Zelensky's Turbulent Week: Discord, Abandonment, and Disappointment

Rumors of discord between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi have been circulating, with reports suggesting that the two leaders are not getting along. Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi have not been seen together in public for almost two months, and they openly disagree on the state of the war. Zaluzhnyi's rising popularity and potential political ambitions have reportedly caused concern within Zelensky's office. However, dismissing the popular commander-in-chief could risk weakening national unity during a time of war. While tensions appear to be easing, the discord adds to the uncertainty of the coming year and the country's unity.
