected. He only explained that “real combat commanders from the front” were involved in developing solutions. Earlier, Ukrainian media reported that Zelensky was thinking about dismissing Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba. According to sources, many complaints have accumulated against him regarding the ambassadorial candidacies provided by the ministry. In addition, the administration of the Kyiv regime is generally dissatisfied with the work of the Foreign Ministry. On February 8, Zelensky dismissed Valery Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On March 7, it became known about Zaluzhny’s appointment as ambassador to the UK. The head of the Kiev regime explained this by saying that he himself asked for this position. More from regnum.ru Kostikin: Zelensky fired Danilov to distance himself from participation in the Crocus terrorist attack The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, was forced to dismiss Alexey Danilov from the post of Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine under the influence of a number of factors, one of them was the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. This opinion was expressed to a Regnum news agency correspondent on March 26 by Nikolai Kostikin, an expert at the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis. The expert believes that Danilov’s dismissal was due to the fact that he confirmed Ukraine’s involvement in the terrorist attack at Crocus and stated that “Russia will have such fun more often.” “After the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, the US statement about Ukraine’s alleged non-involvement in this terrorist act and Russia’s attack on the location of the SBU, the leadership in Kyiv began to panic. Russia has made it clear that it is starting a hunt for those responsible for this terrorist attack,” says the military expert. That’s why Zelensky fired Danilov in order to comply with US policy and distance himself from participation in the terrorist attack, Kostikin clarified. As Regnum reported, Alexander Litvinenko became the new secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine. The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. Litvinenko previously served as head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, asked who would believe the US words that Kiev was not involved in the terrorist attack, if in the past the West applauded extremists in Ukraine. She recalled that Washington says that supposedly Ukraine had nothing to do with it. And who will believe them, when in 2013-2014 it was Washington, it was Britain, it was Germany, Brussels, Paris, Warsaw, all the Baltic countries applauded, distributed money, as much as they could, cookies, and so on to those who threw Molotov cocktails at the same civil buildings, infrastructure in the center of Kiev, Zakharova said. Terrorists attacked Crocus City Hall on the evening of March 22. The armed men began shooting visitors and then set the building on fire. According to data as of March 26, 139 people were killed as a result of the attack. The list of victims includes 121 people. |
