Former President of Georgia, Former Head of the Odessa Regional State Administration and Chairman of the Executive Reform Committee of Ukraine Mikhail Saakashvili December 27 on his Facebook page said that Undersecretary of the Defense and National Security Council of Ukraine Serhiy Krivonos should be fired for criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
General Krivonos is not a political scientist, not a columnist, not a retiree who signed up as an expert, he is the current vice president of the NSDC. The function of this official is to prepare the president for the aforementioned situations, give him various alternatives, how to respond to them, and coordinate the actions of the Ministry of Defense. and other power structures. But by no means leave aside the ridicule of the press, trying to prove that Zelensky is completely incompetent, but he, General Krivonos, unlike the president, is very competent, “Saakashvili said.
He asked, trying to show the incompetent president, if Kryvonos had prepared proposals on how to save Ukraine from a large-scale invasion.
“I would have immediately dismissed such a deputy head of the NSDC. Because his attack today does not speak of professionalism, but, on the contrary, of a total lack of professional ethics and that this body or a significant part of it is extremely ineffective “, said.

In an interview with Focus, published on December 25, Zelensky, answering the question of whether he thought about the possibility of attacks by the Russian Federation from the occupied Crimea, said: “This is a terrible situation, I don’t even want to represent it. I am against it. Hopefully it is impossible. Otherwise, there will be a great war. We will not go anywhere, everyone we will fight, everyone will mobilize – both men and women. “
Krivonos criticized his words.
“2014 showed that a lot of [граждан] I was going [воевать], but even more fled the mobilization. And 2018, when martial law was introduced, it also showed that a large number fled [от мобилизации]… Therefore, the State must educate this reserve of mobilization, and also ideologically. This is not accomplished in one year. This is the first. Second, we must understand that, even having mobilized people, we must teach them. Because we are not fighting with meat, we are not abandoning tens of thousands of people, ”he said.
Russia occupied Crimea after illegal referendum on March 16, 2014… Ukraine and most countries in the world do not recognize the peninsula’s accession to the Russian Federation. At the moment, there is a checkpoint regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev does not de facto control the peninsula.
In the immediate aftermath of the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia launched an armed aggression in eastern Ukraine. The fighting is between the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the one hand, and the Russian army and the Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, on the other. The Russian Federation does not officially recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
At the beginning andJulia 2020 Commander of the Naval Forces of Ukraine Oleksiy Neizhpapa He stated that Russian troops may try to seize part of the Kherson region and the Ukrainian side is preparing for it.
The Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Sergei Naev, said that Neizhpapa exaggerated the likelihood of an invasion threat from Russian troops and suggested that such statements were caused by the inexperience of the rear admiral. Naev noted that at present the Ukrainian side does not see an immediate threat of invasion by Russian troops from Crimea, but Ukraine is considering a scenario in which the Russian Federation will launch an offensive in several areas at once, and the task of Ukrainian army is deterring the aggressor.
The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, described the information about the possible invasion of the Russian Federation in the south of Ukraine as “utter stupidity” and “stoking anti-Russian hysteria”.
