Seymour Hersch - so probably whoever leaks him stuff wants to make Zelensky look bad
Yeah it comes down to whether you think Seymour Hersh's ukrainian sources are telling the truth or not, same as the nordstream II story. Answer is both cases is a "probably"
There were even less well sourced rumors in the last few days, when Zaluzhnyi was sacked a trove of documents leaked out claiming to be GRU reports of conversations between Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi and the latters phone calls, and included a list of derogative nicknames Zaluzhnyi supposedly called Zelensky in private- "Frodo", "Krivoy Rog Imbecile", "Comedian Dicks"", "Shmyga", "Stuart Little", and my favorite "Little Mossad Agent". Now that's even more dubious a report with no verification, though its also questionable why Russian disinfo agents would even bother faking transcripts of boring low level phone calls and name-calling since nothing in the documents was serious, not to mention they'd need some knowledge of Ukrainian shibboleths, and a lot of it doesn't even translate to english or make sense in russian outside of their memes ('blue rail cart')
