Some media have long claimed that Zelensky wants to fire the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzh. As soon as the news came out, it naturally received attention from all sides. But a few months have passed, and Zelensky has not taken any action.
Recently, the Russian media reported on this, indicating that Zelensky has taken a serious step this time, has fired Zaluzh, and has also made a big change of blood for the Ukrainian army. Let's not mention the authenticity of this matter for the time being, but since such a signal has been released, it shows that Zelensky is dissatisfied with the current top of the Ukrainian army. Why do the subordinates of their own country have conflicts?
1. Since ancient times, generals have been at odds
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that generals and commanders are at odds on the battlefield. No matter how good the general is in the eyes of the soldiers, in the eyes of the leader, he can never see the excellence of the general. When you win a battle, you are happy, and when you lose a battle, you are angry. This phenomenon still exists in modern times.
In terms of military personnel, Zaluzh's philosophy is different from Zelensky's. In his opinion, the country needs young people to build, and it is obviously not worth blindly sending all young people to the battlefield. The fact that the sacrificed lives cannot be survived is not conducive to the long-term development of the country.
In Zelensky's view, only look at winning or losing, not looking at the process, let alone casualties. This is the same as the faint gentleman in film and television dramas.
Because of this reason, the two had no conflicts last year. The two of them are standing in different positions, seeing different perspectives, and thinking of nature is also different. Only those who have fought on the battlefield know how helpless and unworthy a large number of sacrifices are.
2. Why can't Zelensky fire Zaluzh?
As early as last year, Zelensky announced that he would fire Zaluzh. Whether it's a gimmick to confuse Russia or Zelensky really wants to do it, Zaluzh is not something he can open if he wants to. So much so that after a few months of boiling, Zaluzh is still holding important positions in the top echelons of the Ukrainian army.
Although Zelensky is the president of Ukraine, his strength and voice are not the only ones. Zarouzh's local prestige is too great, and his strength should not be underestimated. If you want to bring him down easily, you can't just make a letter of appointment. In terms of winning the hearts of the people, it is obvious that Zaluzh has won the trust of the people more than Zelensky. Zelensky has this idea, but he cannot act immediately.
From Zelensky's point of view, what he wants is the hearts of the people and the victory of the war, and he does not need a commander-in-chief with high merit. In this way, all his limelight has been stolen by the commander, what face does he have?
Therefore, the signal to fire Zaluzh was released in advance. During this time period, he tapped into Zaluj's strength and prestige bit by bit. That's when the Russian media reported that Zelensky had fired Zaluzh.
3. What are the benefits of firing Zaluzh for Zelensky?
What does it mean for a country in the midst of a deep war to fire its commander-in-chief? It is nothing more than a mess in the army. But Zelensky didn't think about this consequence, but he still had to do it.
The news about Zelensky's expulsion of Zaluzh has not been confirmed by the Ukrainian military, and their relevant personnel have not come forward to clarify, so it can be seen that there is a bit of a spearhead in this matter. If this is true, then Zelensky's expulsion of Zaluzh will do more good than bad.
First of all, in terms of prestige, Zaluzh has always contradicted him, so that the face of the leader of this country will not exist? A disobedient subordinate, no matter how capable he is, still has no need to exist. In the long run, after all, it will cause great confusion in the military and shake the country's armed strength.
The second is that when waiting for peace to come, Ukraine is going to usher in a presidential election, and Zelensky also intends to continue to participate in the election, after all, he can reap a lot of benefits in this position. Now that Zaluzh's prestige is very great, won't he be Zelensky's rival at that time? In order to eradicate this opponent as soon as possible, it is reasonable for Zelensky to fire Zaluzh.
Epilogue:
Regarding the competition between Ukraine and Russia, it is like a footwrap for the old lady, smelly and long. From the point of view of human peace, a truce between the two countries is long overdue. However, Zelensky seems to be happy with the status quo, and the purpose is not to stop the war. On the contrary, there is a sense of déjà vu that has become a-stirring stick for the international community.
In the war between Ukraine and Russia, Zaluzh disobeyed Zelensky's orders many times because of his disagreement with Zelensky's ideas, which has long made Zelensky dissatisfied. Since ancient times, the generals who have been high-ranking have not ended well. In the international community, Zelensky's prestige has long been robbed by Zaluzh, and Zaluzh is even more popular. If he can really be fired, it will be of great benefit to him to run for the presidency of Ukraine again in the future, and he will have one less strong competitor.
