Information that Zelenskyy allegedly ordered preparations for another 2-3 years of war is a 'plant' – advisor
Information from The Economist that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy allegedly ordered preparations for another 2-3 years of war is a "plant" that has already circulated before, President’s Communications Advisor Dmytro Lytvyn has said.
"This is the same plant that has already been out there. Perhaps people needed to use something as a vehicle for other messages in this text about how everything is supposedly bad. However, at a meeting with the faction, the president just said that it is necessary to focus on the six months until November; that is the timeframe," Lytvyn told reporters on Wednesday.
Information from The Economist was also refuted by an informed source of the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
"This is untrue," the agency’s interlocutor said.
Earlier, The Economist, citing sources in the Ukrainian government, reported that Zelenskyy had allegedly instructed preparations for another 2-3 years of war.
