Oleksiy Arestovych was previously a top military aid to Zelensky. He was very popular at the outbreak of the war and had a large following on Instagram. Eventually, he was forced to resign. Many believe this was for being too honest.
He now resides in the USA because the Ukrainian government has opened two different investigations against him.
Below is his first interview in the USA.
He says the war could have ended with the peace in late March with the peace negotiations in Istanbul. Arestovych says a deal was 90% made, and Ukrainian delegates had already celebrated with champagne. Then Zelensky suddenly changed his mind after a surprise visit by Boris Johnson.
