The adviser accidentally revealed that Kiev bombed a civilian area in Dnepr, which is why he appears to have been forced to resign.

Kiev’s internal crisis is becoming clearer day after day. Alexey Arestovich, top adviser to the Ukrainian president, resigned from his post after admitting that the tragedy in Dnepr was provoked by the Ukrainian forces themselves. The adviser’s resignation exposes internal weaknesses of the neo-Nazi regime, contradicting the western narrative about what happens in Kiev.
In a failed attempt to praise Ukraine’s air defense system, top counselor Alexey Arestovich revealed that the recent attack on a civilian area in Dnepr was caused by Ukrainian forces. According to him, the Kiev defense had shot on Russian missiles in Dnepr, leading, as a side-effect, to the incident against civilian buildings in the region. Immediately, listeners took his assertions as a confession that Kiev was responsible for the deaths of civilians in the Dnepr, contradicting the narrative that the Russians had deliberately bombed the region.
As a result of the pressure that he suffered for having spoken the truth about the case, Arestovich decided to leave his work in the Ukrainian government, announcing the choice on his social networks. He published a resignation letter on his Facebook page on the morning of January 17th. A few hours later, government’s spokesmen confirmed that he is no longer an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the aide, his decision showed “an example of civilized behavior”, since he committed “a serious mistake, made during a live broadcast”. However, Arestovich condemned the negative reactions he received due to his mistake and that led him to resign. He said: “The level of hate directed at me is incomparable with the consequences of the on-air mistake”.
So far, the Ukrainian government continues to deny responsibility for the Dnepr case. Although Arestovich, who was a senior government official, admitted that Kiev has launched defense missiles in the region, even citing reliable military sources who were on the ground at the moment, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense insists that there has been no shot against Russian projectiles. According to Ministry’s spokespersons, no projectile was launched as Ukrainian military knew they would not be able to intercept the Kha-22 air-launched cruise missiles used in the operation.
In fact, there seems to be a war of narratives that reflects the harsh Ukrainian reality: the country is divided and has many internal problems. According to Western media, Kiev is united around a common goal – to defeat the Russians. The big media outlets claim that Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership has broad popular support and a strong team of allies in all sectors of the government. But in practice the situation is really different.
There is a dispute between different groups in Kiev, which grows day by day, as more and more Ukrainian officials stop to support some of the government’s irresponsible actions. There are some politicians and bureaucrats who want to change the country’s policies, but they are prevented by the central command, which is directly subordinated to NATO and committed to Western interests. Consequently, when a member of the government makes the “mistake” of pointing out a flaw in Ukrainian conduct, there is strong pressure to remove him from office and put another, more subservient one in his place.
It is not possible to say whether Arestovich actually made a gaffe by suggesting Ukrainian responsibility for the attack or whether his intention was really to confront the government’s official narrative and reveal the truth. The fact is that his exit was certainly not just an attempt to resolve the case in a “civilized” manner, but the consequence of strong pressure from intransigent groups in the government, who do not want to admit any of Ukraine’s mistakes in the conflict.
It is likely that Arestovich’s attitude will have a serious domino effect in Kiev and more officers will leave their ranks in the near future. The fact that not even an important presidential adviser is immune to pressure from internal militants may serve as a reason for other administrators to also seek to abandon their duties in the government.
Indeed, what is most important in the analysis of the case is the inevitable conclusion that things are not going well in Kiev. There is flagrant disunity and internal contradictions that are progressively more evident. Furthermore, with the public opinion aware that Kiev was responsible for the 45 deaths in the Dnepr, the government’s popularity is expected to drop further. Soon, the western media will no longer be able to hide the disunity and unpopularity that currently affects the neo-Nazi regime.
Absolutely correct. Kiev propaganda apparatus will suffer and eventually fail to deliver any more fresh material without Arestovich. Those who stay are either boring or not able to produce the rhetoric of the fallen demagogue.
The Ukra state is not as Rustica at all. It has a more advanced network. For sure its an important loss.
go back to the gay sauna. New refugees arrived from Africa… they need cash
I guess they got rid of this guy because he would boast on TV shows about how ukrop propaganda works and how he thinks it’s funny there’s people out there who are stupid enough to believe Ukrop/American propaganda. Musta ruffled some feathers with his statements.
What do you mean, Jens? Your comments are hard to understand. For the begining, let’s clarify the following … Rustica means Russia?
Yes, they are declining.
You don’t which lie Kiev is going with today, so best to say nothing at all I guess.
