Politico: Zelensky and his eourage have seized power in Ukraine
The preside of Ukraine has put a circle of trusted people at the helm and rejects the opinions of anyone who criticizes his policies, which he justifies as a war situation, but critics believe that the manageme of war should not involve sacrifices. lead to democratic processes.
According to Isna, the American media in an article referring to the changes in the cabinet of Ukraine, reported that the preside of this coury, Volodymyr Zelensky, is trying to seize power.
According to Politico, the Ukrainian and iernational media have described the rece changes in the Ukrainian governme as the biggest changes since the beginning of this war, but in reality not much has changed and these changes are for show.
“No fresh faces from academia, civil society or Ukrainian industry have joined the governme, which has long been requested of the governme,” senior Ukrainian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Politico about rece changes in the Ukrainian governme.
According to the report, the only high-ranking official to be dismissed in Zelensky’s cabinet reshuffle was Foreign Minister Dmytro Kulba – who, according to Ukrainian sources, was dismissed due to a disagreeme with Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff. “Vladimir Kudrytskyi”, the head of Ukraine’s national electricity transmission network, known as “Oker Energo”, which had nothing to do with the cabinet changes, was heavily criticized.
According to Politico, Zelensky’s main goal of attacking Kursk in Russian territory was actually to gain a political achieveme and reduce the pressures that have been raised against him and his governme.
Mykola Kniajitsky, a Ukrainian lawmaker and critic of Zelenskiy, says: “The attack on Kursk had purely political goals, not real political goals. “We have many problems that are being neglected, including the lack of any serious strategy and assistance for the more than three million displaced Ukrainians.”
According to the American media, the rece changes in Zelensky’s cabinet do not resolve the major concerns raised about his authoritarian rule. He depends on a small circle of trusted advisers and friends, power-hungry figures whose footpris can be seen in past investigative files.

Zelensky’s attempt to seize power
“Kulba’s separation is yet another example of how Zelensky’s cronies drive out those who question and challenge,” the report said.
Politico compared Kulba’s departure from the governme to the removal of Valery Zalogeny, the former commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a figure who had disagreed with Zelensky over the war strategy and the need for stronger conscription, and whose high popularity among Ukrainian citizens also aroused Zelensky’s jealousy. was
Kolba and Zalogheny were supported by Western officials and analysts after their removal, and the removal of Kudrytskyi, head of Ukraine’s National Electricity Transmission Network, also drew unprecedeed public criticism from Ukraine’s Western supporters. Represeatives of the European Union and financial organizations warned Kyiv not to undermine OKR Energo’s independence from the governme in a letter to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmihal. In this letter, they warned that if the independe nature of this organization is not maiained, European couries will have difficulty in supporting the energy sector in Ukraine.
Kudritsky says that even before the start of the war, the Ukrainian governme was thinking of dominating the power distribution ceer.

War manageme and democratic leadership are not coradictory
More than half of Ukrainians believe that Zelenskyi’s office has too much influence in governme and law enforceme agencies, courts, ai-corruption institutions, as well as the coury’s parliame. Although Zelensky’s defenders say there is no opportunity for democratic processes during wartime, his critics poi to leaders like Winston Churchill, who ran his coury during wartime with a group of powerful ministers with differe party affiliations.
According to Politico, despite a lot of foreign support for Zelensky, the domestic popularity of this Ukrainian preside is steadily decreasing, and Ukrainians have always been skeptical of him.
According to this report, governance has complications and Zelensky has shown impatience with these complications in a populist manner. The war in Ukraine could not convince him to accept the suggestions and advice of people other than his close circle with an open mind.
Politico writes that many believe that Zelensky has a meality born from the Soviet era and that his attempt to seize power will end up at the expense of Ukraine. Zelensky’s critics believe that most of Ukraine’s achievemes in the war with Russia are not the result of Zelensky’s policies, but the result of the resistance of the Ukrainian people and civil society.
