The two-year war between Russia and Ukraine is not over. However, the internal political crisis in Ukraine has already attracted the attention of the international community. The escalation of the conflict between Zelensky and his military adviser Zaluzhny in Ukraine has led to a series of palace dramas.
According to the Financial Times, Zelensky once tried to fire Zaluzhenne after being rejected by Western countries. Western countries believe that Zaluzhny is the spiritual leader of the Ukrainian military, and if he resigns, the Ukrainian defense forces will be damaged. So Zelensky had no choice but to suspend his command, but he did not stop there.
Zelensky and Zalu launched a major counterattack a year ago, and the two sides disagreed. The incident comes as the Ukrainian military seeks to retake Russian-controlled territory in the east. However, they suffered heavy losses under the fierce resistance of the Russian troops. The Ukrainian military has exhausted their strategic operational capabilities, and they are running out of equipment and ammunition.
Zelensky said that Zaluzhny made a wrong strategy. He condemned Zaluzhny for abandoning the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) offensive of spot-to-point, point-to-point. He believes that as long as the Ukrainian troops break through the Russian "Surovikin" defense line at one time, they can quickly march to the Sea of Azov, thus cutting off Russia's ** line.
Zaluzhny felt that Zelensky was trying to justify his election defeat, but he did not do so. He defended that his rejection of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's proposal was based on professional military judgment. He felt that the "wave of waves" strategy was too risky, and that once it fell into Russia's network of mines and firepower, it would be surrounded, and finally surrounded. He is confident that, despite the various forms of the offensive, the results did not lead to the desired results.
The quarrel erupted in November last year. When Zaluzhny was interviewed by American journalists, he did not say that Zelensky called "the situation is good", but directly said that the war has entered a "stalemate". This made Zelensky feel insulted, so he decided to remove Zaluzhi as a punishment for him.
However, Zelensky did not receive any help from Western countries. Zaluzhny has shown courage and wisdom in the Russian-Ukrainian war and is a competent army commander. He had launched a victorious ** in Kharkiv and broke through the Russian blockade against it. At the same time, he is also trusted by the Ukrainian people and is more popular than Zelensky. Western countries are worried that Zaluzhny's removal will undermine the morale of the Ukrainian military, weaken Ukraine's defense forces, and endanger Ukraine's political situation.
The infighting between Zelensky and Zaluzhny has made the war in Ukraine even more difficult. The voluntary surrender of the Ukrainian military, the execution of deserters, and the mass conscription of soldiers in the rear all indicate the demoralization of the Ukrainian troops and the lack of troops. Ukraine poured its most precious supplies into the war, but in the end it failed to turn the tide of the war. Russia's military power continues to strengthen and expand its sphere of influence, maintaining a certain dominance. At the same time, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has also shifted its strategy against Ukraine, abandoning counterattacks against Ukraine in favor of assisting Ukraine in retaining its remaining lands. Ukraine has completely lost the initiative in this war and is almost in a very negative state in the face of the Russian attack.
On the Ukrainian side, it is a dead end. The territory of Ukraine, in fact, is fragmented. Zelensky betrayed the people of Ukraine. The future of Ukraine has long been abandoned by the West. The only way is to find an exit from Ukraine from the east.