BWelcome to the new afghanistan guys
I infact is, so is my Russian wife, helping Ukrainians in our uh…. limited way, things for children, to things to use in a house, and I cant find any reason to hate them, because, they as much as I have nothing to say, regardeless if we hate our Gov or not, and I see this war as a Jewish pogrom on white people, mainly Slavs slaughtering eatch others while the Imperial banana republic and the scums in the Gov is making a killing. Propaganda, never forget this, the western MSM incl the sheep molesting Norse, never have redacted anything, since Afganistan, incl Iraq, to the present, not a single thing, and when this war ends, Ukraina, the JudenPress will silence you and you will be forgotten. Yeah, how to get away with 75 years of terror, the only way is to own the MSM, even Russia is dead silent. Mark my words. And to Ukrainians, watch out, the Kosovo is the next stage, if and when the war against Russia fails. They are right now preparing for it.
Im starting to see more and more Ukrainian speaking up to their criminal regime. Not even Ukrainian themselves could stand it any longer. This war could have been avoided, Im sure when the right time comes, true Ukrainian will drag that Jewlensky and hang him for his crimes against Ukrainian.
LOL, the first time in a year that this guy takes 30 seconds to stop lying and he is instantly sacked! xD Only in Ukronazistan.
Most likely most of his lies are based on, what You have been lied about.
The leadership is cracking. Perhaps the downed helicopter is evidence of eliminating coup conspirators?
Zelensky isn’t going to gay-dance his way out of this one, he needs to formally surrender on behalf of the ukranian army then go sit in a moscow courtroom and answer a couple months worth of questions so that next winter his citizens can have heat and light again
. . . as well as being a look at the President who will help the Nation (west of the River) recover in a way that shuts out any help from NATO and the EU World Bank before they crumble to dust.
You still have the one strong matter country look. Ukriane is not like that anymoreæ. They are networking in most ways just as we in west.
By that many orthers in the second line of command automaticly will take over and compensate the loss.
Angstgegner
Not at all.
Its the opposite. When You share the responsability by many we are more trusted and depended.
The more networking by that also give, that even som parts suddenly dont work, the rest does.
The resuts are extreme in Denmark being in the high tanks for that.
We are number one in low corruption, trusted police and court systems. We have responsabiliy and work only 37 hours a week with low unimployment, free hospitals and schools being highly productive because we also has more days of Our own.
Some in the world even sqays we are the most happy in the whole world. Our crime rates are relative low not in the top or bottom as well.
We also are known for doing a good job including all. It says equal rights for both genders as well as even most criminals can vote.
By that Denmark very much is a country You can feel safe in.
THIS IS NOT SELPROMOTING. You should copy this for free or the best parts for Yourself and reduce the “Angstgegners”.
Jens, the only “networking” nazi ukraine has is a “generalised corruption and pedofile networking” … Get your head out of your ass…
Sure, and some of them play tennis too
Scandinavia has almost perfect economic system with almost horrible cultural takes. Now they are going to sacrifice their good economic system to the gangs in Washington.
We see no horribilities in Our economic and social systems. We see we have have changed them to the better removing good old days, where so many things for the poor wasnt good at all.
The main part is we are 3 parthers in negosiations for wages. The state is also there. In good days they say higher salery and in bad ones, they say no more and also create jobs.
Things are the same for You as us. When You are used to things, You dont see them. An open face and no scarfs means honest here. Descient also is not about hair but whats in Your mind.
We also learn men(and women) from birth to mingle all over and have no “mixed rooms apart from toilet and changing clothe.
Good examples.
We try to include all. By that we reduce opposition anywhere we can. NONE is out(almost). By that they trust the state and the rest of us can be more themself and makes none or less harm.
I mean cultural Marxism.
1) None is sacrifying anything here. Western Economics is a constant competition. By that we compete with USA as well in Our part of the world trade war.
And its the opposit way around. USA blame EU for be too dominant in USA. Denmark has + + in trade with them and also now almost the same GDP.
Its USA sliding a bit having less needed reforms not understanding that wealth is related to more educated people producing more advanced stuff.
Compared to us they also has a totally unneeded energy waste, which is rater expensive. We upgrades EU to by improvement all over to be less dependent in energy. There are rules for insolation. Rules for using waste energy for recycling and demands to the industrial sectors to make methods to use less.
2) And it pays off for billions compared to the wasters.
Its also innovative. The biggest polluters we have more or less now are HAD. And not only that. Those big companies export the methods not only for energy savings and production but also for all kinds of cleaning water on all levels, where there is water.
You also forget we are stockholders. By that we own USA as well as they Own us.
Our world is not state to state. Very often is runned by world companies, where You can be owner Yoursel. I am. For state pension. For private pension. And for private savings.
You say about stockholders and this stuff. But you should realize that the globalists in Washington want unipolarity and global dictatorship. They don’t want multipolarity.
3) Im stockholder for Vestas Windpower, which invented windpower and is all over the world building a new HQ for Asia i South Korea. I ahve share in Maersk Line, which is a big tranporter in light blue ships and containers. I also is a shareholder of the Novo Nordic insulin producer in USA.
