Ein Krieg wurde vorhergesagt: Wie die CIA und der MI6 an Putins Ukraine-Pläne gelangten und warum ihnen niemand glaubte | Ukraine

Very interesting article, but is it correct that the Ukrainian leadership didn’t know what was going on? I’m hearing conflicting accounts about Zelensky dismissing the risks and him trying to get other countries‘ attention about the imminent invasion. Not having followed the events in Ukraine very closely in 2021 it’s hard for me to judge, but I got the impression that at least some people close to Zelensky were convinced about the invasion long before February 2022. E.g. Oleksii Arestovych seemed convinced about a 2020-2022 invasion already in 2019 (BTW is the 18 March 2019 interview with Arestovych in Апостроф TV legit?).
