Redditors doing mental gymnastics about Zaluzhnyy

Made me wonder if there are different norms in Ukraine. They said he “offered” for Zaluzhny to resign, rather than “asked for” his resignation. The former would maybe be to make sure he knows that he's not obligated to be there if he's had enough, to make sure you've got someone who wants to be doing the job. The latter would be more like “I can either fire you, or you can spare yourself the embarrasment and quit.” But maybe it's more of the latter and just sounds like the former, with Zaluzhny maybe calling Zelensky's bluff? Or they could be putting on an act of internal strife, hoping Russia will underestimate them.

Zelenskyy basically said he don't plan to fire Zaluzhnyy solo and that he prepares a list

Zelenskyi asked for resignation to avoid criticism, he as a president have every right to remove Zaluzhnyi from his position, but currently in Ukraine Zaluzhnyi have much higher trust and popularity amongst population, it is one of the reason he is being dismissed for and also the reason why Zelensky don't want to just openly dismiss him.

From the reports Zaluzhnyi refused to leave by himself, it seems when asked he was offered just some diplomatic position in 'exchange'.

Not fully brain dead Redditor oxymoron

Ukraine had some of the worst post-1991 outcomes and was ravaged by oligarchs. And as a result, people of Ukraine have been pushed around by a bunch of thug leadership since then, being milked for whatever lazy profit can be made off of the backs of their people and on their land. And emphasis on lazy profit, because a huge part of this conflict lies in the untapped potential for Ukraine. In the last 30 years there's been no development, no major economic growth, etc because the corruption won't even let a little bit of money get through so that Ukraine can, for example, start drilling for their own oil.

Maybe controversial, but in 5 years down the road, or probably more like 10 years, you'll probably see stories about how ridiculous percentages of the military and humanitarian aid was stolen. It's all from shit like buying lower quality items and pocketing the money. It doesn't get revealed for years after because it sometimes does become hard to track or hard to prove. But it does impact the bottom line of surviving a war.

It's sad to me that even during this war the oligarchs have no shame. Russia's own corruption was catching up to them with some of their equipment failures during the invasion of Kiev, so having seen that, you'd think they'd recognize why even Russia suddenly stopped cutting corners on military financing. But I guess Ukrainian oligarchs really have no attachment to any of it since they're opportunists.

Noooo Redditor stop
