Internal strife at the top level of Ukraine is raging. President Zelensky is trying to remove Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny from his post. The matter has been rumored for several days, but it still has not been settled. Instead, it has become more complicated.
currently has many versions uploaded.
A generally accepted theory is that Zelensky called Zaluzhny to a meeting, and then showed his cards on the spot and made the decision to remove him.
Zaluzhne did not resist and accepted the decision, but due to Western opposition, Zelensky was forced to withdraw his order. After
, there was news that Zelensky sent a notice to the United States, informing the United States that Zaluzhny would be fired.
The White House stated that it would not intervene in this matter, but Nuland, the U.S. Under Secretary of State for Ukrainian Affairs, suddenly went to Ukraine, which made it clear that it was going to intervene.
Now, some clear information has finally been made public, indicating that this matter is indeed not simple.
Zelensky confirmed his intention to replace Zaluzhny
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed in an interview with a European media that he was considering replacing Zaluzhny. This is true.
This can be regarded as public proof of the authenticity of the removal of Zaluzhny.
Zelensky said he was "considering" it, indicating that Zaluzhny still had not been removed from his post.
Zelensky also admitted that it is indeed difficult to replace Zaluzhny. He said that replacing one person does not mean that he can hit the road now. This issue involves the entire management team that drives the state machine.
Taken together, what Zelensky means is that he is considering replacing Zaluzhny, but he cannot make this personnel adjustment "on the road" immediately.
Pressure comes from outside
Zelensky hinted that the pressure came from within, claiming that it involved "the entire management team", but in essence, the pressure came from outside.
Because high-level officials in Ukraine have close relations with Western countries, some of them can be said to be agents of the West.
If there is really pressure from within, these people are also exerting pressure on behalf of the forces behind them.
If there are just different voices internally, Zelensky, as a wartime president, can make decisions against all opinions and will not be entangled all the time.
Now the United States is sending its deputy secretary of state to Kiev, which is more like a form of face-to-face pressure. It is likely that he is going to Paozha Luzhny.
So after the news came out that Zelensky informed the United States that Zaluzhny had been fired, Zelensky himself came forward and said that he was only "considering" firing Zaluzhny.
This seems like a clarification, sending a signal that Zaluzhny has not been dismissed and is still fulfilling his responsibilities as commander-in-chief.
Zelensky’s prestige has been ruined
Logically speaking, as a wartime president, Zelensky has the power to change the commander-in-chief. As a result, Zaluzhny is still performing his duties normally after wrangling for such a long time.
If the previous revelations are true, then Zelensky has taken two actions, one is a face-to-face showdown, and the other is to inform the United States of his decision.
was dismissed twice without success. He also publicly stated that "replacing a person does not mean that he can hit the road now" and admitted that it would be difficult to replace Zaluzhny. This was enough to destroy Zelensky's prestige.
Now Zelenskiy is in a difficult position. Things have reached this point. If Zaluzh is not replaced, even if the president can stay in office, what use will his words be?
If Zaluzhny is forcibly replaced despite all kinds of resistance, it may anger those who want to keep Zaluzhny, which will lead to Zelensky's presidential throne not being guaranteed.
So why is it said that Zelensky is an agent, or even a puppet, who cannot even exercise the power to appoint and remove personnel? What else can he decide?
