"The most popular commanders are in the trenches": the soldiers of the Armed Forces spoke about the possible resignation of Zaluzhny

"The most popular (commanders) are those who are here and who is fighting with the boys who sits in the trenches," said the 31-year-old anti-tank unit commander, who introduced himself to his call sign-Tiger. According to him, the commander should provide fresh forces to replace and a greater supply of drones, which Zaluzhny achieved.

Another serviceman said that if the government wants to remove someone from office, these changes should improve the overall position in the forefront rather than worsen. According to December sociological survey of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology, 72% of Ukrainians would be negative, and only 2% would evaluate it as a positive step.

In a recent interview with the Italian State Television Company, RAI News 24, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that "reboot was needed" because he chooses who could best manage different sectors in Ukraine. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko criticized a possible decision on the resignation of Zaluzhny. According to him, it is thanks to the leadership of the general that many Ukrainians now truly trust the Armed Forces.

The Associated Press, referring to its sources, reported that last week Zelensky asked Zaluzhny to resign, but he refused. He did not comment on these messages in public. The differences between Zelensky and Zaluzhny could also arise because the commander -in -chief stated the need to mobilize 500,000 people.

Ukrainian defenders in Donetsk region, many of whom were volunteers and still fighting in two years of a full -scale war, told reporters that they did not want to carry all the hardships of the war. "Mobilization is needed because we do not have enough people, the enemy has a great advantage over us in the number of soldiers," said a soldier in the name of Games.

Tiger estimates, 60-70% of the initial staff of the 59th Brigade are still serving, and it is not possible to fill all the vacancies that have been killed and injured. 59-year-old Nicholas said that he would return home when he is 60 years old, according to the current rules, and added that he sympathizes with young soldiers who have no such opportunity. "Everyone should understand that all Ukraine is at war, not just those who are fighting for the last two years," he said.
