Can you imagine?Ukraine's ** Zelensky, who was once a hero in the eyes of the people, had a support rating of 84% a year ago, but now he has been overtaken by the commander-in-chief of the army, Zaluzhny, with only 62% of the trust remaining. What's going on?What exactly did Zelensky do wrong?What will happen to him?Let's take a look.
Zelensky's background and problems
Zelenskyy is a former comedian who was elected to Ukraine in 2019 with 73% of the vote under the slogan of anti-corruption. He pledged to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, improve people's livelihoods, and build a new Ukraine. His supporters have high hopes for him as a charismatic, capable, and idealistic leader.
However, after Zelensky took office, he faced many difficulties and challenges. His anti-corruption reforms have been thwarted by powerful opposition forces, his peace initiatives have not received a response from Russia, and his livelihood policies have not led to substantial improvements. His supporters began to lose themselves in him, and his opponents began to attack him. His approval ratings began to slip, and his authority began to waver.
Zaluzhny's background and advantages
Zaluzhny is a former diplomat who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army by Zelensky in 2019. He was an experienced, prestigious, and courageous military commander. In the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, he has shown a firm position and decisive actions. He not only commanded the ** of the Ukrainian army, but also organized the reform of the Ukrainian army, which increased the combat effectiveness and morale of the Ukrainian army. His supporters admired him, and his subordinates were loyal to him. His trust began to rise, and his influence began to expand.
Contradictions and conflicts between Zelensky and Zaluzhny
The contradictions and conflicts between Zelensky and Zaluzhny are mainly reflected in two aspects: the attitude towards Russia and the management of the army.
The attitude towards Russia, Zelensky is inclined towards a peaceful settlement, and Zaluzhny is inclined to confrontation by force. Zelensky hopes that through dialogue and negotiations, peaceful coexistence between Ukraine and Russia will be achieved and Ukraine's territorial integrity will be restored. Zaluzhny believes that only through force and struggle can the sovereignty and dignity of Ukraine be defended and Russian aggression expelled. Zelensky and Zaluzhny have fundamental differences and antagonisms on this issue.
For the management of the army, Zelensky is inclined to reform and supervision, and Zaluzhny is inclined to maintain and autonomous. Zelensky found that there is corruption and malfeasance in the Ukrainian army, and some heads of conscription accept bribes to help some evade military service. He decided to dismiss these people and replace them with wounded soldiers from the front. Zaluzhny believes that this is disrespect and interference in the army, affecting the army's call-up and fighting. He openly stated that Zelensky's approach was wrong and that the newly appointed head of the conscription was unprofessional. Zelensky and Zaluzhny have obvious contradictions and conflicts on this issue.
Zelensky's fate and consequences
Zelensky's approval rating was overtaken by Zaluzhny, which not only reflects his political defeat, but also foreshadows his political crisis. If elections are held in Ukraine at this time, Zelensky is likely to lose to Zaluzhny and be ousted. Even without elections, Zelensky will face powerful political opponents and a disgruntled populace, and his power and position will be seriously threatened and challenged. His end could be tragic, and his consequences could be severe.
So, will Zelensky be able to salvage the situation and regain the hearts and minds of the people?In my opinion, he needs to do the following:
First, he needs to adjust his attitude towards Russia, abandon illusions and resolutely resist. He can no longer have illusions of peace with Russia, which will not easily give up control and interference in Ukraine. He must resolutely resist Russian aggression and safeguard the interests and dignity of Ukraine. He should support the military campaign in Zaluzhny and give him adequate resources and trust. Only in this way can he win the support of the population and the respect of the army.
Second, he needs to improve the management, respect and trust of the military. He can no longer carry out unreasonable interference and reform of the army, which is not his toy and tool. He must respect and trust the professionalism and autonomy of the armed forces and give them sufficient power and space. He should listen to Zaluzhny's opinions and suggestions and maintain good communication and cooperation with him. Only in this way can he avoid contradictions and conflicts with the army and maintain his authority and position.
Third, he needs to strengthen the improvement of people's livelihood to achieve and deliver. He can no longer make empty promises and propaganda about the improvement of people's livelihood, which is not his gimmick or pretense. He must realize and implement his livelihood policies and provide adequate welfare and security to the people. He should pay attention to the needs and demands of the people and solve their difficulties and problems. Only in this way can he regain the trust and support of the people.
Opportunities and challenges in Zaluzhny
Zaluzhny's trust level surpasses that of Zelensky, reflecting not only his military success, but also his political opportunities. If elections are held in Ukraine at this time, there is a good chance that Zaluzhny will win the votes of the people and become the new **. Even if there are no elections, Zaluzhny will have a strong following and his popularity and status will grow. His opportunities may be many, and his challenges may be few.
So, will Zaluzhny be able to seize the opportunity and become the leader of Ukraine?In my opinion, he needs to pay attention to the following:
First, he needs to maintain resistance to Russia, but not too aggressively. He can't act too aggressively because of his hatred of Russia, which provokes even greater conflicts and crises. He must maintain resistance to Russia, but also take into account Ukraine's strength and interests and seek a reasonable solution. He should maintain a certain amount of communication and coordination with Zelensky to avoid the emergence of two opposing centers.
Second, he needs to expand the reform of the military, but not neglect the people's livelihood. He cannot ignore the improvement of the people's livelihood because of the importance he attaches to the army, which is not his whole and goal. He must expand the reform of the armed forces, but he must also be concerned about the situation of the people's livelihood and give them sufficient care and help. He should learn from Zelensky's experience and lessons to balance the development of the military and the people's livelihood.
Thirdly, he needs to increase propaganda and education of the population, but not abuse his power. He cannot abuse his power because of the influence he has on the people, who are not his tools and toys. He must increase the propaganda and education of the people, but also respect the will and choice of the people, and give the people sufficient freedom and rights. He should abide by the laws and institutions of Ukraine and uphold democracy and the rule of law in Ukraine.
Ending
Ukraine's ** Zelensky, who was once a hero in the eyes of the people, had a support rating of 84% a year ago, but now he has been overtaken by the commander-in-chief of the army, Zaluzhny, with only 62% of the trust remaining. This is a shocking reversal and a thought-provoking phenomenon.
It reflects the complexity and turmoil of Ukraine's politics and society, and also foreshadows the uncertainty and risks of Ukraine's future and destiny. We hope that Ukraine will be able to get out of its predicament and find a way out of its predicament to achieve peace, development and prosperity. We also hope that Ukraine's ** and army will be able to make the right choices and actions for the sake of the people and interests of Ukraine, not for their own selfish interests and ambitions. We hope that the people of Ukraine can use their wisdom and strength to decide their own destiny and future, and choose their own leaders and leaders. This is Ukraine's responsibility and Ukraine's hope.
