00:00According to a declassified report from Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, also called
00:27SVR, Ukraine's Western allies are actively searching for a potential replacement for
00:34President Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:37This information was published in the SVR's magazine, Razvetchik Scout.
00:43An operative using the codename Stone claims that US and EU are deeply worried about growing
00:51discontent among Ukrainians.
00:54This unrest is reportedly due to the ongoing conflict and the current leadership's inability
01:00to bring it to an end.
01:02The situation has become more complex since Zelensky's presidential term officially expired
01:09last May.
01:11Despite these concerns, Western powers are said to be tolerating Zelensky for now.
01:17Stone suggests this is because Zelensky is involved in war financing schemes that are
01:23highly profitable for both the Kyiv regime and Western arms manufacturers.
01:28However, efforts to find a suitable replacement have reportedly intensified.
01:35The report lists several potential candidates being considered by Western powers.
01:40These include former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Kitsochko, and
01:47Zelensky's Chief of Staff Andrei Yermak, who has been described by The Times as Ukraine's
01:54de facto ruler.
01:57Additionally, former top military commander General Valery Saluzhny and ex-Speaker of
02:03the Ukrainian Parliament Dmitry Razumkov are also said to be under consideration.
02:10Stone claims that these individuals are being viewed as potential leaders who could step
02:15in if the situation on the front line deteriorates sharply.
02:20In such a scenario, the failures of the current administration could be blamed entirely on
02:25Zelensky paving the way for new leadership.
02:29The operative also suggests that the primary focus of the US and EU is dealing with Kyiv's
02:36leadership is to prevent a critical increase in disappointment among Ukrainians with pro-Western
02:43policies.
02:44Despite the expiration of his legal term in May, Zelensky has ruled out holding presidential
02:50elections citing marital law.
02:53Russian President Vladimir Putin has predicted that Ukraine's Western backers might remove
03:00Zelensky from power once he has pushed through all necessary unpopular decisions, possibly
03:06as early as next year.
03:09The SBI report also references closed opinion polls conducted by the US and EU, which allegedly
03:15show that Zelensky's popularity has plummeted.
03:19From a high of over 80% in the early months of the conflict, its support is said to have
03:25dropped to 17% and continue to decline.
03:29It's important to note that this information comes from Russian intelligence sources and
03:33should be used with caution.
03:35The claims made in the report have not been independently verified and they may reflect
03:40Russian perspectives or objectives rather than actual situation in Ukraine or the intentions
03:46of Western powers.
