But suddenly there is big news from Ukraine that changing sides is a taboo

Changing generals in the face of battle is a taboo among military personnel, but Zelensky seemed unable to hold back any longer. On September 3rd, he suddenly issued an order to fire Ukrainian Defense Minister Leznikov.

On the surface, the reason is that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense needs a "new approach". In Zelensky's words, Leznikov went through more than 550 days of full-scale war

The meaning is very clear. I've been playing for 550 days, you can leave now.

In theory, the past year and a half was the most difficult time for Ukraine. As the Minister of Defense, Leznikov did not contribute, but also had hard work. Why was he suddenly fired?

In my opinion, the most fundamental reasons are nothing more than two.

The first reason is that the Ukrainian army is not fighting well.

Previously, there was a grand counterattack, but in the end, it remained stagnant, which made Russia laugh and disappointed the West.

Even more infuriating, Zelensky's previously boastful promises were ultimately shattered one by one.

As the Minister of Defense, Leznikov is certainly to blame. How on earth did you fight this battle?

Even if it's a last-minute change, I can't afford to worry too much now.

The second reason is that the Ukrainian military is very corrupt.

Be tight ahead and tight behind.

You should know that the reason why Zelensky became president was because anti-corruption was his loudest slogan. Ukrainians who feel helpless about corruption have high hopes for him.

But the recent series of events have made Ukrainians even more disappointed.

For example, Deputy Chief of Staff Kirilo Tymoshenko actually requisitioned an evacuation vehicle for his own public travel expenses.

Also, according to Ukrainian media reports, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for winter uniforms with a company in Türkiye last year, but the price was at least twice the normal price.

Even worse is the conscription officials, who almost refuse bribes. So, wealthy people can freely escape military service, while those without money are caught as strong men on the streets. Western media generally do not report, but Ukrainians are furious.

How can such an army fight?

In the West, Leznikov is also hailed as a star; But in Ukraine, his reputation has long been tarnished, and now he can only leave in a state of despair.

Finally, what do you think?

Let's stick to the rough three points.

Firstly, the corruption in Ukraine is lamentable.

When is it all?

The edge of life and death in Ukraine should be even more so for civil officials who do not love wealth, and for military officials who are not afraid of death. But the fact is, many civil and military officials in Ukraine love money very much.

So, the soldiers in the front were fighting fiercely with blood, while the officials in the rear were filling their pockets recklessly.

How can the common people support such a military? How could we possibly win a battle?

Moreover, corruption now extends to Western aid. Under pressure, Zelensky has recently had to launch an anti-corruption campaign, with many Ukrainian high-ranking officials and even Zelensky's close friends imprisoned.

Forts are always the easiest to break through from within. Corruption has become a more terrifying threat to Ukraine than to the Russian military.

Secondly, Zelensky has a new plan.

But don't underestimate Zelensky, the new defense minister he appointed is Ukrainian Tatar Umorov.

Please pay attention to his identity.

In terms of ancestry, Umerov, who is 41 years old, is a Crimean. During World War II, the local Tatars were exiled by Stalin to Central Asia. Umerov was born in Uzbekistan and later returned to his hometown of Crimea with his family.

Crimea is still under Russian control. But Ukraine has been refusing to accept it and has recently launched more frequent attacks on the area.

At a critical moment, appointing a Crimean Tatar as Ukraine's Minister of Defense also demonstrates Zelensky's determination to win over Crimea.

Thirdly, the helpless scenes that make people laugh and cry.

Russia and Ukraine were originally brotherly countries. Both defense ministers have been under a lot of pressure recently.

Wagner rebelled and targeted Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, who was accused of corruption and incompetence. Corruption cases have occurred frequently in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, and Defense Minister Leznikov has become a target of public criticism.

But what's interesting is that Wagner's leader was completely destroyed, and Leznikov was fired. Shoigu is still firmly seated in Mount Taishan.

At least, Putin's satisfaction with Shoigu is much greater than Zelensky's satisfaction with Leznikov.

Of course, no matter who changes, we still have to play, and we urgently need a victory.

On the day Zelensky fired the Defense Minister, Russia and Ukraine continued to engage in fierce fighting on the front line. Russia launched fierce airstrikes on port facilities in the Odessa region; The Ukrainian army claimed that on Sunday, 126 Russian soldiers were killed and 6 Russian drones were shot down

These numbers cannot be verified anyway. Just like some corruption, it can never be eradicated.

This war, with no hope in sight, has become a greedy target for many people.
