Looks like Zaluzhny has been rubbing shoulders with conservatives in the UK, convincing them that he should be the next president of Ukraine. I guess Zelenskyy thought Zaluzhny would bear his exile quietly, but he's been campaigning behind the scenes and some Western newspapers have called him a likely challenger to Zelenskyy. In Ukraine, Zaluzhny is supported by Klitschko and the neo-Nazis.
Zelenskyy's former and current cabinet/staff has seen the writing on the wall and is slowly jumping ship. Zelenskyy is hoping the West will give him a way out of Ukraine. Zelenskyy will be talking about victory and taking back Crimea as he climbs his plane's steps holding a big bag of cash.
Basically, everyone knows the war is over except Western liberals and Ukrainian diaspora.
They're backed by Turkey, so they won't attack a NATO country. They will however attack the Kurds in AANES. I don't think SDF will want to make the same deal about autonomy under the same constitution that they wanted to make with Assad.
I respect the Kurds' right to self-determination. If Assad is truly gone and so is his government, then I hope SDF/Rojava declare independence and seek international recognition.
It would be very disappointing to see the users of this website cheer for ISIS-lite when they begin fighting """"""""""US-backed"""""""""" AANES.
