- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed his top military commander. General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi had been commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces. He is regarded by many as a national hero for overseeing Ukraine's war effort since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. He'll be replaced by the commander of Ukraine's ground forces - Oleksandr Syrskyi.

😨With Tucker Carlson Interview：
Putin said nothing new he just repeated what he's been saying for 2 years
The fact that most people in the West heard it for the first time is the worrying thing
80% of Americans don't even have a passport. They invented the bubble. Why are you surprised they know nothing?
True. The same dictator-babble from the playbook Mein Kampf...
He has been saying that for way longer than 2 years. If one thing we should have learned by now is that it doesn't matter what the russians are saying. Putin, Lavrov, Peskov, etc
The best part of this is the fact Sirski’s parents and brother still live near Moscow.
Not to sound paranoid but couldn't that pose a security threat?
When it comes to classafied documents?
All of the Russian political elite's kids live in the west, they don't seem concerned.
@@attilaabonyi8879 If you knew how corrupt Ukraine is, you wouldn't ask that.
He is not the only such guy. Former president Proroshenko kept his business in Russia. Zelensky himself keeps benefiting form movies being sold in Russia today.
It's a clown world.
@@attilaabonyi8879 Essentially half of Russia and even more of Ukraine has some part of family in both countries. They aren't called "brother nations" for nothing.
@@attilaabonyi8879No, there is no reason to doubt Syrski. And many millions of Ukrainians have family ties to russia. Still they wanted independence from kremlin, still they fight 2+ years.
There is a story that is told by one of the Bradley drivers, that are in Adivka. Where his father in blood(no relationship since birth) is a Tank driver on the russian side. He had messaged his son, trying to get him to deflect. But his son refused, he wanted to fight for Ukraine. And he would not hesitate if they meet
They meet on the battlefield recently, and his father tank shot at his son Bradley. After this the father called his son. And told him he knew it was him, so he drove his tank off to save his son. Some days later his father is killed in his tank, by a FPV drone. And his son is fine with it, as his father came to kill and conquer Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Based on Syrsky's track record, this doesn't bode well. Zaluzhny was willing to cede land when and where it made sense, which is sound military decision making, but politicaly unpalatable for Zelensky. Forcing the military to hold ground at all costs is the greatest and most expensive mistake Ukraine has made, and will obviously now continue to make.
We shall see what actually happens, and changes. New blood in command after so much time is normally a positive, and progressive change that is needed at times.
@@stillkickinbandgeorgianbay900 But he isn't new blood, he has been the Commander of ground forces, and led thedisastrousBakhmut's defence. also the fact that he is EthnicRussian born trained and raised inRussia, makes most of the ethnicUkranians distrust him. You want your troops to trust their commander.
@@MuantanamoMobile He is "new blood" for this position in the military. He also acquitted himself very well in the defence of Kiev, and was conspicuous in his service to Ukraine.
Being born, and raised in Russia was not his choice, and he is where he is from his choice in the matter.
Time will tell whether this is a good, and progressive appointment. I'm good with allowing this man to show what he is capable of, on his own.
Any pre-judging is premature, and illogical in this regard.
@@MuantanamoMobilehe was behind the biggest victories Ukraine had during the war - defence of Kyiv, and the successfil offensives of Kherson and Kharkiv. Bakhmut also had an OK result as it removed Wagner as a fighting force completely
I agree. 24 and 25: Ukraine won't have that much foreign aid: Trump or not: congress is skittish. The Europeans fear Trump US will pull out from Nato in 25, so they keep the stock they have. So it should be about defending efficiently, "trading" forces at a 1 to 5 ratio in Ukraine favour, even if that means loosing ground. Flatten out "cities" are of no use to Russia anyway, so no point holding with bad ratios. Ukraine has to hold and wait for the Europeans to step up, while Russia keeps wasting forces. That's the realistic strategy.
The counter-offensive didn't go as planned because Ukraine didn't get the right supplies in time, and because Russia had a long time to prepare its defenses. Russia also has volume on its side: their economy is on a war footing whilst the West is dithering with getting the right supplies and in the right amount to Ukraine. If the West is wondering why the Ukrainian progress isn't going well, they should look in the mirror.
WTF that logic is like you blame the world because they don't help you when you are the one you gotten in a mess… Ukraine decided when, where and how to launch the offensive, and if that 3 things were imposed by the west, it was ultimately Ukraine decision to followed it. So people need to stop blaming the west for the poor decisions that Ukraine are taking lately, at the end of the day there is not single western boot on the ground of ukraine (officially)
Ukraine has had $ 200 Billion in
equipment and aid already .Plus hundreds of thousands Ukrainians living on Welfare in West Europe.

@@MB-xe8bbYour random ranting point is? It's a superpower so America has to neglect its own country for another country just because. Or maybe because Russia is a power, they should stop wasting money on a lost cause again and let others lend more if they want.

