In a new, lengthy, ostensible exclusive published Nov. 11, the Washington Post dusted off the “six Ukrainians in a yacht” account of the Sept. 26, 2022 Nord Stream pipelines sabotage, and put in charge of this alleged operation, who else but Maj. Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, commander in chief of the Ukraine Armed Forces, who is certainly a target of mysterious intelligence attacks and wetworks from all directions lately.
We spare our readers the details of this Zaluzhny-done-it story, which implicates a subordinate of his, Maj. Gen. Viktor Hanushchak, as having given the direct orders to a daring Col. Roman Chervinsky, who directed the skilled yachtsmen. Suffice to say that neither the Central Intelligence Agency nor the U.S. Armed Forces are ever mentioned as having any knowledge of the planning of the destruction of Nord Stream although President Joe Biden promised publicly in a Feb. 7, 2022 press appearance to destroy it. Moreover, the Post repeats the story that Dutch intelligence informed the CIA of the plot and the CIA then warned … no, not Zelenskyy, but rather … Zaluzhny, not to do it.
Rubbing it in: “‘All of those involved in planning and execution reported directly to [chief of defense] Zaluzhny, so Zelenskyy wouldn’t have known about it,’ according to intelligence reporting obtained by the CIA that was allegedly shared by Jack Teixeira, a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, on the Discord chat platform. Officials in multiple countries have said privately they were confident that Zelenskyy didn’t personally approve the Nord Stream attack.”
On the charge arising from this new investigation by the Post and Der Spiegel, with more unnamed intelligence sources, the Zelenskyy government would not comment; Colonel Chervinsky, who is in prison, blamed the head of the Zelenskyy’s presidential office Andriy Yermak as his real accuser; and there is some implication that Zaluzhny may blame Russian President Putin for this story.
