The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
After nearly two years of conflict, it is normal for a level of fatigue to set in. However, if Ukraine is to win, the nation must remain united and must stay determined to defeat Russia. As such, if any changes are made by Zelenskyy, it will simply be to reinvigorate the leadership and to give a greater chance to victory.
Establishment-critical narrative
If Zelenskyy ultimately fires Zaluzhnyi, it would spell very bad news for Ukraine. Not only would it confirm that there are major rifts in the country's leadership, but replacing one of the nation's most trusted and experienced leaders by someone less qualified is likely to lower morale for soldiers out in the battlefield.
