In what appears to be a sensational confession during an interview with Ukrainian TV, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that a special operation to detain mercenaries of the Wagner Private Military Company via a false flag operation in July last year indeed existed but failed. Up till now, Zelensky dismissed talk about it as disinformation. But in an interview with Ukraine’s 1+1 channel on 24 June 2021, he casually remarked that Ukraine was “drawn in” to the operation by “other countries” and “warned” Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko about the Wagner mercenaries when they were on Belarusian territory.
