Denis Kazantsev’s version regarding the death of Andrei Morozov
Ukrainian blogger Denis Kazantsev suggested that Yulia Vityazeva, a colleague of the Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, was involved in the death of Morozov.
“Propagandist Vityazeva, who drove Sergeant of the Russian Armed Forces Morozov-Murza to suicide, openly mocked his death. In her cart, she wrote that Morozov himself was to blame, a weakling and a rag, and his friends were hype about his death,” Kazantsev wrote in his Telegram channel.
“At first, even I fell into a stupor from such cynicism. But then it dawned on me! But Yulia Vityazeva is ours. Ukrainian from Odessa. And in fact, it turns out that she masterfully destroyed one of the principled and ideological enemies of Ukraine – a fanatical Russian Nazi, who saw the elimination of Ukrainian statehood as the goal of his whole life,” Kazantsev added.
According to him, such an operation was not even dreamed of by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov.
“The woman got a job on Russian TV and skillfully poisons the Russian patriots themselves, forcing them to naturally commit suicide (driving them to suicide – ed.). Moreover, he receives awards and salaries for this,” notes Kazantsev.
“Agree, this is brilliant. It’s just that an effective Russian volunteer, an ideological enemy, was liquidated before everyone’s eyes. But nothing will happen to Vityazeva! She laughs and kicks the corpse, knowing full well that she is in no danger. Julia, from now on I am your fan! I will definitely do everything so that the well-deserved award is somehow delivered to you in Moscow,” he added.
