The '''Zelensky purges''' were a series of firings, executions, and shunting off into exile with looted fortunes low, mid, and high-level officials of the U.S. [[puppet regime]] of [[Ukrainian]] [[dictator]] and [[NATO]] puppet [[Volodymyr Zelensky]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230213200752/https://www.globalresearch.ca/purges-in-ukraine-defense-and-interior-ministers-die-in-helicopter-crash-whos-next/5808336 “Purges” in Ukraine: Defense and Interior Ministers Die in Helicopter Crash. Who’s Next?], By Karsten Riise, Global Research, February 13, 2023.</ref>

In July 2022 Zelensky's Western [[agent handling|intelligence handler]] [[Boris Johnson]] was ousted as prime minister of [[UK]].  Soon thereafter, Ukrainian-born U.S. congresswoman [[Victoria Spartz]] urged Zelensky to fire his [[chief of staff]] [[Andrei Yermak]] for corruption.  Western delivered arms had been disappearing without ever making it to the frontlines,<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/oZGOUDGZn1FL/</ref> including Javelin missiles, British NLAWs, and German Panzerfausts.  A French built CEASER self-propelled artillery piece was sold to allied Russian forces for $120,000 as were US built HIMARs for $800,000.

Accusations of "[[zrada]]" flew, and Zelensky attempted to fire Gestapo chief [[Ivan Bakanov]], a childhood friend and television comedy producer, and chief procurator Iryna Venediktova. Kyiv news reports had to walk back the firings as mere suspensions, then the parliament acted to remove the pair as scapegoats related to all the corruption charges.  In early June 2022, a former deputy of Bakanov was detained in [[Serbia]], as he tried to illegally transfer emeralds, 600 thousand [[euro]]s and 125 thousand dollars across the border.  Shortly before the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Bakanov and his friend left Ukraine with $2 billion dollars in cash. In May 2022 Bakanov and his deputy were still buying real estate in Europe.

In addition to the removal of Bakanov and Venediktova, an additional 651 criminal cases were launched.  A missile strike at the Officers’ House in Vinnitsa while Ukrainian and foreign military officials held negotiations resulted in a large group of high-ranking officers of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed. Apparently, the strike led to casualties among the foreign officers, and Kyiv was forced by its western partners to punish top security officials who were responsible for the [[leak]] of information.

The deputy head of the security service [[Vasily Malyuk]] was appointed as the new acting chief of the Security service.  Chief of staff Yermak, alleged to be a Russian operative however, survived the firings.<ref>https://spartz.house.gov/media/press-releases/spartz-president-zelensky-must-address-yermak-issue</ref>

In the wake of revelations of attempts to bribe Russian pilots to convince them to defect, which involved bellingcat.com owner Christo Grozev, Zelensky fired first Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Ruslan Demchenko and commander of Special Operations Forces (SSO) Hryhoriy Halahan. Danchenko was replaced with Viktor Horenko.

====Hunt for fall guys====
Disagreements between Zelensky and the command of the Ukrainian army over the conduct of military operations became apparent. In particular, the military reportedly believed that it was necessary to retreat on several fronts, while Zelensky insisted that no retreats were possible. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses in manpower on the front lines.  As the situation deteriorated, the hunt for fall guys to blame the loss on ensued.

Suffering heavy losses on the front lines, the Kiev regime attempts to stop the outflow of civilians who can be conscripted into the military.  The Ukrainian General Staff declared a ban on leaving their place of residence for men of military age without the permission of the military enlistment office during the period of martial law.

On July 5, 2022 a bill was submitted to parliament clarifying the procedure for the departure of conscripts and reservists from their place of residence within Ukraine.

====The Great Purge====
In mid-January 2023 CIA director [[William Burns]] travelled to Kyiv for a secret meeting with Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky.<ref>https://archive.is/5Z3qz</ref>   Prior to Burns arrival, the SBU and Department of the Interior had already put a bullet in the back of the head of Zelensky’s top negotiator with Russia, Denys Kiryeyev.  Shortly after Dir. Burns left Kyiv, on the morning of January 18, 2023 a helicopter crashed in the town of Brovary in the eastern outskirts of Kiev region, killing the entire leadership of the Department of the Interior.  According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, killed in the crash were Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky; First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Enin; State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yuriy Lubkovich; Deputy Head of the Patronage Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Tatiana Shutyak; Head of the Department of Protection of the Department of Internal Security of the National Police of Ukraine, Colonel Mikhail Pavlushko; Lead Inspector of the Department of Communications Nikolay Anatsky; Senior Operative of the Department of Internal Security of the Police of Ukraine Andriy Marinchenko; helicopter commander Alexander Vasilenko; pilot Konstantin Kovalenko; and on-board mechanic Ivan Kasyanov.<ref>https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2023-01-18-the-ministry-of-internal-affairs-of-ukraine-published-a-list-of-employees-of-the-ministry-who-died-in-a-helicopter-crash.HkeiifFBso.html</ref>  The helicopter was a French built Eurocopter EC225 LP Super Puma or its equivalent.  Witnesses said that the helicopter was spinning and burning in the air before crashing into a kindergarten.<ref>https://twitter.com/JohnEdgarCarter/status/1616088161771261953</ref>

