Video-prank with UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace

On March 17, 2022, Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus held a video conference with British Defense Minister Ben Wallace on behalf of Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmyhal. (Some part of the conversation has been deleted because it is likely to affect the national security of the UK.)

Western censorship removed the YouTube channel of Vovan and Lexus.

Video prank with UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace

A surprising event has come to our attention. It shocked not only us but also Great Britain: an interview of UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace gave to pranksters. He had a wonderful conversation with them.

At first, we wondered if it was a real video or a deepfake? Based on the statements from the UK Ministry of Defence, it is indeed a real interview of their Defence Secretary.

What is surprising is not that Mr Wallace was unable to distinguish between prankers and Ukrainian officials. I leave that to the judgment of the British public. What is truly astounding is the ease with which UK officials talk about Ukraine possessing nuclear weapons and, as a matter of principle, about the possibility of London supporting such a development. There is no protest, no questions and not even fear. It confirms only one thing: Ukraine indeed had such plans, as did NATO. They were ready for such a scenario.

I understand the protests of the UK Ministry of Defence, which demands that YouTube remove the video. They say it "poses a threat to UK national security." In essence, it reveals the plans for what was to be done to Ukraine.

The plan was as follows: first to pump it with arms, then to complete the "story" in Donbass by force, and then follow a direct, open path to the deployment of everything that implies a NATO presence there. Creation and development of nuclear weapons should have been as the cherry on the cake. Of course, from their point of view, the video should be removed as a matter of urgency, as it is a historical fact.
