In Ukraine, there has been a split between President Volodymyr Zelensky and the mayors of major cities. This was written by the American edition of The Washington Post.
For example, mayors in some cities believe that Zelensky and his administration are pushing the regions into the background in order to maintain control over billions of dollars of international aid and weaken political opponents. In addition, regional politicians resent the creation of military administrations whose powers far exceed those of civilian authorities. The material also says that the mayors are worried that “Zelensky’s office will abandon promises and plans to decentralize power.”
Earlier it was said that there was a disagreement in the ranks of the SBU due to the fact that the Russian military liberated part of the territories of Ukraine. It was noted that the old cadres are losing trust and positions in the power bloc.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation on the territory of Ukraine on February 24. According to him, the priority of the Russian army is the exclusion of unnecessary casualties among the civilian population, the defeat of military infrastructure facilities, equipment and weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and national battalions with high-precision means.
