According to a report by Russian media EADaily on November 11, many analysts believe that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's political life is entering its final countdown. Whether the war ends or not, a change of power in Ukraine seems almost inevitable.

The report said that the attitude of the United States and Europe is clearly cooling down, with U.S. military aid shifting to commercial sales, and Zelenskyy's international prestige rapidly fading.

Especially after the Mndytsky case, it is believed that the West has begun to push for a change of leadership in Ukraine in a substantive way.

Zelenskyy

Mndytsky was a long-time business partner of Zelenskyy, known as his financial backer. In Ukraine, he was almost considered a sacred area immune from investigation. However, recently, the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) conducted a surprise raid on Mndytsky's assets and companies, shocking the Kyiv political arena.

NABU is not an institution that Zelenskyy can control; it is essentially an extension of the Western intelligence system.

The occurrence of the raid means that the West has already sent a signal to abandon Zelenskyy. Mndytsky left the country just hours before the raid, suspected to be a tip-off from Zelenskyy.

The West reacted coldly but allowed the situation to escalate.

Meanwhile, the camp of former Ukrainian President Poroshenko seized the opportunity to propose in parliament to remove the government.

Additionally, the special envoy of Trump on Ukraine issues, Kellogg, has stopped contacting Kyiv, while the U.S. ambassador to NATO, Whitaker, secretly arrived in Kyiv, yet was not reported by any mainstream Ukrainian media.

There are also reports that Western delegations frequently appear within the Ukrainian army, but they only choose to visit units loyal to Poroshenko.

These signs speak for themselves.

Zaluzhnyi

As for who will take over, Zaluzhnyi, the former chief of staff of the Ukrainian army, is the most mentioned. He is seen as a representative of the war faction.

However, he lacks public support in politics and does not have his own party.

Russian media analysis suggests that Britain hopes Zaluzhnyi will replace Zelenskyy, so they appointed him as the ambassador to the UK, but the Trump administration is not enthusiastic about choosing Zaluzhnyi because he is also a war hawk, and the U.S. now wants someone who can end the war.

Therefore, one can see that the New York Post published an article signed by Zaluzhnyi, which contains many errors, and is suspected to be fake.

The main point of the article is to refuse to pretend to be a surrender under the guise of peace, and its core is actually to continue the war — this clearly contradicts the U.S. political atmosphere.

The article quickly disappeared from American media websites and was then amplified by the Trump camp, used to criticize Zaluzhnyi for not understanding peace, paving the way for the next step to introduce a more moderate replacement.

This means that Trump still wants to continue his "peace show," and he needs a Ukrainian president who obeys him in order to sign a ceasefire agreement. Therefore, Russian media believes that Zaluzhnyi may be directly eliminated.

Destroyed Ukraine

Aside from the differences between the U.S. and the UK, the EU also has its own ideas, since the previous Russia-Ukraine conflict was halted by Germany and France, they certainly hope that this time they will also be able to lead the situation, especially in the post-Russia-Ukraine conflict era. If a U.S. puppet comes to power, Europe would face an entirely uncontrollable Ukraine, which is why Germany and France also have reservations about Zaluzhnyi.

For the Ukrainian people, no matter who replaces the current leader, it will be a tragedy, because they are destined to be agents, just serving different main masters.

Ordinary Ukrainian citizens have no say in this situation; they can only survive in the darkness, conscription, and inflation.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that no matter who sits in the presidential chair, they cannot change the fate of the country, because what changes are only the actors, not the script.
