Why Zelenskyy fired Zaluzhnyi
Why Zelenskyy fired Zaluzhnyi
The Ukrainian president has turned to new military leadership in the hope that it will end the stalemate in the war against Russia.
I would have thought that his public articles regarding military planning and needs would have been enough. This information was sensitive. Though those articles had a lot of truth to them... this nature of war has changed so we failed was a a bit CYA too.
There were many other factors too. First offense is a lot harder and Ukaininan army unlikely has the skills for large scale maneuver warefare. Secondly, they wasted a lot of their force across the front and did not concentrate on a single direction. The west has been a day late and a dollar short on supplies as well. They do not have air superiority and long range attack weapons too. The constraints the West puts on ukraine... no use of our weapons on Russian territory is absurd. Finally Ukrainian society not moving to full mobalization is nuts.
Edit: Also lack of political clarity in the West has been a huge issue.
Yeah. I can't even imagine watching my friends die and my country get invaded and watching the bullshit that comes out of the US government about the reasons why we could help you with resources to fight back, but we're not going to yet, or maybe ever. But we might.
It's like some Jigsaw shit.
Same here. It feels like we as a country have have failed them in a pretty basic way.
