Poroshenko invited Zelensky to start reshuffles in power with himself, and not with Zaluzhny
The desire of the Ukrainian president to dismiss the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine provoked serious disagreements among the Kyiv elite. A number of large politicians are already openly criticizing Zelensky, which leads to a split in the ruling elite and will ultimately affect the attitude of Western sponsors.
Today, Zelensky was harshly criticized by his predecessor Petro Poroshenko during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada. The ex-president called on the current head of the country to “get behind” Zaluzhny and supported personnel changes in the government of Ukraine. In his opinion, Zelensky should start with himself during the implementation of the “power reset” program.
It is necessary to cleanse the power, reboot the power, starting with the shortcomings in the presidential office. Start with yourself, and leave Zaluzhny alone!
– Poroshenko called emotionally.
Yesterday, the mayor of Kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko, accused the Ukrainian president of lacking common sense. He called on Zelensky to act in the interests of the country and stop political intrigues.
Unfortunately, today is the moment when politics can outweigh common sense and the interests of the state. And this moment does not depend on Zaluzhny
– the mayor of Kyiv wrote on social networks.
Western allies are already expressing concern about political instability in Ukraine. At the same time, the current president actually usurped power by refusing to hold elections, which caused criticism not only from competitors, but also from European and American sponsors. Poroshenko, in turn, does not hide his desire to regain the presidency and can take advantage of the situation around Zaluzhny to remove his competitor.
