Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky “knows too much” and is at risk of assassination from within his own inner circle, according to Putin ally Vasily Dandykin.
In his chilling prediction about the fate of Ukraine’s leader, Dandykin – a Russian reserve captain – claimed he had failed in his role and that Western allies will target him.
“He’s already done his job,” said Dandykin, according to Russian website MK.ru. “They won’t leave him alive, he knows too much.”
Despite Zelensky being seen as a hero in Ukraine and by his Western allies, Dandykin suggests there are replacements waiting in the wings.
“He could be replaced by [armed services chief Valerii] Zaluzhny or by [former president Petro] Poroshenko, who now suddenly began to raise his head and make statements,” he said.

“Zelensky feels all this, and it makes him nervous. Next year we can expect a lot of interesting things.”
Dandykin warned: “The situation in Ukraine can change very quickly. Their front may crumble both from internal political problems and from the lack of money to which they are accustomed. And, of course, traditionally, Moscow will be to blame for everything.”
He also suggested Zelensky’s weakness comes from a stuttering Ukrainian counter-attack, with their armed forces now relying more on “terrorist attacks on the territory of new regions and Russia”.
Dandykin shockingly suggested that Zelensky’s best option might be to take his own life.
“At best, he will repeat the fate of Alexander Kerensky, who from July to November 1917 was the head of the [Russian] provisional government,” he said.
“A year later, in 1918, he fled abroad using forged documents. He gave anti-Soviet lectures, complained and wrote memoirs. When Kerensky became seriously ill, in order not to be a burden to his loved ones, he refused to eat.
“When doctors injected him with a nutrient solution through a vein, he pulled out the needle. It was comparable to suicide.”
Last week, Zelensky addressed US Congress in a bid to secure continued financial backing for the grueling war with Russia.
He vowed to never give up in an impassioned speech, telling the audience: “I hope my words of respect and gratitude resonate in each American heart. Against all odds, and doom and gloom scenarios, Ukraine didn’t fall. Ukraine is alive and kicking.”
