Visible divisions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his military command are becoming increasingly public, following a clash over the state of the war with Russia.
Igor Zhovka, the deputy head of Zelensky's office, on Saturday condemned a reaction by Ukraine's military chief that the war with Russia is at a "stalemate".
He was responding to an interview with military chief Valery Zaluzhny, who told The Economist on Wednesday that " we have reached the level of technology that puts us at a standstill " and " most likely there will be no deep progress " in the war. .
The tensions come at a key moment in the war, with Kiev's slow-moving counterattack and violence flaring in the Middle East, prompting fears that Western financial and military aid could begin to trickle out.
Zelensky also disagreed with Zaluzhnyi's assessment during a press conference with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Saturday, but acknowledged that people are "tired" after 18 months of war in the country.
"People are tired. Everyone is tired. There are different opinions. Everyone is human, regardless of status… But it's not a dead end. I emphasize this once again. We have already talked about this. This is not some kind of news ," Zelensky said.
