Zaluzhny's dismissal is only the tip of the iceberg, and the reshuffle at the top of Ukraine is attracting widespread attention. The decision of the Ukrainian ** Zelensky to dismiss the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny caused a huge shock in the international community.
In the run-up to war, a change of battle is often seen as a taboo, but Ukraine seems to be unfazed. Zaluzhny managed to hold off the Russian offensive in the face of reduced Western aid and serious problems, and his military capabilities are beyond doubt. However, why did Zelensky fire him? There are many opinions on this issue, but there are probably two main reasons.
First of all, there are serious ** problems with the Ukrainian army. A recent case involved $40 million, involving high-level officials such as the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and arsenals, and involving a huge number of mortar shells. What is even more worrying is that a large amount of aid to Ukraine has flowed into the international black market, even to Mexican gangs and Middle Eastern militias. The source of these acts may be related to Zaluzhny, and even though he was not directly involved, he may have tacitly acquiesced in the corrupt practices of his subordinates.
Secondly, Zaluzhny and Zelensky have differences on a number of policies, especially on the issue of conscription. Zaluzhny advocated lowering the age of conscription, while Zelensky has not been able to reply. Such policy differences can be a direct cause of dismissal. Looking back at history, we have seen Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner group, mutiny due to a disagreement with Putin over a special military operation, which ended in a plane crash. Does Zaluzhny's dismissal mean that he will follow a similar path?
While the international community is widely concerned about this incident, Zelensky has released a bombshell. In an interview with Italy, he said that he was thinking not only about sacking Zaluzhny, but also about rectifying the country's leadership. The dismissal of Zaluzhny is only the beginning, and Zelensky's ultimate goal may be a complete change of leadership throughout Ukraine. At a dangerous time when both Europe and Russia are carving up Ukraine, why is Zelensky taking such risks?
Judging by the attitude of the White House towards Zaluzhny's dismissal, it may be glimpsed. Although in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Zaluzhny should not be removed from office in any case, because it is unknown whether the new leader will be able to withstand the Russian offensive. However, the White House did not oppose Zelensky's decision and even acquiesced in it.
This shows that there is a conflict of interest between Zaluzhny and Zelensky, and the United States behind Zelensky. Zaluzhny was previously rumored to be holding peace talks with Russia on behalf of Ukraine, showing that there are voices seeking reconciliation within Ukraine's top leadership, which Zelensky and the United States do not want to see. Despite the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States still wants Russia's efforts to be distracted to prevent it from intervening in the Middle East.
The internal contradictions of Ukraine, as well as those with the United States, can no longer be concealed. Zelensky's actions are actually purging dissidents, and if voices of internal reconciliation are extinguished, Ukraine could descend into an even more serious war. However, if Ukraine disintegrates internally, Putin could be the biggest winner. At this turbulent time, the question of whether the international community can intervene to prevent the further escalation of the crisis in the Middle East has become an important question before us.
In this high-level reshuffle in Ukraine, the dismissal of Zaluzhny is only the tip of the iceberg. Zelensky's decision has turned the entire international arena into obscurity. With the internal turmoil in Ukraine, the world has also become more concerned about the direction of the situation in the Middle East.
At the same time as the dismissal of the top military leaders, Ukraine also revealed a plan for a complete reset of the country's leadership. Behind this move is a power struggle within Ukraine and a complicated relationship with the United States. Zaluzhny's dismissal may be just the beginning of a wave that heralds more political upheaval and change to come.
At the same time, the conflict and tensions inside and outside Ukraine have caused widespread concern across the globe. In the midst of the changes at the top of Ukraine, there is a lot of concern about whether there are voices seeking reconciliation and seeking dialogue with Russia. This may be the long-awaited glimmer of hope for the Ukrainian people, but it could also spark a wider dispute.
Zelensky's move has been interpreted by the outside world as a comprehensive response to internal and external problems, however, the complex factors behind this still need to be deeply observed. As the crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate, Ukraine's political decisions will affect the international landscape. How to balance internal contradictions and defuse external pressure will be a major test for the Ukrainian leadership.
It can be seen from the attitude of the White House that the United States' support for Ukraine is not blind, but more based on complex international political calculations. Zaluzhny's dismissal may be a move, but it is by no means the only decision. The future trend of Ukraine's internal and external affairs will have a direct impact on the global situation, and we have reason to continue to pay attention to and think about the development of this political storm. At this time of great change, the only thing that is certain is that Ukraine's fate will usher in a pivotal page in this power game.
