Recently, the news that Zelensky of Ukraine will dismiss the commander-in-chief of the armed forces Zaluzhny has been spreading on the Internet in Ukraine and the West.
According to relevant sources, Zelensky met with Zaluzhny on January 29, offered a new position and asked him to resign as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but Zaluzhny refused.
It is said that Syrsky, commander of the Ukrainian army, and Budanov, head of the Main Directorate of Ukrainian military intelligence, are the most likely successors to Zaluzhny because of their close ties to Zelensky.
After the news, Zelensky was forced to put this plan on hold for the time being, but did not give up.
Biden is extremely worried about the infighting at the top of Ukraine, because the United States has been developing a new offensive strategy for Ukraine, and the discord between Zelensky and Zaluzhny is bound to have an impact on the offensive.
In fact, before that, Zelensky had repeatedly almost dismissed Zaluzhny.
For several months, Ukrainian political, military, news** and the Internet have been rumors about Zaluzhny's dismissal.
The openness of the contradictions between Zaluzhny and Zelensky undoubtedly confirms the rumors.
At the moment, it is not clear how the incident will end.
But if Zaluzhny remains in office, it will make Zelensky appear weak, and if he is dismissed, it will only damage the credibility of the Ukrainian leadership among the people.
Zaluzhny's dismissal is increasingly likely, possibly posing risks to Ukraine and the progress of the fighting.
The disagreements between Zelensky and Zaluzhny are approaching a flashpoint, perhaps not only in terms of different views on the war, but also in terms of personal contradictions and lack of trust.
Some Ukrainian lawmakers said the high-level chaos had affected army morale and cooperation with allies.
Biden hopes Ukraine will be able to step up plans to fight Russia in 2024, but Washington is concerned that the differences between Zelensky and Zaluzhny are undermining efforts to develop a new offensive strategy.
In addition to internal worries, there are also external troubles. Now, many countries in Europe and the United States do not want to continue to provide full assistance to Ukraine.
On February 1, the European Union held a special summit on aid to Ukraine.
France** Macron urged European leaders to make bold decisions to accelerate aid to Ukraine.
He also called on European countries to support Ukraine for a long time and be ready in case Washington stops aiding Ukraine.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also said in parliament that every effort will be made to unite European partners and ensure assistance to Ukraine.
However, although European countries are verbally calling for strengthening aid to Ukraine, there are many internal contradictions.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, France's direct assistance to Ukraine has been only 54.4 billion euros is nothing more than an empty slogan.
And in December last year, the U.S. Senate rejected a bill to provide more than $100 billion in aid to Ukraine and Israel.
During the bill's vote, Senate Republicans took the lead in opposing the bill, citing "a lack of border and immigration responses." In the end, the bill was rejected.
Many U.S. lawmakers accuse Biden of being misguided and focusing only on international issues while ignoring his own security issues.
In this regard, the White House issued a document saying: Biden has made it clear to Congress that US funding for Ukraine will run out by the end of this year, and a supplementary budget request needs to be passed.
However, the American people and lawmakers do not want to continue to pay for the bottomless pit that Ukraine is facing!
As for European countries, there is not much agreement on the internal position around the Ukrainian crisis.
Hungary continues to pursue an independent policy towards Russia and continues to maintain official relations with Russia in order to ensure energy efficiency.
Croatia follows the policy of the European Union, while Milanovic strongly criticizes Western military support for Ukraine.
In general, European countries face multiple challenges and contradictions in the face of the Ukrainian crisis.
European countries are no longer as supportive of Ukraine as they used to be, and they no longer support Ukraine unconditionally.
The European Union tried to assist Ukraine in maintaining agricultural exports, but Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania imposed a temporary ban on Ukrainian grain imports in May 2023 in order to protect their farmers from the onslaught of cheap Ukrainian agricultural products.
However, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia ignored the EU's decision after the EU announced the lifting of the ban in September.
On November 8, 2023, Polish truck drivers formed a massive truck jam at three major border crossings in southeastern Poland to block the passage of Ukrainian grain transport trucks.
In response to Ukraine**Zelensky's inappropriate remarks at the UN General Assembly, Poland once threatened to stop the transfer to Ukraine**.
Truckers in Slovakia have carried out similar activities, with the EU allowing Ukrainian trucks to enter the EU without restrictions.
Slovakia's new Prime Minister Fizo has decided to stop providing military assistance to Ukraine.
Since the summer of last year, Ukraine has gathered a large number of troops to launch a counter-charge operation against the Russian army, but almost no progress has been made for several months, and the losses are very serious, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has changed its offensive plan.
Zelensky's most basic goal is to recapture **Mutt in 2023 and declare his determination to the world, but this goal has not been achieved.
Now, Ukraine is facing serious internal and external troubles, I wonder how long Zelensky can last?
I wonder what everyone thinks? Thanks for reading, welcome to communicate!
