Bloomberg: The leadership of Ukraine denies a split between the hearing and Zelensky

Disagreements between them began to talk after an interview with the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He said "the war has come to a dead end"

The office of the President of Ukraine does not see signs of a split between the military and political leadership of Ukraine after an interview with the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Military District of the Salary magazine The Economist about the situation at the front. This was written by Bloomberg, whose journalists talked with Ukrainian officials.

The assumptions about significant disagreements appeared after the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky publicly challenged the statements of Slutny. In particular, the newspaper The New York Times released an article on the signs of a “growing split”.

In an interview with The Economist, the commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, among other things, said that the war with Russia “came to a dead end”, and the Ukrainian offensive risks the positional war, which could drag on for years. In order to get out of this situation, in the opinion of Salla, Ukraine needs innovative military technologies.

In response to the deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Igor Zhovkva said that an interview with the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine caused “panic sentiments” among international partners. He expressed the opinion that what is happening at the front does not need to be commented, because it "facilitates the work of the aggressor." “If in this way [thanks to the article] we somehow achieve success-perhaps this is a very deep strategic plan. But for example, to be honest, [it seems] it is very strange, ”Zhovkva said.

Zelensky said that he did not consider the situation at the front of Patova. Ukraine, according to him, is trying to protect its military in a situation where Russia controls the sky due to its aviation.

The office of the President of Ukraine denies a split. The head of the department Andrei Ermak told the journalist of the Ukrainian television channel “1+1” Natalya Moseichuk that the country's authorities have a single position to defeat Russia. “I see no signs that there are some other positions in the military-political leadership today. We have a single position - to win in this war, ”said Ermak in an interview, the passage of which was published by Moseichuk.

“The president made an extremely important clarification,” said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Bloomberg. “I do not see any disagreements or conflicts at the level of the highest military-political leadership.” According to him, Zelensky and Sallah communicate almost every day, and in recent months there have been no changes in their conversations. In particular, the President and the Commander -in -Chief continue to discuss the adjustment of the Ukrainian military strategy.

Another person from Zelensky’s entourage, who talked with Bloomberg on anonymity, described the relationship of the president and commander -in -chief as something far from “loud headlines” in the media.

However, Bloomberg believes, pressure on the Ukrainian military is growing against the background of the lack of success at the front and errors that lead to mass death of soldiers. In the list of factors of this pressure, the agency also cites Zelensky, without explanation, without explaining the reasons to remove from the post of commander of special operations of Ukraine, Major General Viktor Khorenko. Later, the country's leadership explained that he was “needed in a certain direction” and will serve in military intelligence.

The disagreements that have arisen can make Zelensky a more vulnerable in political terms, writes Bloomberg. “The opposition seeks to use tension around the President’s hearing to undermine the positions of the president. One of the deputies close to the former President Petro Poroshenko said in Telegram that there was a draft decree on the dismissal of the commander. He later deleted this message, saying that his other sources have refuted this information, ”the agency notes.
