The Ukrainian government is in shambles after top officials have been replaced. The media is reporting that President Zelensky is firing them but many say that they are resigning.
According to RT, “Zelensky’s deputy head of office, Rostislav Shurma, was fired on Tuesday, according to a decree posted on the office’s website. No reason was given for his dismissal.” Meanwhile several have handed in resignation letters including “Vice Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishina, Minister for Strategic Industries Aleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Justice Denis Maliuski, and Minister of Environmental Protection Ruslan Strilets.”
Why are they doing this? Could it be because of the heavy losses in the Kursk offensive, a place where the war was never supposed to be in the first place? Anyone can see that Ukraine has downplayed its death toll in order to keep Western nations from supporting its war. President Trump admitted this on a podcast this week.
“They lie about the numbers,” he said. “They try and keep [the numbers] low. They knock down a building that’s two blocks long, and they say one person was mildly injured. No, no, a lot of people were killed… millions of people,” Trump said.
Even FT, which has supported the war in Ukraine with blind faith, says that this move could “consolidate power” but Zelensky says that it will “give new strength” to Ukraine’s institution. He’s full of it and people are dying as a result.
