Political scientist Bashirov on the dismissal of Arestovich: went to an independent career

Today, January 17, it became known about the dismissal of Alexei Arestovich from the post of adviser to the office of President Zelensky. Arestovich wrote a statement on his own after the words about the fall of a rocket on a residential building in the Dnieper. Then the adviser said live on the air that the tragedy occurred as a result of the operation of the Ukrainian air defense system: fragments of a missile shot down by it fell on the house.

Later, Arestovich, in his Telegram channel, called his words a “premature mistake” and apologized for them to the residents of Dnipro. And then he issued a statement asking for his resignation. He called his act “an example of civilized behavior” after a “fundamental error.”

The well-known Russian political scientist Marat Bashirov is sure that Arestovich is starting an independent career in Ukraine. It will be difficult for Zelensky to “shut up” his former adviser, because the British counterintelligence Mi5 “covers” him.

“But you can kill. Some activist of the Right Sector (recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia) or Azov (recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia) will decide to “revenge”, – wrote Bashirov.
