MOSCOW, July 16. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky's dismissal of Mikhail Fyodorov from the post of defense minister is the removal of a political rival following a signal from Western globalists, Rodion Miroshnik, the ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for crimes of the Kiev regime, said on the air of the Solovyov Live TV channel.

The diplomat noted that Zelensky "felt stronger than a year ago," and "a new epic of a government reset began in the clash of control over financial flows." According to Miroshnik, the main reason for this is Zelensky's "outspoken competitor," Fyodorov, who "came in the wake of the cardboard Maidan last year as a man who is primarily backed by globalists."

The globalists include US Democrats, European globalists, and high-tech companies such as Palantir and Nvidia, all of whom "spent large international budgets through Fyodorov."

"Fyodorov redirected the money a little in the other direction, they didn't like it, so a signal was sent to Zelensky to make this reset. So Zelensky removes the political competitor, restarts the government, which will face slightly different tasks. He may even try to hold elections against the background of this government. True, it all is still up in the air, but just in case, it would not hurt to get ready," the diplomat said.
