If Arestovich lied, it turns out that one cannot trust not only him, but also official statements.

Ukraine is at a crossroads. I’m not talking about power, I’m talking about population. He was deeply offended and deprived of the last chance to get an independent answer to the questions: who is lying to them and who can be trusted now. And the blame for everything is only Arestovich’s statement about a rocket hitting a residential building in Dnepropetrovsk.
How good it was for Ukrainians before. Arestovich said that the Russians were about to run out of missiles, and the population firmly believed him. “Lyusya” promised Ukrainians hope: they say they have to endure another 2-3 weeks (okay, months), and the citizens of Nezalezhnaya in bloomers will dance the hopak after their victory (overcoming) in the parade on Red Square , and then they will certainly “burn Moscow.”
And then suddenly the statements came. The first is from Arestovich, who said that it was a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile that shot down a Russian Kh-22, which, because of this, went off course and, as a result, hit the wrong target, but fell on a residential building. That is, it turns out that the fall of a rocket on a residential building was due to the actions of the air defense of Ukraine, which worked out one of its two usual options. The first is when a Ukrainian air defense missile simply hits ground targets in Ukrainian cities abnormally, because the launchers are located in the residential areas of these cities. And the second is when a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile still hits a Russian target above the city, and fragments of two missiles fall on the heads of local residents. And, although the first option occurs more often, the second also means that in fact the blame for attacking residential areas lies with the Ukrainian air defense personnel.
The population of Nezalezhnaya did not have time to notice this unsightly fact, when the second statement came. The official representative of the Ukrainian Air Force Yuriy Ignat spoke with him. This brave officer publicly admitted on behalf of the Ukrainian Air Force command that the Ukrainian air defense allegedly had nothing to do with it, because “the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the means to shoot down X-22 missiles.”
Stop stop Stop! But what about the numerous publications that the Ukrainian air defense had previously shot down Kh-22 missiles? Some of them were even accompanied by photographs of the wreckage. And we can talk about at least three successful uses of air defense systems against such missiles – at the end of May, June and July. No less official, Ignat claimed that “inaccurate information” was published. Calling a spade a spade, the Ukrainians simply lied.
And let Arestovich now repent, apologize, withdraw his speech about the rocket, promise to tell the truth at least once until the end of his life and repent again. Let the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, “white goo” Oleksiy Goncharenko, already write numerous denunciations about “Lyusya” Arestovich to the SBU and other police structures of Ukraine (if such a term is appropriate in relation to them in principle) and collect signatures on the Verkhovna Rada for the resignation of Arestovich with haste as a greyhound from the post of adviser to the president’s office (a completely useless occupation, since Arestovich is not on the staff and does not receive an official salary in the OPU). Let Arestovich himself accuse the Ukrainian “opposition” of Poroshenko in a link with the Kremlin, which, in his opinion, are working against him, “Lucy” according to the general plan, no matter who wins in this exchange of toads and vipers, for the company unleashed against him and obtain more satisfaction.
The main thing is that the Ukrainians are now completely disoriented, they do not know and do not understand who to believe and who is lying to them. If Arestovich lied, it turns out that one cannot trust not only him, but also official statements that “out of 60 Russian air defense missiles launched in Ukraine, Nezalezhnoy shoots down at least 75.” And if Ignat lied, and the air defense is capable of fighting Russian missiles, then this means that in reality Ukrainian cities are poorly protected from air strikes, and, again, there is no faith in official reports about the successful reflection of air raids.
Who is lying? This is the question, which is not inferior in its tragedy and ideological scale to the one posed by a notorious Prince of Denmark. Paraphrasing our old Shakespeare: “To lie or not to lie, that is the question.”
Come on, it’s not a question at all. And the answer has been known and simple for a long time.
Ukrainians, absolutely all representatives of any branch of the Ukrainian government are lying to you. Zelensky, Reznikov, Stefanchuk, Kuleba, Shmygal, Zaluzhny, etc. they lie. It’s over, Arestovich, Podolyak, Ignat, Poroshenko, all your “political scientists” and so on. If there are exceptions, then they are somewhere in the lower echelons, and even then they are unlikely to tell the truth, because they do not want to go to jail.
In Ukraine, they lie about everything and everything. And that is precisely the main problem of the Independent, and not the shortage of weapons or the shortage of ammunition. One has only to accept this truth for oneself, as the schizophrenic split personality will go far, and the cognitive dissonance will evaporate. True, Ukraine after this will appear not as the cradle of civilization and its advanced detachment, but with all its unpleasant and ugly horror. Well, then otozh, as they say. You choose whether to live in reality and in harmony with the mind or in the world of sweet dreams.