It's likely the Russian Army will make gradual advances in 2024. Unfortunately we aren't being told the truth about what's going on in Ukraine, which means talk of Russian advances is mostly taboo.

@@martavdz4972 Agree with you. Just pointing out DW needs to listen more carefully to what people say.
@@martavdz4972 You know Ukraine and western reporting has been so credible I have no reason not to believe you..... Even Biden .... so much credibility. Then I watch Putin that had no credibility even though external information stated everything Putin said in interview was validated, however it must not be true because CNN said so, and also Putin doesn't name call, he is so unprofessional he needs to be more like Hillary Clinton or Biden or Blinken needs to attack the Person not the issues how can we believe a politician if he doesn't name call.. So lets dream together when do Ukraine take Mariupol ohhh I heard from your friend that the whole Russian fleet is destroyed ready for the new counter offensive then the big push to Moscow...

there is no stalemate, Russia is taking additional parts of the land, it is very slow, but progress exists - Bahmut, Marnika, Avdivka... sure, it does not change the picture, but when Ukrien retained Rabotnoe , a village with 5 houses, that was a strategic success...
Funny because Marinka Avidiivka and Bakhmut are all just houses at this pooint because russia blew it

@@Exceedtherealmyeah and Russias war is a 3 day special military operation
One weary military expert narrative from England. DW News can do better when selecting military “experts”.
True this guy even speak the language there
This is HUGE important to report, good go at it!
I think Zaluhzny should be put in command of the drone corps. The new general could be good for Ukraine. But, I warn don’t use old tactics that Russia uses. Keep the tactics small in squads, armor for infantry, and surprise. If you go to full battles of trying to overrun the enemy of one on one of the enemy,at full blast, you will lose. Protect your soldiers. The tact used now is working. You’re winning but at a slow pace. Don’t worry our people are going to send the package that you need, soon. The public is putting pressure on the politicians.
How does one become this detached from reality?
"Steiner will save us!"
Syrskyi takes over ground forces, maybe Zalushniy uses the time to generate NATO combined arms proficiency with F-16s, EW, missile offense, missile defense and coordinates with Syrskyi's soviet infantry tactics to both hold the line and eventually collapse Russian lines.
nothing we have seen suggests Ukraine..or Russia for that matter can effectively penetrate Modern air defense systems in depth...stop thinking this is anything like the Wests demolition of weak poor nations with little to no answer to western air power...
The west can't supply sufficient air power to crack this nut...
This can divide the house
Socalled counter off went not as per plan also because he had half the ammo he asked for. If anything they should have waited.
Zaluszny was the last to keep up Morale for the Ukranians, its all going down hill from here..
Probably it will be just - business as usual. As some say: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Guest failed to mention West's failure to provide weapons to make counter offensive successful. Ukraine is doing the best that they can.
Nope. The Pentagon had a plan to split the Donbas into three parts; UA high command opted not to go with it because of what was anticipated to be a lower casualty rate.
What's happening in the last 3 month is just a nightmare for Ukraine. Diminishing support, chaos in the leadership, Russian advances, .... It's literally the beginning of the end for Ukraine.
Is it? I don't think so. But if they don't get the support they need to WIN, rather than just hold the line, guess who and where the Russians will turn their attention to next? Better to pay a lot now for victory than All you have later for what might barely pass as one.
Was it Nuland who came with the idea?
Syriskiy is not liked by the soldiers. He believes in human wave warfare system. Ukrainians held him accountable for losing Soledar and Bahkmut and pershing of many thousands of best trained soldiers in Bakhmut. Now he is overall commander, not a lot of soldiers going to fight for him.
He is probably a inside man..lol😂
he is same like Zelensky, hold the city at any costs...in Bakhmut 100k UA soldiers died against, 40-50k wagners ? correct me if Im wrong, not sure. Under Syrskyi we gonna see real ''meat waves'' Still its good decision, Ukraine gonna lose quicker and we save our tax payers money in Europe and US

Looking for a change and improvement in the US's Civil War effort, President Lincoln fired the very popular General McClellan, and was widely criticized for it, but it later proved a good move.
I see no sign in personality or words that Zelensky is jelous of his power and inclined to sidetrack a future rival.
Most important in Ukraine is United whether you are general or ordinary soldier.
Rubbish. Soldiers are sent to die. Officers dont join them, they sitin shelters. Blue blood.
It’s not united at all
Yes, I think it was a mistake to remove a key person in this conflict, now is when more people and organizations needs more support than blocking in Avance in progress
Stalemate as in Bakhmut
Sometimes you just have to take a step back in order to get a better view of the entire battlefield
Curtain call
Seems disingenuous to use the word 'fired' or 'sacked' when zaluzhny will undoubtedly remain in the military, just a different role
Yeah but he literally didn't want to step down on his own. You could say he was demoted, but if this was a company he would have quit already, and he might just do that after all
He will, and in one of the top positions
Its the rotten media that is using those words. Zelensky's was tactful in his speech today he said, I decided to renew the leadership of the armed forces. He went on to say it is not about surnames or even more so not about politics, he went on to explain what its about. From what he said it looks to me like they are creating a better structure, command structure to go forward with. That suggests to me that the current structure was ok but not quite up to the job, the general should bow out gracefully and live to fight another day. He is popular with the people and Zelensky will be replaced one day so why not take this opportunity to aim for presidency some time in the future.
He's gona be great cannon fodder for selensky regime... probably zaluzny is the only real ukranian here... he defended ukraine agai st the worst by going against selensky orders to not defend the country... but people don't k ow this...😂
What is stalemate?!!
Its when Bakhmut 2.0 happens in Adiivka.

