America’s lack of opposition to Zalogeni’s dismissal

Fars News Agency International Group; “The government has not been able to mobilize enough forces”, this is the new criticism of Ukrainian senior general Valery Zalogeny of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government after reports about the Ukrainian president’s attempt to remove him from the responsibility of war command.

Zalogeni insists on the mobilization of 400,000 reserve forces and warns that replacing him will not improve the conditions of the battlefield and on the need to mobilize forces to maintain equality with the Russian forces. has emphasised.

According to a source close to Zelenskiy’s office, he informed the White House of these differences and of his intention to fire Zalognyi, and heard back that “U.S. There is no problem with Zalogeni’s dismissal.” According to the reports, the American officials said that they are not against this action and that Kiev itself should decide about its personnel.

The differences between these two senior political and military officials over a range of issues have intensified in the midst of conflicts with Russia after the failure of Ukraine’s counterattacks aimed at recapturing areas under Russian control. . Zalogheny had described the situation in the field as a “dead end” and on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the war with Russia, he warned that “Ukraine should prepare for another year with significant casualties.”

Commenting on the reports Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was further evidence that “the Kiev regime has a lot of problems and nothing is going right.”

Currently, according to informed sources, the process of removing Zalogeny as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is suspended and it is not clear how long this process will take. But Zalogeny, nicknamed the “Iron General,” is widely popular and his ouster could damage the morale of Ukrainian forces fighting to hold positions along a 1,000-kilometer frontline against a massive Russian force equipped with large stockpiles of ammunition, according to Reuters analysis. .
