President Zelensky announces the firing of Ukraine's top general, the country's biggest military shake-up since Russia's full-scale invasion began

Somehow this doesn’t feel like winning......

Firing...as in out of a cannon?

Did he get permission to do this from his benefactor? Joe Biden?

Zelensky can’t have a general who undermines Zelensky’s goal of sending white Christian men to their death.

We will have a short wait to see if the military gets rid of Zelensky. The odds are, it will.

But who has the loyalty of the troops? Or does anybody?

Is there any plausible interpretation of this that it improves the war outcome prospects for them?

Perhaps Nuland's recent trip was to make assurances that any reaction from firing Zaluzhnyi would get assistance to get quelled.

Now the urgency of 60 billion now makes sense. People need to get paid off.

Ukraine changes military leadership - Kyiv

KYIV, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday the time had come to change the country’s military leadership in the war against Russia, replacing army chief General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi.

Defence Minister Rustem Umerov said separately that the decision had been taken to change the military leadership.

The statements follow days of speculation that Zelenskyi was considering dismissing his popular army chief, who is seen by many Ukrainians as a national hero for overseeing the war effort since February 2022.

Zelenskiy said in his statement he had met with Zaluzhnyi.

“We discussed what renewal the Armed Forces of Ukraine need. We also discussed who could be in the renewed leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The time for this renewal is now,” he said.

He had asked the general to remain “on his team,” he added.

In his own statement, Zaluzhnyi said he had had an “important and serious conversation” with Zelenskiy and that a decision had been made to change battlefield tactics and strategy.

“The tasks of 2022 are different from the tasks of 2024. Therefore, everyone must change and adapt to new realities as well. To win together too,” his statement said.

The two statements were published within moments of one another, suggesting that the two most prominent wartime figures in Ukraine had coordinated closely to put on a display of unity.

The military shakeup comes at a difficult time for Ukraine on the battlefield with troops facing acute ammunition shortages with vital military assistance held up in the United States.

It just means more Ukrainian dead before the RuZZZZians break out and roll west to Sevastopol. Zelensky is an amoral abuser of the Ukrainian people for the benefit of the American Empire (let's call it what it is).

The general wanted too big of a slice of the pie.

. Zelensky is an amoral abuser of the Ukrainian people for the benefit of the American Empire (let's call it what it is).

Years ago, I remember that NPR ran a segment suggesting that the U.S. should just consider declaring itself an Empire. The reason I remember it so many years later was that the segment was broadcast on September 10, 2001.

I thought already fired Zaluzhnyi, at least a couple of times and Zaluzhnyi refused to step down.

The Ukrainian government is the verge of collapse. It would be insane to spend another penny of taxpayer dollars on it.

If I was Zelensky I would be looking over my shoulder 24/7. He’s really vulnerable to the the military taking him out. I think they grow weary of him.
