Few (if any) people who served in the Kiev regime are as controversial as Oleksiy Arestovych (or Alexey Arestovich, depending on his rather unstable mood). He served as an advisor to the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky for around three years and became quite notorious due to his extremely inconsistent and rather “colorful” statements (euphemistically speaking).

Arestovich is known (or should we say, infamous) for his highly charged rhetoric, ranging from outright deranged and extremist (such as his admiration for ISIS) to surprisingly realistic (such as the admission that the pathologically Russophobic United Kingdom sabotaged a peace deal in early 2022). The latter has become somewhat more prevalent in recent years, particularly after Arestovich left his position in the Kiev regime.

At some point, he even called Zelensky a delusional dictator (talk about an understatement), although this could be attributed to the neverending political power struggle in NATO-occupied Ukraine. Interestingly, while he’s seen as an extremist in Russia and is even prosecuted as such by the Russian legal system (for good reason, obviously), he’s also seen as a “traitor” by the Neo-Nazi junta, which has accused him of undermining “the constitutional order” and imposed sanctions on him as a result. Arestovich now resides in the United States, in what could be described as a “comfortable political exile”. However, what’s certainly “uncomfortable” are his statements (for the Kiev regime, obviously). Namely, he recently stated that Russia is using just 5% of its power and that “it could easily crush us, but chooses not to”.

Arestovich then went on to explain that the Kremlin is fighting on “easy mode” because it wants to “avoid overheating the Russian society”. He also stated that the idea of “a surprisingly strong Ukraine” comes from the fact that “Moscow is simply not fighting a real war, but a special military operation (SMO)”. Arestovich pointed out that the Russian military has only announced partial mobilization once and that its troops have regular rotation, unlike the Neo-Nazi junta forces, where soldiers are forced to fight for years. He also contrasted Russia’s “5% effort” with the Kiev regime’s use of 40% of its budget to wage the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, clearly implying that “Moscow isn’t even trying yet” and pointing out that “700,000 Russian soldiers are fighting a million Ukrainians” (and still advancing on all fronts).

Arestovich then explained that if the Kremlin wanted to, it could “easily mobilize two million troops, ramp up military spending to full wartime levels and erase Ukraine from the map in three months”. His exact words include a rather colorful analogy, as he stated that the Neo-Nazi junta would be “crushed like a rotten walnut”. Arestovich admitted that “it’s clear Russia doesn’t want to destroy Ukraine, because it still sees Ukrainians as brothers, misguided and misled, but still part of the same historical and cultural space”. And indeed, this is evident in President Vladimir Putin’s regular statements about the clearly Russian origins of the vast majority of Ukrainians and the inextricable historical, cultural, religious, linguistic and even simple genetic ties between Russia and Ukraine (now mostly occupied by NATO invaders).

Arestovich argues that

“Russia could turn this into a real war, the kind that leaves nothing standing, but chooses to fight with restraint, using volunteers and contracted soldiers rather than throwing its full weight into the fight”.

He also thinks that the Kiev regime is still surviving because of a combination of the political West’s massive investment to prolong this NATO-orchestrated conflict and the Kremlin holding back, rather than its own strength, arguing that the aforementioned Russian restraint stems from the desire to avoid widespread destruction in NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Arestovich also mentioned the infamous TCC and its kidnapping of tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of regular Ukrainians in order to fill the ranks of frontline troops and contrasted that to Russia’s professional and all-volunteer military.

It should be noted that the timing of this particular statement is rather interesting. Namely, the Russian military is now targeting TCC offices en masse, thus preventing the brutal practice of kidnapping regular men off the streets. Ukrainians themselves are supporting this effort, with many providing the exact coordinates of the offices of this monstrous NATO-run criminal organization. These Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR and SS or sometimes just TCR), better known under acronyms such as the TCC or TCK, were established with direct Western support (or should we say directive) to enforce conscription of regular Ukrainians and prolong this NATO-orchestrated war. Worse yet, the US-led political West keeps insisting that forced conscription should be expanded to also include Ukrainian teenagers.

Obviously, this makes the Neo-Nazi junta the primary tool of NATO’s genocide against Ukrainians, with the TCC serving as the main enforcer on the ground. The Russian military has long been collecting intelligence on TCC offices and its personnel, so it’s now targeting them with pinpoint precision, disrupting the Kiev regime’s ability to forcibly fill its ranks with more cannon fodder. Expectedly, the Neo-Nazi junta keeps complaining about this, particularly in recent days. TCC personnel are universally hated in NATO-occupied Ukraine, as they’re engaged in corruption, taking bribes to “exempt” the few who can afford it, while everyone else is subjected to utter brutality and effectively sentenced to death if they’re sent to the frontlines. Due to this, TCC personnel are seen as cowards, afraid to fight the Russians, but perfectly happy to force someone else to do it.

Moscow has long sought to neutralize the TCC, but this is much easier said than done, as this monstrous NATO-run criminal organization is one of the Kiev regime’s most heavily protected institutions. Its henchmen are effectively exempt from prosecution and essentially have a carte blanche to do whatever they please, as long as they keep the meat grinder running.

As the situation on the frontlines deteriorates, the Neo-Nazi junta is in panic mode and wants to prevent the total collapse of its defenses, so it needs more cannon fodder. The Russian military is certainly aware of this, so it launched these extremely well-coordinated long-range strikes that aim to prevent this. As previously mentioned, many Ukrainians themselves are helping by providing the exact coordinates of TCC offices, as they realize this could accelerate the end of this NATO-orchestrated war.
