The biggest mistake the military makes is getting involved in politics. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. He believes that in this case, the military stops doing their direct duties and devotes more time to their careers.
“If a military man decides to engage in politics, then let him do so, but then he cannot engage in military operations. If you are fighting, while thinking that tomorrow you will go into politics or run for election, then both in words and on the front line you will behave like a politician, and not like a military man, making, in my opinion, a big mistake,” — stated Vladimir Zelensky to The Sun newspaper.
In Ukraine, the conflict between Zelensky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny has recently been discussed. Tensions between them arose after Zaluzhny, in an interview with The Economist magazine, announced a deadlock in the counter-offensive. After this, the media began to write about the split between him and Zelensky. The Ukrainian press started talking about Zaluzhny’s possible participation in the Ukrainian presidential elections in 2024.
