Zelensky’s BFF Forced Out of Top Advisor Role After Admitting Ukraine Did Missile Deaths

This guy was an actor from Zelensky’s theater days. They are BFF. He is literally the #1 advisor who is shaping Zelensky’s public image.

It’s a pretty big deal he’s being forced to resign, especially over something that doesn’t even matter.

It was an easy mistake to make – Ukrainians constantly brag about how they shoot down Russian missiles, so he just got his wires crossed and bragged about interrupting the trajectory of a missile and causing it to hit an apartment building.

A high-profile adviser to President Vladimir Zelensky has tendered his resignation, having admitted live on air that Ukrainian forces had shot down a Russian missile over the city of Dnepr before it reportedly landed on an apartment block, killing dozens. The remark has landed Aleksey Arestovich in hot water, as commenters claimed he was blaming the Ukrainian military for the deaths.

Arestovich shared his handwritten letter of resignation, addressed to Andrey Yermak, Zelensky’s chief-of-staff, on Tuesday morning. He claimed he was showing “an example of civilized behavior” by leaving his position in the Ukrainian government. It was not immediately clear if his request has been accepted.

“The level of hate directed at me is incomparable with the consequences of the on-air mistake,” Arestovich said. He offered apologies to those “deeply hurt” by his words, but not “to the people who are spinning this issue.”

Arestovich previously claimed that he’d received a tip from an acquaintance, an experienced military expert, who said he’d heard a blast from an interceptor missile before the Russian missile hit the residential building in Dnepr on Saturday. He reported it during a YouTube interview the same day.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry denied having engaged the projectile and claimed that, in the first place, it didn’t have the capability to intercept Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles. It claimed that its previous statements that some missiles of that model had been intercepted were “inaccurate.”

Ukrainian officials reported on Tuesday that the incident in Dnepr claimed at least 40 lives and injured 79 people, while 25 were listed as missing. The Russian Defense Ministry said it was targeting military sites and elements of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the Saturday barrage. The Kremlin blamed Kiev for the deaths of civilians, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating that “this tragedy was the result of the actions of the air defense missiles.”

Yes, it’s already well-established that every single mass death event that the Ukrainians blame on Russia they did themselves. Sometimes they kill people on purpose just to blame Russia, and sometimes they accidentally kill people and blame Russia.

Russia absolutely does not target civilians. That is a definite fact. The Ukraine mostly targets civilians because they are too incompetent to do anything else.

He has a long history of making highly inappropriate statements. The guy openly supports ISIS and says that they are a model for the Ukraine military. Here’s a Twitter thread I did showing his many strange declarations.

The fact that this thing he just said is what he’s being forced to resign over indicates that the Ukraine government is in a state of total chaos.
