WeneedLumme Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 4 hours ago, RomanPer said: It's a shit show at the moment. Of course MOD will deny it. Apparently, there's pressure on Zelensky now from the ambassadors of the major donor countries to Ukraine to explain himself and reverse the decision. The information is coming directly from the unoffiicial sources in the president's office, so I highly doubt it's russian informational war trick. I do hope it's incorrect, but knowing Zelensky - I wouldn't be surprised. He's proven many times in the past (before the war) that he's petty and doesn't see the big picture. I think he does see the big picture, so when he heard all the outrage from his allies, he promptly reversed his decision. Not seeing the big picture would mean ignoring the outrage and refusing to change his decision, like Putin does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they can be classified as a 'legitimate military target' then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanPer Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Zelensky definitely wanted to fire Zalyzhny yesterday and only push back from multiple directions and Zalyzhny’s unwillingness to go “quietly” made him to pull back temporarily. Here’s an article from Financial Times on the subject. As you can see, it wasn’t Russian social media campaign. https://www.ft.com/content/aa9aacfc-c248-4550-bf28-d79ad4c553cb “Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepares to replace Ukraine’s top general Removal of Valeriy Zaluzhny would mark biggest shake-up of military command since Russia’s full-scale invasion Christopher Miller in Kyiv 2 HOURS AGO Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to replace his top general in what would be the biggest shake-up of Ukraine’s military command since Russia’s full-scale invasion began two years ago. Zelenskyy on Monday offered Valeriy Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of the armed forces, a new role as a defence adviser but the general refused, according to four people familiar with the discussions. Two of them said Zelenskyy had made clear to Zaluzhny that regardless of whether he took the role, he would be removed from his current position. The four people said that while a decision had been made in Zelenskyy’s office to dismiss Zaluzhny, he may not be ousted for some time after reports of the plans appeared in Ukrainian media. The president’s offer of a new role to the general follows months of speculation about his fate, fed by reports of tension between the two men. Their strained relationship spilled into the open in November after Ukraine’s much-hyped counteroffensive failed to achieve its ambitious goals of retaking lost territory and cutting off Russia’s land bridge to Crimea. At the time, Zaluzhny said that the war had reached a “stalemate”, leading the president’s office to castigate him for using the term. On Monday, Zelenskyy’s spokesperson, Serhiy Nykyforov, and the defence ministry denied reports about Zaluzhny’s dismissal. “Dear journalists, we immediately answer everyone: No, this is not true,” the ministry wrote on its Telegram channel without providing additional context. The president’s office declined to comment further on Tuesday. The removal of Zaluzhny would also cause an uproar within Ukraine’s rank-and-file military and civil society, among whom he enjoys huge support. In a Ukrainian poll released in December, 88 per cent of Ukrainians said they trusted Zaluzhny compared with 62 per cent who said they trusted Zelenskyy. “This will have a very, very negative impact on the [morale] of the army,” Ukrainian military historian Mykhailo Zhyrokhov told Kyiv’s Radio NV, who added that he believed the rumours to be “fabrication”. Replacing Zaluzhny could also unnerve Ukraine’s western partners, including military officials who have worked closely with the general over the past two years to devise battlefield strategies. The war is at a critical juncture as Kyiv waits to see whether it will receive billions of dollars’ worth of critical military and financial assistance from the US and the EU. Zaluzhny has not commented on the reports of his dismissal. On Monday, however, he published an undated selfie with his chief of the general staff Serhiy Shaptala on Facebook in which both were wearing Ukrainian army sweatshirts.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
