President Volodymyr Zelensky is a “puppet of MI6 ” who has already fled Ukraine, according to brazen propaganda shared by Russia ’s main state TV channel.
Russian Channel 1 featured pro-Moscow Ukrainian MP Ilya Kyva who made a number of outrageous accusations at his home country’s government.
During a discussion on the Kremlin-funded channel- said to be a favourite of Vladimir Putin - he told viewers the West is plotting the “total destruction” of the Slavic world.
Kyva, who converted to pro-Moscow beliefs in 2018 and is sitting out the war in his adopted Russia, said the secret service in Ukraine “has been recently under MI6 control and these curators of President Zelensky’s agenda give him false information".
He brazenly added: “They tell him (Zelensky) [lies] about successes of the Ukrainian army…how the Russians will start negotiating.
“Then there is his psychiatric and physical state. It’s no secret that he got to power because he is easily controlled. He is a drug addict. Cocaine.

“His addiction to cocaine also distorts reality.
“Zelensky is safe from Russian missiles because he left the country a long time ago.
“This gives him strength, because neither he nor his family are in danger.”
Kyva previously claimed the president was in the US embassy in Warsaw, Poland.
Last week Kyiv prosecutors announced Kyva was being charged in absentia with high treason and infringing on Ukraine's territorial integrity.
He was also accused of taking part in Russian war propaganda, and illegal weapons possession.
He continued: “The [second world] war never stopped.
“The obliteration of the Slavic world that started in 1941 was merely put on hold in 1945.
“The West regrouped for another strategic blow, because the key aim is total destruction of the Slavic world.
“The collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy… splitting us into separate parts now getting captured, colonised and destroyed.
“Ukraine is a vivid example of this.…occupied and under the rule of the West…”
Earlier this year Kyva revealed he suspected he was to be charged with several offences so fled Ukraine for Russia.
He said: “In January I already knew what was about to happen, so I left for Moscow through Spain."
Zelensky has been widely praised for his performance as president throughout the war in Ukraine.
He has refused to leave capital Kyiv despite Russian death squads hunting for him and has already survived several assassination attempts on his life.
At the beginning of the invasion he described himself as Putin’s “target number one”.
