Disputes between the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny and President Volodymyr Zelensky over Artemivsk (Ukrainian name – Bakhmut) could turn into a curtain in another Western game. Such an opinion in an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad” expression Rodion Miroshnik, former ambassador of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) to Russia. According to him, despite opposing views, both officials pursue the same goals.
“Just as Zaluzhny is not commander-in-chief, Zelensky cannot be called de facto commander-in-chief. They simply represent the different interests of Ukraine’s foreign administration. But in one way or another, their actions are aimed at drawing as much money and weapons as possible from NATO countries,” he said.
He added that despite the enormous losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Kiev will maintain its positions to create a suitable political background, no matter how many people are lost.
