The Russian-Ukrainian war has been going on for three years, and the news that the supreme commander of the Ukrainian military, Zaluzhny, will be removed from his post has spread quickly on the Internet, causing great anxiety inside and outside Ukraine. There are even reports that the United States issued three "warnings" to Zelensky not to fire Zaluzhny in order to stop Kyiv's moves.
Zelensky once tried to give Zaluzhenne a new job to get him out of his current position, according to people familiar with the matter. But Zaluzhny categorically disagreed. After the incident, Zelensky was forced to suspend the project under public pressure.
A Ukrainian blogger cites information that Zelensky has already consulted with the US White House, the US *** and the Department of Defense, but, judging by the current situation, the American side is not in favor of removing Zaluzhny from his post.
With last year's counterattack not unfolding as expected, the United States has paid more attention to Zelenskyy's disagreement with Zaluzhny and its new tactics in Ukraine.
According to speculation, it is the commander of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, who has the ability to replace Zaulzeni, as well as the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, Budanov. Both are close to Zelensky, but it is uncertain whether they will succeed in taking Zaluzeni's place.
For several months, news has been circulating in Ukrainian politics, military, news**, as well as on the Internet that "Zaluzhny will be fired". Zelensky expressed great anger at Zaluzhny's open opposition to Zelensky's regime, and the Ukrainian government openly criticized Zaluzeni's comments. The feud between the two is already a well-known thing in political circles.
When the Russian-Ukrainian war entered its third year, the Ukrainian army still did not make any substantial progress. How could Zelensky take risks at this critical moment?
Some analysts believe that Zelensky may want to understand the attitude of the Ukrainian people and Western countries by revealing the information about Zaluzhny's dismissal to the outside world, and then make a final judgment. The move is also intended to highlight the weakening of U.S. aid to Ukraine and the adverse impact on the Ukrainian army, which has led to deep divisions within the Ukrainian leadership.
In particular, in a poll on Ukrainians, Zelensky's approval rating has fallen to 62% from 84% in December last year. Zaluzhny's trust rating has risen to 88 percent, which is not much.
Moreover, it is said that the United States and the West seem to intend to hand over Zelensky to Zaluzhny to pick him up, which probably also brings Zelensky a sense of crisis that he has never had. In this situation, Zaluzhny has naturally become a thorn in Zelensky's heart, but with the United States in the way, it is difficult for him to get rid of this Zaluzhny!
On the whole, Zaluzhny's ouster is only a matter of time, but it will pose a danger to Ukraine and the course of the war. This volatile situation is a huge shock to the Ukrainian regime, and at the same time adds new difficulties to the handling of the entire conflict.
