 The conflict between Zelensky and Zeluznyi has split the Ukrainian army into two parts. President Volodymyr Zelensky is allegedly bypassing commander-in-chief Valery Zeluznyi in communication with some military commanders, complicating the latter's ability to fully command Ukraine's armed forces. Ukrenska Pravda reported, citing anonymous sources. The report comes amid speculation in Western and Ukrainian media about alleged disagreements between Zelensky and Zeluznyi. The alleged dispute came to the public eye following Zeluznyi's up-ed for the economist in which he offered a sobering view on the war. Instead of directly communicating with Zeluznyi, the president maintains parallel communication lines with chiefs of some military branches, such as ground forces commander Oleksandr Sirysky or Air Force commander Mikhail Oleschchuk. Sources told the news outlet. Zeluznyi allegedly receives information from his subordinates only at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's headquarters meetings. There is an impression that Zelensky has divided the armed forces into two groups. The good one commanded by Sirysky and other favourites and the bad one subordinate to Zeluznyi, a person from Zeluznyi's inner circle, told Ukrenska Pravda. This greatly demotivates the commander-in-chief and, most importantly, prevents him from commanding the entire military. Ukrenska Pravda's sources claim that Zelensky sometimes makes decisions in military matters guided by political reasons.
