(Photo = NewsisDB) 2024.08.01., ‘[Seoul=Newsis] Reporter Shin Jung-won = A pro-Russia-tilted opposition politician in Ukraine claimed on the 1st (local time) that the United States is trying to replace Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with Kiril Buda Noyu, head of the military intelligence.’,
,
, ‘Viktor Medvedchuk claimed to Russian Tass news agency on the day, saying, “U.S. government agencies consider Buda Noyu as a figure who can replace Zelensky as president,” adding, “But how could they replace him? It’s only possible through a military coup.”‘,
,
, “Medvedchuk is a pro-Russia-tilted Ukrainian politician. According to Tass news agency, he has been a former leader of a banned opposition party in Ukraine and is currently leading the ‘Other Ukraine’ movement. It is known that he has a personal friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.”,
,
, “Medvedchuk also claimed that statements by Buda Noyu, the head of military intelligence, saying that Ukraine planned to assassinate President Putin, are part of a larger game to remove President Zelensky.”,
,
, ‘He said, “Buda Noyu needs to show that he is a bigger enemy to Russia than Zelensky,” adding, “The UK is raising the (Valery) Jalluzni (pro-British Ukrainian) ambassador in place of Zelensky, and Buda Noyu needs to act quickly.”‘,
,
, ‘Jalluzni, who was dismissed as chief of staff due to rumors of discord with Zelensky last February, is a former chief of staff. He gained strong trust from the Ukrainian people to the extent that he threatened Zelensky. At that time, there were reports in foreign media that he had discussions with U.S. and Western authorities without reporting to President Zelensky.’,
,
, ‘Russia and Ukraine are leaving the possibility of peace negotiations open ahead of the November U.S. presidential elections, where Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, can be re-elected. Russia claims that it will bring up issues of Zelensky’s legitimacy and become an obstacle to the negotiations.’,
,
, ‘Zelensky’s official term was until May last year, but it has been automatically extended due to the state of martial law. In the fall of 2022, Zelensky issued a presidential decree prohibiting direct negotiations with Putin after Russia forcibly annexed four regions of Ukraine. ‘,
,
, ‘Zelensky has shown a firm stance that Russia must return all territories and completely withdraw. However, there have been subtle shifts in tone recently, such as hinting that giving up some territories on that day may be possible “if the people want.”‘,
