Pulitzer Prize Winner Seymour Hersh Reports That US May Move to Oust Zelensky, Even by Force – General Zaluzhny Would Be Tasked for Succession
Seymour Hersh is an influential – if highly polarizing – investigative journalist who won the Pulitzer Prize back in 1970 for reporting on the My Lai massacre of civilians during the Vietnam War.
Lately, there’s been a fair amount of criticism of his reliance on anonymous sources, and some of his later revelations, such as on the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, for example, were met with mixed reactions.
Nevertheless, when Hersh writes, many still pay close attention.
And he has come out on Friday (18) with a rather explosive article called ‘The End for Zelensky?’, in which he reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership is under great pressure, and that signs from Washington indicate that his time in power may be nearing an end.
Hersh goes as far as suggesting that Zelensky could face exile or even forced removal.
This would come under U.S. influence, and the decision would be up to President Donald J. Trump.
“Zelensky is on a short list for exile, if President Donald Trump decides to make the call. If Zelensky refuses to leave his office, as is most likely, an involved US official told me: ‘He’s going to go by force.’”
US officials believe that an eventual refusal by Zelensky to step down could lead to his removal by force – according to Hersh.
This comes as support for the Kiev regime leader is dropping both domestically and internationally.
