Certainly not this year. I look at this year as the time when at least one side, Russian side, will try to get as much as it can through military means.

It doesn't mean that every new year somehow is supposed to bring new tactics. The last year was pretty much a lot of fighting, a lot of suffering. Very little movement of the front line. The biggest change of the last year was Ukraine victory on the Black Sea, where they pushed the Russian Navy into the western part of the pond.

and restored the grain corridor and export from Odessa, apparently up to 75% of what it used to be before the war. So that's the only major change. But again, the price is enormous in terms of wealth, especially in terms of lives.

This is a very, very dangerous moment in the war. The reason for that is that Zelushny is someone who is very popular with the army. and with people in general. So if you look at that through American prism, that would be something analogous to President Truman firing General MacArthur, given that stakes for U.S. at that time were very high, but probably not as high as they are for Ukraine today.

In both cases, what is at stake is certainly the idea that the political leadership and military leadership have to be on the same page. And the question is whether, on the part of Zelensky, this is just the change of the leadership, or this is also the change of his approach to the war. And that can mean many things. One can mean him taking more active part in planning operations.

It can mean also possible change of the tactic in the war, given that counteroffensive didn't work out. We don't know yet. I don't know whether President Zelensky at this point knows exactly what will come next. But this is the time when the change of the leadership in the country and in the army that is at war, it's one of the most trying, most dangerous moments.

What we know is that in this war, Ukrainian people really united around their president. And the armed forces were always, even before the start of the war, more popular than was the presidential office. So the change, if happened in that realm, was not so dramatic. And from what I can see from social media in Ukraine, there is a lot of unhappiness, a lot of questions.
