According to the West, Zelensky once again quarreled with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. On the 29th, Zelensky summoned Zaluzhny in his office and demanded his resignation, which was rejected by Zaluzhny. Annoyed and angry, Zelensky released cruel words, he will sign a ** order to remove Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief. Zaluzhny angrily returned to the office to pack his things and told the deputy that he had been fired. Although Zelensky has not officially ordered the dismissal of Zaluzhny yet, it does not mean that Zaluzhny is safe, most likely because there is no suitable person to replace him, and the outside world speculates that it may be the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Budanov, or the commander of the Ukrainian Army, General Syrsky. 
The contradictions between Zelensky and Zaluzhny have a long historyZaluzhny was born in 1973, from a military family, studied at the Army Research Institute of the Odessa Military Academy and the Kyiv National Defense Academy, and after graduation, he started as a platoon commander, and in more than 30 years, he was promoted step by step to become a member of the Ukrainian *** Committee and the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zaluzhny commanded the Ukrainian army in his capacity as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and his record was remarkable, thwarting the Russian army's plan to quickly capture Kyiv, forcing the Russian army to change from a quick decisive battle to a protracted war. Until now, the Ukrainian army has maintained considerable combat effectiveness, and the reasons for this, in addition to the strong assistance of Western countries, are also inseparable from Zaluzhny's correct strategy and tactics and superb command art. It is said that it was his outstanding performance that caused unease in the heart of Ukrainian ** Zelensky. Last year, there were rumors on the Internet that relations between Zelensky and Zaluzhny were strained. With the defeat of the Ukrainian army, the relationship between the two became public. 
In this conflict, Zaluzhny has publicly expressed concern about the situation in the Russia-Ukraine war, saying that the situation has reached a stalemate. The statement was immediately met with a tough response from Ukraine's office, which condemned Zaluzhny's use of the word "stalemate" to describe the fighting, arguing that it could affect morale and citizens' confidence. And among the Ukrainian people, Zaluzhny's popularity is growing day by day. A poll in December showed that a whopping 88 percent of respondents said they trusted Zaluzhny, compared with 62 percent supporting Zelensky. In this context, some speculate that Zelensky's distrust of Zaluzhny may stem from the fear of "high merit", fearing that Zaluzhny's prestige and influence may surpass his own. This concern is not unfounded. In Ukraine, popular trust is an important cornerstone of the power of a political leader, and a trusted military commander will naturally have a place in the country's political arena. Zaluzhny's high approval rating could give him more influence in decision-making and may even directly or indirectly challenge Zelensky's leadership. Another reason is that Zaluzhny is from a military background, and his understanding of war is different from that of a layman like Zelensky, and it is easy to have a dispute over routes. The conflict of ideas is often the fuse of political struggles, and it cannot be eliminated by selling interests. This kind of ideological conflict will make the political conflict more and more intense, to the point of non-stop. 
Zelensky and Zaluzhny fell out, and Western countries sweatedThe recent contradictions between Zelensky and Zaluzhny have worried Western countries. At a time when Ukraine is enduring the dire situation of Russian aggression, the stability of Ukraine's military and political leadership is critical to maintaining morale and securing Western assistance. Zelensky's resolute leadership in the international arena, as Ukraine's leader, is the core of Ukraine's support from the West, and Zaluzhny, as commander-in-chief, his rich military experience and command ability are the key to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army. Zelensky will face complex political challenges if he removes Zaluzhny. Such an act could be interpreted as a sign of serious infighting at the top of Ukraine, which would not only shake the confidence of the allies in Ukraine, but could also affect future military and financial assistance. Confusion at the top will undoubtedly be transmitted to the military, affecting the morale of soldiers and interfering with coordination with Western allied officers. 
The close collaboration between the two of them is very important during this critical period. Zaluzhny holds the day-to-day command and strategic deployment of the Ukrainian army and is essential to maintain front-line resistance. Zelensky, for his part, needs to ensure a united front at home and abroad and continue to enlist the support and assistance of the international community. Any adjustment to Zaluzhny's post is likely to cause confusion and negative consequences. Assuming that Zaluzhny is dismissed, can it be ensured that his military qualities will catch up with Zaluzhny, and will it not affect the situation of the war? This person must have deep military knowledge, strategic planning ability, extensive support and trust from senior officers and soldiers in the army, and be familiar with the situation on the battlefield in Russia and Ukraine. Moreover, the United States also plans to give Ukraine a new aid this year, planning a **, if Zaluzhny is dismissed, it is likely to affect the next ** plan. Regardless of the outcome, the contradictions between Zelensky and Zaluzhny will affect the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Historically, discord between monarchs and ministers has always been the starting point of a country's decline, and Ukraine is not exempt from vulgarity.