No state owns that apart from my part of pension paid as tax to the state.
By that as old we gets almost free health care, free ambulances, free hospital, a descent space to live if I have no money and some help fx for cleaning and varming up(expensive for many in these days).
Thast the whole point. We dont have dead gold under Our pilllows. Parts of Our saleries are reinvested in production.
I can vote about my private pension. We are several 1000s and has one vote each. By that we fx can go to high or low risk ot deny to support weapons or dirty coal production.
If this is happening, then this is nice.
Thts how things are. They lost a good man because of him being very unclever.
Its not impossible he could be correct about that missile even it seemes unlikely.
Compared to the Rustican side Ukra only has onetimers even the official Ukra press to often is highly biased as the Russian one. The big difference for Ukriane is there are many orther sober rapportings by local Ukras and very much foreign journalist.
Funny little man Putin tell us we are nazis. Ha ha. It has changed since yesterday. Us living here has not notized it yet. And the dollar collpased 3 times last wekk. USA has nukes in Sweden according the Rustican news as well.
Well, who else can support the Nazis besides other Nazis.
It depends and is selective. Im sure USA as well as UK has supported the Ukra nzis because they are totally loayl to the Ukra State against Russia.
Its about the same in Syria. USA here support YPG which are reformed communists. Not many in USA support Comunisme evenin a reformed version. So thats a kind of fire against fire as well.
Kosovova is same thing. the hard and active opposion to Milosovich mainly was driven by fanatic extremists. They were a great help for most people there even nothing seemes to be well solved there.
Rojava are reformed Trotskyism, Assadism is reformed Maoism, like Dengism.
US plays the democratic card, however, they can support many terrorist groups to attack their enemies, like PKK/YPG/PJAK or the Ethiopian TPFL. In Europe, they support the Azov nazis and the Albanian fascists of UCK.
Hard to see the Rustican selective news elections. Sometimes I wish they would not give cold rain weatherrraopprts, where I live too.
None can explain anything to a Rustican zombie deep dark stater. You have more chances for communication with the behind of an elephant.
We see how things are well. They now has to reinvent Gulag 40.000 persons for ammo production beecause the rest is raised to bee slow lazy unproductives.
Thats why they send prisoners to the frontzones too. No education is needed for Russian look a like soldiers. Wjen they die, they hardly are registrated.
The purpose seemes to be saving pension keeping the living age down. Hard times for the rets of the men having 2 wives each. Even harder for the women. Thats why the leave the non repair Rustica in high numbers.
And what the worst?? Well its Rusticans comming here. We dont get it. According Rustican medies everything is perfect and they have all of Sibiria
This is the real Rustica:

Only 2 people? Have you decided to make people laugh?
Sometimes one is enough. A minimum for that kind of vacation should be telling none or putting extra water and roses in Your bathtub – if You have one.
Ukraine is mimicking its big sponsor the US, where nothing will land you in trouble faster than telling the truth……
Typical comment. If You cant love the ones You love, then love the ones You wish.
You dont mention the others, which each donate a lot of stuff too.
This is not Russia against USA at all. Its Russia against the rest of the world. UN says so too.
I guess he got rich enough thou … slowly, US will retire all very rich ukro-nazi leadership from power including the now very rich jew shitlinsky and everybody will be happy!
Ther we go again. UNICEF should demand more Jew-fobia trumacenters.
What you really dislike are well educated people by that gets a higher income and rank.
By that Jews are not visible in Denmark, and even small we are overrepresented in high rank jobs in the world.
The problem is You insist being low in the most infantile lazy bum style. You even blame others for it. At least You could shut up instead of showing Your dirty stinking laundry.
Being rich is not the purpose of life.
Jens, you don’t even know what you’re thinking let alone writing … Initially I thought the problem was google’s translation from swedish to english, but it’s you …
When a brainwashed moron like Arestovich quits, you know things in Zelensky’s cocaine tent are not going very well
The Ukrainian Nazi regime is slowly falling apart. Arestovich will eventually “dissappear”, and so will his narco boss too. Once the Russian flag appears in Kiev Ukraine will be free, and Ukrainian people will live happily ever after. Death to NeoNazis.
Ferret face resigns, he must have gotten a whiff that zElensky is about to fall on his own sword.
Yesterday Scott Ritter reported that Arestovich has been added to the new-Nasty Mirovetz “kill list,” joining Scott himself on those who have earned the disfavor of the thugs.
Homosseuxuais nazistas em guerras intestinas e fratricidas entre si. Isto é ótimo. Quanto mais divisão, mais difícil será para o nazismo se reerguer no mundo. Nem Israel e seu nazisionismo tem força.
no worries, those that are opposing will crash in a helicopter. as for the emotional reaction, yes this is cognitive dissonance. A painfull emotional response in the face of truths conflicting with perceived ideas