According to Hacker DPR Joker:
[[File:Budanov.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Kyrylo Budanov.<ref>https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraines-intelligence-boss-predicts</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine had long been aware that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense was trading Western arms, which came to Ukraine in the form of aid, for the benefit of third countries, and that this process was overseen directly by the head of the [[GUR]], [[Budanov]]. By the way, this information has already surfaced somewhere.

The leadership of the Interior Ministry wanted their share and began collecting data through their structural units, which are associated with intelligence and surveillance. As a result, they managed to obtain evidence and began blackmailing. The military bosses promised a share to the police leadership, and the first tranche was paid. But it was pointless and unprofitable to pay any further.

In addition, the insolence of the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had his head in the wrong place, was putting the military leadership under strain. And now the day had come when the kids from the GUR were able to demonstrate their skills. But that is not all. The sanction for this was given personally by [[Yermak]], who is also in on the secret from the supreme narcissistic clown, Zelensky.<ref>https://sonar21.com/are-the-ukrainian-political-elite-starting-to-eat-each-other/</ref>}}
On January 24, 2023 the Kyiv regime confirmed the removal of some dozen high ranking officials in cases ranging from [[bribery]], to mismanagement of aid funds for purchasing [[food]], to [[embezzlement]], to spending aid money on expensive cars.  Another top presidential adviser and four deputy ministers – including two defense officials, along with five regional governors were forced out of their posts. And among the regional governors to step down included officials overseeing regions which have seen intense fighting, including the [[Zaporozhye]] and [[Kherson]] regions. Among those removed were:
*Deputy Prosecutor General Oleskiy Symonenko
*Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukeryu
*Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Vyacheslav Negoda
*Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenk
*The regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy and Kherson.

And separately, “the defense ministry had earlier announced the resignation of deputy minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov, who was in charge of the army’s logistical support, on the heels of accusations it was signing food contracts at inflated prices.”  He purchased military rations at inflated prices in what appears a scheme to line the pockets of contractors, and potentially involving kickbacks to himself.  ''[[Politico]]'' reported:
{{quotebox-float|"An exposé from the Ukrainian news website ZN.UA revealed last week that the defense ministry purchased overpriced food supplies for its troops. For instance, the ministry bought eggs at 17 hryvnias per piece, while the average price of an egg in Kyiv is around 7 hryvnias. According to ZN.UA, a contract for food procurement for soldiers in 2023 amounted to 13.16 billion hryvnias (€328 million).}}
This was two to three times higher than current rates for such food items.

The deputy head of the Zelensky administration Kyrylo Tymoshenko, who stands accused of living a lavish wartime lifestyle. Many [[mainstream media]] reports buried some of the key verified details. For example, [[BBC]] wrote simply that “Tymoshenko was implicated in several scandals during his tenure, including in October last year when he was accused of using a car donated to Ukraine for humanitarian purposes.”

But starting in early December local Ukrainian outlets, angered at the posh lifestyle of Ukrainian leaders at a moment tens of millions are without electrical power, began confirming that Tymoshenko drove high-end sports cars in and out of the capital, to and from mansions which typically range in cost from $10,000 to $25,000 per month.

The controversy extended to luxury vacations abroad as Ukrainians suffer the deprivations of war at home. “The departure of Symonenko, a deputy prosecutor general, comes after media reports that he spent a holiday in Spain this winter, reportedly using a car belonging to a Ukrainian businessman.” 

Just prior to the wave of resignations, another official named Vasyl Lozynskiy was accused of receiving bribes to “facilitate” the purchase of generators at greatly hiked-up prices. Crucially, Lozynskiy as Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Development would have also been directly involved in overseeing how billions of dollars in Western humanitarian and infrastructure assistance gets doled out. Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov is under scrutiny related to the growing probe and scandal.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/01/25/zelensky-purges-nine-top-officials-as-ukraine-corruption-allegations-linger/</ref>

On February 1, 2023 it was reported that Zelensky had turned on his old friend and benefactor [[Igor Kolomoisky]].  Kolomoisky's home was raided by the Ukrainian gestapo allegedly in connection with the embezzlement of oil products worth $1.09 billion and customs duty evasion "of astronomical amounts."<ref>https://dossier.substack.com/p/zelenskys-great-purge-continues-launching</ref>
