New York Times article suggests that Ukraine lacks military strategy — Butusov
Any military strategic decisions in Ukraine are influenced by information and political realities.
This is how Yurii Butusov, the Editor-in-Chief of Censor.NET, commented on the New York Times article "Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine" on Radio NV.
"According to The New York Times article, the U.S. military leadership states that Ukraine lacks a military strategy. Strategic decisions keep changing and are often made under the influence of political or informational factors. The political decisions or media-driven influence of Supreme Commander-in-Chief Zelenskyy can override the plans of the military leadership at the last moment," Butusov said.
He added that the American generals quoted in the article pointed to the absence of a coherent strategy and a unified command center for managing the war.
"The article highlights things that are obvious to us — that Ukraine’s military command is plagued by constant contradictions and internal conflicts. In particular, it describes the ongoing power struggle between two command centers — Syrskyi and Zaluzhnyi. It also notes that President Zelenskyy regularly intervenes with his own vision of how the war should be conducted. According to the Americans, this undermines the ability to implement a unified strategy and a coherent vision," Butusov emphasized.