Isn't that about all western "Analyst" do?

A forest is too small to hide a mountain, but to hide a forest, make the mountain long.
Where is this from? The Art of War or something?
What is she and many others saying "changing leadership in the middle of the war", who knows if it is the middle. Change is needed to indicate to the overall effort it is time to move to a higher level of attack. From Allies to Logistics, to the Arm Forces in General. Change for the positive will not be wrong in the end, this is a common practice in any business model to encourage improved benifits. Glory to Ukraine and their Heroes.
There's a big reason for the dismissal of the army chief.

Ain't this guy responisble for the Ukrainian side of the meat grinder in Bakhmut
Sad
A Lot of hard truths spoken, the media's mental gymnastics about to hit overdrive.
Horse don't get changed while passing the river. It's a very risky move.
Quite the opposite, it´s not uncommon to change the chief military command during a long war. And this isn´t a huge change, basically the guy in the topmost position and the guy in one of the leading positions change places.
ikr.,.
@@martavdz4972 Yes, it's not uncommon(nobody said that it's uncommon) but it is not wise in general sense. Most of the great leaders such as Alexander the great or Fatih the second (conquerer) kept their top generals during the War despite their oppositions .
Problem with all Russian citizens : clinging to the templates (here - sayings) of the past
A) his troops hate him
B) he uses human wave tactics that lead to huge amounts of casualties for the Ukrainians
Many in Ukraine think Syrskyi is a Russian spy
Garbage out garbage in, it's a landfill over there.

It´s not jealousy, there are heaps of reasons. Their approaches differed too much, Zaluzhny published an article without consulting it with Zelensky (who is, after all, officially his boss), Zelensky opposes Zaluzhny´s proposed mobilisation (which is a mistake IMHO, there should be some mobilisation), and other reasons.

Again the defense of Kiev was not very special because that was mostly Russian troops retreating versus actually losing same with the area where he led the offensive we already know Russia was pulling out thousands of troops. So I don't know how much of a defense or offensive you can call it when the enemy was already in full retreat....

Just like the Russians planned to take Kiev in 3 days
Does the reshuffle include new president?
Dismissed General Zaluzhny was the Chief of the Armed Force's of Ukraine while Colonel General Olexander Syrskyi was the Commander of Ground Force's. F😮ailure of Counter Offensive Operations lies with Syrskyi not Zaluzhny. Therefore, sacking of General Zaluzhny is unjustified since it would not enhance the capability of AFU rather it would lead to further defeat in the hands of the Russian Army.
Zaluzhny was Syrskyi boss and Zaluzhny was the top commander responsible for planning and carrying out the Spring Offensive. He was on all the front pages at the time and making statements, not Syrskyi.
Zaluzhny gets all the credit for the positive but takes no responsibility for the failings

Sirsky is the conrad von hotzendorf of the modern world. Only reason he got the job is because hes politically reliable and budanov had never commanded in the field.
Ultimately question is can Ukraine take all of Donbass and Crimea under Zelensky leadership. So far it has not and no one appears in position to do so. Under circumstances and recognizing history, local preferances and fickle U.S. support, better to seek peace solution. Otherwise Ukraine will be unstable and vulnerable to further destruction and politcal upheaval by foriegners.
Dude ran out of men too , sending aid would be useless now
The problem with the peaceful solution is that it won't last with considering Russia's history of breaking treaties and how no one will be content with the current situation to make peace.
The comedian in cargo pants feared Zaluzny political wise. Zaluzny will run against him whenever elections take place😂
Zelensky is not going to run again, as promised, but his term is going to be 20 years :D
His name was Aleksandar what a people....
Part of the problem is that he kept butting heads with the president and kept giving defeatist statements which in a time of war are completely inappropriate. Keeping morale is more important that defeatist public statements. As for Bakhmut the sheer symbolic importance far outweighs any strategic importance. Just like the Alamo holds significant symbolic importance to the United States. They would do the same if the tables were turned. Syrskyi is a great leader and I hope he puts in fresh ideas and tactics that help.
Lying to your people about their prospects leaves you in a terrible situation in the end especially when it fails. Hope you folks are ready to never live this down...
Nothing will happen
I’m sorry who cares what a bunch of grandmas think on the street about Generals switching?
