The quarrel between Zelensky and Zaluzhny undermines the morale of Ukrainians – The Week

The division between the political and military leadership of Ukraine against the backdrop of a failed counteroffensive is contributing to ‘darker moods’ among Ukrainians.

This is reported by The Week, citing its own sources.

Several corruption scandals are also leading to a decline in the trust rating of Zelensky’s government, while within the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and among their families, a decline in morale is observed.

At the same time, increasing support from the West remains a priority for Zelensky, who fears ‘war fatigue.’ Only with the help of allies can he keep the military leadership and the public on his side. However, the longer the war continues without progress on the front, ‘the stronger the danger grows of losing national unity.’
