Mikhail Ivanovich Ulyanov

On 12 August 2022, he declared that anti-Russian sanctions had completely failed. On August 20, 2022, in response to the publication of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the US armed assistance to Ukraine, Ulyanov wrote on the official Twitter channel: “No mercy for the Ukrainian population.” He subsequently deleted his post, apologizing and saying "I forgot who I'm dealing with". Analyst Olga Lautman commented on the removal: “The Chekist war criminal apologized for admitting that Russian military targets are Ukrainians. This part was to be kept secret.” Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President's Office in Ukraine, noted that the call for genocide of the Ukrainian people is unacceptable. Ulyanov called attempts to accuse him of calling for the genocide of the Ukrainian people outrageous, claiming his words “No mercy for the Ukrainian population” ment that the US supposedly does not have mercy for Ukrainians due to its armed assistance, not that he does not want mercy for Ukrainians.
