The media learned about the upcoming reshuffle in Zelensky’s team due to the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky intends to fire at least one of the ministers, as well as a high-ranking general in charge of the counteroffensive, due to the failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. About it reported The Time magazine, citing a source close to the head of Ukraine.

According to the source, changes in the presidential team should be expected because Zelensky refuses to accept the fact that cold weather will hamper the advance of troops, blocking the front line, at least until spring.

“At least one minister will have to be fired, as well as the senior general in charge of the counter-offensive, so that someone is held accountable for Ukraine’s slow progress at the front,” the source said.

According to him, some commanders of front-line units began to refuse orders to attack, even if they came directly from the presidential administration: “They just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line.”

In the same journal text approvedthat Zelensky has lost optimism due to the cooling of Western interest in Ukraine. The Ukrainian president feels betrayed by his Western allies, who deprived him of the means to successfully continue the confrontation.

Ukraine announced the start of a counteroffensive in early June. The Russian side has repeatedly stated that the counter-offensive does not bring the expected results to Kyiv. September 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin named its “not a slippage, but a failure.” September 12 Russian President statedthat the counteroffensive does not bring results to Ukraine. On October 15 he reported, that, despite the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing new offensive operations in certain areas, in general the counteroffensive “failed completely.” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu appreciated losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the counter-offensive amounted to 90,000 people.
