Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned his military leadership against dabbling in the country’s politics, taking a jab at his top commander after tension between the two came to light.
In comments to The Sun newspaper, Zelenskiy referred mainly to military officers who entered politics in the years after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. But he explicitly singled out the current command, including Ukraine’s popular army chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi.
“With all the respect to General Zaluzhnyi and to all the commanders who are on the battlefield, there is an absolute understanding of the hierarchy and that is it — and there can’t be two, three, four, five,” he said in an interview published Tuesday.

Uh oh something’s cracking
AFAIK Zelensky himself has set an example by not meddling in militarys priorities, so people should probably listen to him.
First russian propaganda was trying to use all paid media to force Ukraine to negotiate, and now they are trying to paint the coup in Ukraine.
