It’s important to understand that the analytical article published by @CinC_AFU is his second annual review of the war effort and plans for the next year. In 2022 he published a similar piece analyzing the situation and signalling the needs of the Ukrainian army to our partners. His 2023 analysis is not about the stalemate, but how to avoid it. His main message is about staying ahead of the game and how to get there. He is very clear about what is needed to defeat Russia in terms of military art. Zaluzhnyi is basically saying: hey guys, we know what we are doing, and we would appreciate your help to implement our strategy. There is no contradiction there between Zaluzhnyi and Zelenskyi - both of them would like to see a more resolute commitment of the Western governments to helping Ukraine win the war. After all, the delays with Western military support helped Russia get better prepared for Ukraine's offensive, and we most certainly don't want that to continue. It puts the West to shame that North Korea is capable of providing Russia with more weapons than the global trade power - the EU. So, both Zaluzhnyi and Zelenskyi are trying to send the same message to the Western governments - wake up to what is at stake in Ukraine - it is the future of every citizen of your countries as well. Stop pretending that the West can somehow self-isolate itself from the new reality crafted by the anti-western forces, if their plans are not curtailed. No American, or European who wants to live a free and safe world will benefit from the new global order crafted by the evil regimes.
