It is reported that with the outflow of more and more news, the struggle between Ukrainian ** Zelensky and Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny is gradually "white-hot". According to the Financial Times, Zelensky's plan to reshuffle the country's leadership, including the dismissal of Zaluzhny, has made his Western partners nervous. Although the contradictions between the two have become more and more serious since last year, no one expected that Ukraine** would be able to dismiss the commander-in-chief in wartime in the case of "external contradictions" against Russia, so things are quite strange. At present, the official information of Ukraine has not been exposed, but multiple sources say that the matter is almost immutable, and Ukraine has also obtained the opinion of the United States in advance.
The news mentioned that the United States believes that the accident can be characterized as "the friction between the Ukrainian military and civilian ** is the most serious one of the Ukrainian leadership since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict". As for the reason, there are also different opinions, some voices claim that this incident is due to Zaluzhny's "war weariness" and negative emotions, and he has publicly stated that it is difficult for the Ukrainian army to make a breakthrough on the front line, which has caused Zelensky's serious dissatisfaction. Another part of the opinion said that the real situation is the power struggle between Zaluzhny and Zelensky, the former has accumulated too much prestige in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which almost makes Zelensky "difficult to control the troops", so Zaluzhny is to be squeezed out.
On the 5th, things were updated again. Shevchenko, a member of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine, said in an interview that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Zaluzhny, has agreed to take up the post of Ukrainian ambassador to the United Kingdom, and the matter is equivalent to a basic settlement. Shevchenko also said that if he did not go to Britain as ambassador, it would be difficult for Zaluzhny to succeed in Ukraine after his resignation, but after he took office, it was basically equivalent to being declared the end of his political career. Kyiv Mayor Klychko and others** warned that the Ukrainian leadership must see the current situation clearly, know the seriousness of the measures they are taking and the scope of their impact, as well as stop all kinds of unnecessary political struggles.
Analysts say that no matter what reason Zelensky and Zaluzhny disagree, the outcome of this incident will have a huge impact on Ukraine. One is that Zaluzhny is not at fault judging from the results of the command, their counterattack failed last year, and the United States has predicted in advance that according to the limited scale of Ukraine's counterattack, especially if they have been attrition in advance, there will not be much progress, and it turns out that this is the case. The second is that Ukraine needs a stable leadership and military command, both of which are indispensable. An attempt to "depose" one of them for any goal will disappoint the population, and it is impossible for the Kiev side not to be clear about the consequences.
It is also worth mentioning that Ukraine*** and the former deputy secretary of the National Defense Council Krivornos even publicly rebuked Zelensky, saying that Ukraine "needs to reflect on itself" rather than dismiss other officers. Because no one has a problem with Zaluzhny, if [Zelensky] is to think about a change of leadership, his priority should be his own. There is a comment on this: "Judging from various past experiences, Zelensky's desire to control power can be described as very large; Zaluzhny would not have had this result if he had initially been involved only in military rather than political matters, but his political sensitivity was clearly not enough. ”
