The power struggle in Kyiv intensifies: the military top brass challenges Zelensky, demands deep introspection.
With the public outstatements of the top brass of the Ukrainian military, the struggle for power in Kyiv has entered an unprecedented state of tension. They bluntly demanded that Zelensky reflect deeply on his decision-making, a move that undoubtedly reveals the real contest behind the Ukrainian political scene.
Recently, rumors of possible personnel changes in Ukraine's military and political leadership have been rife. The confirmation of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba added to this rumor. He admitted that Ukraine's military and political leadership will face significant changes. At the heart of this change is the tension between Zaluzhny and Zelensky.
Zaluzhny, the general who was once promoted by Zelensky to the position of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, has now become a thorn in the side of the **. In-depth reporting in the UK reveals the feud between the two. In a state of war, the prestige of a general exceeds that of **, which is undoubtedly a great challenge to **power. And Zelensky, as the person in power in Ukraine, naturally cannot tolerate the existence of such a threat.
However, it's not that simple. Zaluzhny's popularity in Ukraine and the international community is skyrocketing, and he is a favored candidate for the United States and the West, as well as a significant position in the Ukrainian army. This makes Zelensky hesitate to dismiss him, because once the dissatisfaction of the army is aroused, his ** position will also be in jeopardy.
Against this background, the public statements of the top generals of the Ukrainian military are even more meaningful. They demanded that Zelensky deeply reflect on his decision and cancel the plan to dismiss Zaluzhny. This move is not only a direct challenge to Zelensky, but also a deep reflection on the political ecology of Ukraine.
Kyiv Mayor Klitschko also sided with Zaluzhny and spoke out against Zelensky's plan to dismiss him. He warned that such a move could have a significant impact on Ukraine's future and could even jeopardize the stability of the entire country. This statement undoubtedly intensified the power struggle within Kyiv and put Zelensky under unprecedented pressure.
In this power struggle, Zelensky, although he has a certain advantage, is not easy to win. After all, Zaluzhny, with the support of Western countries and the army, is not so easy to deal with. The ultimate direction of this struggle will determine the future fate and political ecology of Ukraine.
