MP from "Servants of the People", a member of the National Security, Defense and Intelligence Committee Mariana Bezugla, published a critical post about the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyy. According to her, he did not provide a plan for 2024, so the military leadership of Ukraine should leave. The Russian mass media are actively distributing her post.
Bezugla "hints" that Zaluzhnyy should leave
In her post on Facebook, the People's Deputy wrote that Zaluzhnyi failed to provide a plan for 2024.
The military was simply told that they should take at least 20,000 citizens a month.
According to her, this problem was growing even in the summer, both during the meetings of the HQ of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and in the Parliament when planning the budget for 2024.
We asked what to plan for? How do you see war? Why create a brigade, and not supplement the existing ones? How much will the brigade, the new brigade, cost? These are still new headquarters, what about combat units? Should we lay down funds for rotation and demobilization? What about learning? What about rotations? Why is the purchase of turnstiles not planned at all in 2024, for example? Do you understand that one dead person costs the state 15 million hryvnias, and a turnstile of the SAT type costs 10,000 times less? Apart from the tragedy of death as such.
She added that this discussion was allegedly not public, but "tensions were building, and now the situation is such that if the military leadership cannot provide any plan for 2024, and all their proposals for mobilization are reduced to the fact that more people are needed without any proposal from changes in the Armed Forces system, then such leadership must leave."
Reaction of Ukrainians to Bezugla's post
Users in the comments to the post were divided: some supported the deputy, while others accused her of incompetence, discrediting the Armed Forces and working for enemy propaganda:
Russkies have already picked up on this nonsense. Thanks!
War should be led by the military, not by politicians. All these questions are manipulative. Unpleasant to read.
It seems that it is not clear that the plan is the same and that a significant human resource is lacking for its implementation. As can be seen from your words, he said this... Thanks to our Commander-in-Chief's talent and faithful tactics, the Ukrainian army withstands the onslaught of the enemy and, in some areas, even defeats him. Only supporters of Russia may want to change the current Commander-in-Chief.
You earn the Kremlin's three rubles for discrediting the military leadership.
Mariana, if we follow all your latest publications, we get a clear impression that you are looking for a minor message to humiliate (or compromise) the Commander-in-Chief in one way or another!
Russian mass media spread Bezugla's post
News under the titles "Kyiv sends Zaluzhnyy to resign" and "Zaluzhnyy was given a black mark: In Ukraine, they demand the resignation of the AFU Commander-in-Chief", and the like have already appeared on Russian propaganda resources.
Propagandists claim that "the passions surrounding the resignation of the AFU Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyy are probably coming to an end," adding that this is related to the situation around Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.
Russian Telegram channels spread Bezugla's post with the words, "It seems that the warm-up of the audience before the resignation of Zaluzhnyy has officially begun."
