What is the biggest problem with Zelenskyy \u201ccounting on two to three years of war\u201d in his head \u2014 and even sharing these thoughts with his allies? In my view, there are several. Together, they paint a rather grim picture. On the operational front, nothing has changed for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u201cOne word for the kitchens, another for the streets.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top brass is not going to speak frankly with Ukrainians. Bad news may be reported by others \u2014 anyone but the President or Prime Minister. Meanwhile, our stability depends heavily on a shared sense of unity, which rests on the principle that \u201cwe are not cattle, we are not goats.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The stark contrast between public statements and private conversations severely undermines trust. We are already seeing this in the problems with mobilization, the spread of depressive moods, and the flourishing of Russian IPSOs.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is time to stop preoccupying ourselves with \u201cshashlyks\u201d (BBQ) and start recognizing Ukrainians as full citizens of the republic?<\/p>\n

Our survival is a shared responsibility. And if the operational leadership thinks they have a golden (or crypto) parachute, history offers many examples of how such hopes have proven futile.<\/p>\n\t\t
