Russia's Strategy Behind Massive Ukraine Strikes

What was said

"Syski is going off message. He's saying that, you know, firstly he said there's no actual immediate threat from Belarus, completely contradicting what Zelensky said because Zelensky was at one time talking about Belarus conducting, joining the war, conducting attacks on Kiev. Syski says that isn't true. He then says that the repeaters in Belarus, contradicting Zelensky completely, is still functioning."

Ukrainian military commander Syski publicly contradicted President Zelensky on multiple fronts, denying Belarus poses an immediate threat and stating surveillance equipment remains operational contrary to Zelensky's claims. Alexander suggests this public disagreement stems from reports that Zelensky plans to replace Syski with intelligence chief Budanov, ending Syski's previous loyalty.
