President Volodymyr Zelensky is allegedly "bypassing" Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi in communication with some military commanders, complicating the latter's ability to fully command Ukraine's Armed Forces, Ukrainska Pravda reported on Dec. 4, citing anonymous sources.

The news comes amid speculation in Western and Ukrainian media about alleged disagreements between Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi, which have received a lot of public attention following Zaluzhnyi's sobering op-ed on the state of the war for The Economist.

Instead of directly communicating with Zaluzhnyi, the president maintains parallel communication lines with chiefs of some military branches, such as Ground Forces Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi or Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk, sources told the news outlet.

Zaluzhnyi allegedly receives some information from his subordinates only at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters meetings.

"There is an impression that Zelensky has divided the Armed Forces into two groups: the 'good' one commanded by Syrskyi and other favorites, and the 'bad' one subordinate to Zaluzhnyi," a person from Zaluzhnyi's inner circle told Ukrainska Pravda.

"This greatly demotivates the commander-in-chief and, most importantly, prevents him from commanding the entire military."

started the big offensive in June and now the blame game begins on who lost the war. NATO countries have been dumping their old equipment into Ukraine and some of it is from the 80's or even older.

Kiev initially demanded over 1,000 armored vehicles, which US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin deemed “near-impossible.” Eventually, they received 1,500. However, some vehicles were criticized as “unfit for combat,” with issues like missing tracks and inadequate maintenance blamed on Ukrainian troops.

The US secured a supply of 155mm artillery shells from South Korea, since it could not produce enough by itself. Requests for F-16 fighter jets were denied due to cost concerns and their vulnerability to Russian air defenses.

The US also trained and equipped nine Ukrainian brigades in NATO methods of warfare. Simulations based on Ukrainian and Western intelligence projected Ukrainian brigades reaching the Sea of Azov in 60-90 days with up to 30-40% casualties.

“The plan that they executed was entirely feasible with the force that they had, on the timeline that we planned out,” a senior US military official told the Post. “They got everything they were promised, on time,” a senior US official said.

The attack scheduled for mid-April finally “lurched into motion” in early June. Ukrainian troops immediately got bogged down in minefields and mauled by Russian artillery.

“Incinerated Western military hardware – American Bradleys, German Leopard tanks, mine-sweeping vehicles – littered the battlefield. The numbers of dead and wounded sapped morale,” the Post noted. After just four days, General Valery Zaluzhny “tossed aside” American doctrine and planning, switching to smaller-scale infantry assaults.

Good gawd being okay with up to 40% loss rate? Yeah cannon fodder aren’t worth anything but throwing their lives away. People entering the military should look at how their country treats their veterans after they have been used up and they are no longer useful. Start with America.

Russia learned from its earlier mistakes and has now become the experienced best army in the world and that was what Ukraine was sent against.

The NATO-armed 47th Brigade, so new that 70% of its members had no combat experience, was to lead the way.

Just think about how all the blood shed could have been avoided after 1 month into the war when a peace agreement was almost completed, but Biden sent Johnson to tell Zelensky to keep fighting.

Russia could probably have "defeated" Ukraine within weeks at the start of the war if it had unleashed its weaponry, but the purpose of the war has been to disarm the military and eliminate the nazis. The most complete way of denazifying and demilitarizing Ukraine is to let them continue to attack Russian lines, constantly being mowed down.

We seem to be getting towards the end of this. Russia expects to absorb large portions of Ukraine in the east and the south. I don't see them avoiding Odessa. That too will be part of Russia.

How will it play in Congress? Biden, not wanting to be tied to this loss would rather say that "Gee, if the Repubs hadn't cut off the money for Zelensky..."

So now we have a Democratic President who is not only arming a country attempting to commit genocide but also supporting an openly (in Ukraine) Nazi regime.

And still he is getting support from people who don't want the bag of shit under the R.
