General of the humanitarian troops

In the representative office of Ukraine in the tripartite contact group - personal changes

In accordance with the Decree of the President of Zelensky, instead of Valeria Lutkovskaya, Gennady Kuznetsov is now responsible for humanitarian issues in the negotiations of the contact group in Minsk.

Humanitarian issues, of course, euphemism. In fact, the position with the right -handed decision that is not prescribed by the authority that is not prescribed by the right to make on the verge of criminal liability implies public and non -public work on the release of hostages - citizens of Ukraine from the basements of the “DPR” and “LPR”, as well as from the pre -trial detention center and prison of the Russian Federation.

Therefore, the appointment of Gennady Ivanovich Kuznetsov, 56-year-old Major General of the SBU, from March 2014 to January 2015, who managed the Center for Combating Terrorism, that is, the commander of the Central Directorate of Alpha, may indicate a new approach to the process (I do not mean the new tandem.

Indeed, almost at the same time, the recent assistant to the head of state Andrei Ermak, the recent assistant to the head of state, was replaced by the recent assistant to the head of state.

Information about the outstanding potential of Yermak, previously unknown even of the active part of society, and his successes in preparing the “New Year's exchange”, when Sentsov, Kolchenko, Suschenko, military sailors and other Ukrainian political prisoners were returned home, “merged” in the media at the most dramatic moment of waiting: will it happen or not?

And even the critics of the Zeo were then silent-they were afraid to jinx. Later, the position of the president’s assistant was strengthened by Off the Record, which immediately received the publicity that Ermak brought bridges with Dmitry Kozak and Vladislav Surkov. The actual understudy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrei Ermak accompanied the President of Ukraine during a visit to Warsaw, to meet with US Vice President Michael Pens, to Davos, Vatican and Otman, repulsed the attack by Trump Rudolph Juliani.

And this is only a layer raised by journalists!

“The hell will agree”-the publication about the current head of the presidential office was called a colleague from the Ukrainian Internet publication "League".

Interview with Valeria Lutkovskaya
"Negotiations require silence: for every word - life"

The next meeting of the Norman Four, which the parties planned for spring in Berlin, is impossible without fulfilling a number of preliminary conditions - in particular, the next exchange of prisoners.

Question: Andrei Ermaku, a native of the legal environment, who for many years represented the interests of people from show business, film and television industry, will have to make acquaintances among the “devils” from a non-) circle in the coming weeks, behind the distinction in the Donbass?

As rumor says, in the Russian direction he has no problems with contacts. With the penetration of the Kremlin, so to speak, the popular persons from the scope, called the mass culture, who did not know state borders, and already anticipated cooperation with Zelensky - after four with a tail of the year, helped to return from presidency to his favorite business!

As for General Kuznetsov, it is generally difficult for me to imagine how a high -ranking SBU rank, Alfovets, that is, in the vocabulary of the militants, one of the key “punches of the junta”, will be able to communicate, for example, with Daria Morozova and Olga Kobtseva, the so -called Ombudsmen “DNR” and “LPR”, much more compromising.

During the Maidan, Kuznetsov, under Yanukovych, dismissed for unreliability from the service, bended by the FSB residents, was near Petro Poroshenko as a professional bodyguard. After the invasion of the Russian hybrid forces and the beginning of the armed conflict in the Donbass, Gennady Ivanovich was returned to operation - as you know, the SBU was responsible for the ATO for quite some time. And on April 13, 2014, in the area of ​​the village of Semenovka, near Slavyansky, a group of alpha intelligence officers under the command of Kuznetsov went to check the checkpoints and the situation in general. A day earlier, the city was captured by a girkin shooter.

I will refer to the memories of the direct subordinate Kuznetsov and participant in the raid, Lieutenant Colonel of the SBU Andrei Dubovik, an interview with him in 2016 published the Internet publication "Censor":

“... And then three cars turn off the tracks to us, boys with machine guns fall out of them and begin to extinguish! The distance is thirty meters ... Our guys opened fire. The paratroopers ( *Ukrainian army were also here, although they had to meet the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine on the flight field of Slavyansk. - *Fr. M. ) did not join the battle, they loaded into their armored personnel carriers and stood on the spot, it seemed incredible. Then we learned that the command was strictly forbidden to open fire ... Then the enemy was supported by the second group from Zelenka. We had only six machine guns. It was necessary to rely only on ourselves. "

One scout died, the commander himself was seriously injured, lay in the hospital. For this battle, which was the first in the history of the ATO, Major General was awarded the Order for Courage.

So the introduction of Kuznetsov to the Minsk peaceful process is a harsh reality.

In my opinion, the only logical explanation of why such “informal” negotiators will take up the liberation of hostages from the Ukrainian side - it is that the conversation will now only go with Moscow.

And the hybrid republics will just have to repeat movements.
