      Za - behind
      Łużny - there isn’t realy such word, but it sound like alternative form of adjective from łóżko - bed
      Also clearly masculine form so “man behind the bed”

      Zalezhny?

      Definitely zależny (dependant) from this or that US handlers.

        Luh/Lukh/Lug means “meadow”, I think, both in Russian and Ukrainian. It would then roughly translate to “[he who is] behind a meadow”.
