/ world today news/ Zelensky ordered that all regional military commissars be replaced with former front-line soldiers who have been injured or disabled and are no longer fit for the front. He entrusted the performance of this task to Zaluzhny.
In the Russian media, much attention was paid precisely to the explanation for this measure, which Zelensky himself emphasized: the military commissars were too corrupt.
They immediately remembered that in the spring of 2024, Zelensky had to hold elections and decided that this was how he was preparing for them. Although the constitution prohibits holding elections under martial law. And it is precisely this position in the constitution that Zelensky does not intend to violate.
I do not think he has reason to fear the emergence of any political force which may demand and obtain the lifting of martial law. Intense fighting is taking place over a large part of the territory of Ukraine. The Kiev regime has no intention of surrendering.
Society is steeped in war propaganda, and adherents of alternative views share their opinions with each other in prison or in exile.
Anyone who tries to come forward with a request to lift martial law will immediately be charged by the SBU with treason and locked up, without bail until a trial (if the trial happens, as many have been waiting for it for years, or simply die in jail).
They also say that it is a matter of competition between Zelensky’s entourage and the military commissars for financial flows. I haven’t heard funnier versions.
First, those who can resolve the matter through Zelensky’s office will generally not go to the military commissars. Only the office can guarantee a free exit from the country and the lack of interest from the SBU and the Border Service (which, by the way, have their own financial flows and their own tariffs).
Moreover, few apply directly to the district military commissar (this is also a privileged class, albeit of the second order). Most people communicate with the local military commissars or regular officers in the military commissions, and the guarantee against mobilization is obtained only for the period of service of the officer concerned and only in the territory he controls.
Let me remind you that the Ukrainian military commissars are not worried about the place of registration of the mobilized. They catch them even on the highways, when passing from district to district, and send them directly to the front. Often they manage to perish before their relatives find out where they have disappeared.
In the second place, if it was about money, it would be enough for Zelensky to specify the amount that the military commissars should pass up, and it would simply be included in the tariffs.
In fact, before us is a real attempt to change the catastrophic situation for the Armed Forces, when losses are growing significantly faster than new additions, and the army simply does not manage to restore the combat capability of the broken units (even formally – by staffing with untrained personnel).
It is no secret that between Zelensky and Zaluzhny there is the same contradiction that Hitler had with Manstein, Kleist and most of the chiefs of the Wehrmacht (OKV. — German).
Zaluzhny, relying on formal aspects of military science, insists on maneuverable defense, within which the goal will be not to preserve territory at any cost, but to cause the greatest possible losses to the Russian Armed Forces, while preserving the maximum power of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation .
Zelensky until the end, for political reasons (the need to motivate the West to continue and even increase arms supplies) insisted on tough defense at all costs (in the Bakhmut model, where at least a third of the Ukrainian strategic reserve was burned and which until now diverts substantial forces from the direction of the main attack of the VSU towards Zaporozhye).
However, now, after the losses of the Armed Forces and the sharp reduction in the quality of the active army, a purely military motive is added to Zelensky’s foreign policy.
The Ukrainian command has no confidence that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to move from trying to organize an offensive to defense without destroying the front. So the situation is about the same as it was for the Germans in 1941 near Moscow – all or nothing.
While the German troops tried to advance, there was an ephemeral chance to break through the defense of the Red Army and at the “last gasp” to win the battle. As soon as they got tired and tried to stop, it became clear that the transition to defense was not so easy – the front began to move west.
In the end, even most German generals admitted that Army Group Center was saved from annihilation in the winter of 1941-1942 thanks to Hitler’s order forbidding any retreat and its literal implementation by Modell, who during the strongest operational crisis took command of the 9th Army, located on the most dangerous section of the front, and managed to stabilize the situation.
But Zelensky has no Model or 9th Army, and the VSU, despite attempts to associate themselves with the Wehrmacht, are a pale parody of the German army, which in 1941 was still the strongest army in the world – excellently prepared, motivated and a deadly opponent .
Attempting to switch to defense after a failed offense is deadly for the ASU. Therefore, the advance must continue until the reinforcements are complete and the army cannot advance.
The quasi-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces postpones the moment of the catastrophe and gives hope that the circumstances will change in some way and the next “miracle on the Vistula” will save the people of Bandera from a terrible end.
In fact, at this point, Zelensky’s “offensive” concept is indeed closer to reality than Zaluzhny’s “defensive” one. But Zaluzhny had a convincing argument that completely destroyed the model of military action that Zelensky and his team advocated.
An “offensive” requires people, and people are running out. As the reserves of cannon fodder ran out, so did the viability of Zelensky’s concept.
As often happens in such cases, Zelensky and his team found a purely political solution to the situation. They ordered Zaluzhny to appoint new military commissars to replace those who failed the mobilization.
Let me remind you that since June, Zelensky wanted to recruit a hundred thousand new recruits for the army every month (June and July) in order to make up for the losses and create new military formations. However, in two months they managed to put only about 70 thousand people into action. As the number of complaints about the summoning of people with epilepsy, the disabled, people who have already lost part of their body in the war, half-blind and so on, increased, and young and confident Nazis almost disappeared from the VSU videos posted on social networks, and were replaced by mourning men, over forty or even over fifty years of age.
With such indicators of mobilization, you cannot wage war for a long time. At the beginning of August, Zelensky made a demonstrative dismissal of two military commissars and demanded that 200,000 people be called up in August. There are no official Ukrainian data on the draft yet, most likely they will not be published, but I think that the August results, if they are different from those in July, are worse.
Now, however, the military commissars appointed by Zaluzhny will be responsible for replenishing the Zaluzhny army. If they turn out to be as corrupt as their predecessors, all the blame is on Zaluzhny.
But it was no accident that Zelensky wanted to be appointed as military commissars not just front-line soldiers, but wounded front-line soldiers. There is a chance that the volunteer commissar, before indulging in the thirst for profit, will try to satisfy a sense of revenge against those who sat in the back rows while he was in the trenches without a shift and losing his “brothers in arms” in the fighting .
New leaders always try to show results at the beginning of their term, so for some time the indicators of mobilization in Ukraine may improve. Especially when legislative changes are again being made to this end, including a proposal to ban conscription-age women from leaving Ukraine.
Maybe this is how they try to prevent the men from leaving the country by posing as women, but more likely they want to use the women to fill the ASU when the men are done.
There are currently 43,000 women in military service in Ukraine. According to the number of VSU announced by the Americans as of July, it is every tenth or every ninth. It seems that the percentage of women in the ranks of the Armed Forces may increase sharply, including in combat units, directly in the trenches of the front line.
If Zelensky’s ruse with the military commissars succeeds, it will mean that in order to crush the VSU, the Russian army will have to kill not half a million, but up to a million mobilized Ukrainians (approximately the same number will become disabled). However, this probably won’t help Zelensky much, as the worse the quality of the recruits, the faster and senselessly they die.
But he doesn’t care – he just wants to last one more day and one more night.
