Today's Ukraine has become the number one object of concern in the world, and Zelenskiy's every move touches everyone's heart.
So what do you know about the commanders of these wartime orders?
Their words and deeds are related to the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and even have a great impact on the world pattern.
On the Russian side, you may be familiar with two military leaders, Defense Minister Shoigu, who was entrusted by Putin, and Gerasimov, the number two person.
And the characters who compete with them do not know whether everyone understands.
Next, let the editor lead everyone to familiarize yourself with the hope of today's Ukraine, which is also the life-saving straw of the current president Zelensky, Zaluzhny.
This man may be rarely heard of, he is really not famous, even ukrainians know very little about him.
In the Ukrainian military, he was a pivotal figure and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
However, such an unknown person has become the focus of attention of both sides on the battlefield in Ukraine today.
How did such an mediocre man become a Ukrainian military spokesman? Let's look at the path to the rise of Zaluzhny.
Zaluhne was born in 1973 and is 49 years old.
At that time, Ukraine still belonged to the Soviet Union, and the country's development was not bad.
When he was young, Zaluzhny had the ideal of joining the army and serving the country, but his parents preferred him to do a safer job.
As a child, Zaluzhny was a super bully, and at that time he won the top student seat in the school for many years.
At the age of 16, Zaluzhny graduated from a school in Kiev.
After that, he was admitted to the machine building school, when he studied hard and was talented, and here he was successfully promoted to engineer.
Although they did not directly join the army, military engineers could also serve the country.
At that time, being a military engineer was the pride of the country and a very high honor, so Zaluhnye studied very hard.
But with the drastic changes in the country, it also changed his life.
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine became independent.
For a nascent Ukraine, military strength is undoubtedly very important, which means its international status and national stability.
After the world pattern changed and society experienced a short period of turmoil, Zaluzhny saw the importance of the army in turbulent times, so he resolutely decided to join the army.
This step of his ideological transformation is both a personal value choice and a response to the chaotic times.
The change of identity has made Zaluhny study harder, and he feels that this is the only way to change his life and destiny.
Two years later he was successfully admitted to the Ukrainian Army General Academy, which was the starting point of his dream and began his glory.
Life in the academy is certainly boring and hard, but Zalu day as a bully, only feel like a fish, this is the life he wants.
Among the students, he was a leader-like figure, unanimously recognized by teachers and comrades-in-arms, and some instructors even shouted: "Zalu Day is a person who can become a general." ”
After further study at the academy, he was sent to the army four years later and began his military career.
Starting from the big head of the army, Zalu fought steadily step by step and promoted to a high position.
The platoon commander at the beginning, the company commander after a while, the battalion commander in the back...
Step by step, relying on quick thinking, he integrated all his learning and became the brigade commander of the 51st Ukrainian Brigade with his own efforts.
This force was the ace of the Ukrainian military, and being able to become the commander-in-chief was enough to see the approval of his superiors.
You must know that this period of study has laid a solid foundation for his later promotion, and his experience must be very rich from the bottom of the army to the position of brigade commander.
Eight years of military life tempered a brand new Zalu day.
Zaluzhny, who had little success in the army, was favored by his superiors and was assigned to the Ukrainian Defense Academy for further study.
This has also changed his future a lot, moving from a simple army to a political one.
In this way, it is even more important to enter the center of the country.
This college can only be entered by those who have been trained by the national focus.
Zaluzhny, who entered the academy, still relied on his solid basic skills and academic physique to quickly emerge.
His outstanding performance results have earned him the blue eyes of the military's top leaders.
In 2007, after graduation, Zaluzhne became the first deputy commander and his status was raised again.
After that, his rise slowed, but this did not hide his sharp edge, and Zaluzh had been accumulating strength at this time, and many leaders in both the military and the political arena knew him well.
Now he was only one chance away from reaching the top.
With the appointment of Ukraine's new president, Petro Poroshenko, he grew increasingly dissatisfied with the country's two eastern states.
The Luhansk and Donetsk regions have a strong pro-Russian attitude and are even more noisy about independence.
Poroshenko began to use his army to prepare for the problem and eliminate the local armed forces.
However, the army at that time did not expect it, and soon the news of the defeat came, and the two sides evolved into a protracted tug-of-war.
Seeing that the military had failed to win, an angry Poroshenko removed the deputy commander-in-chief of the troops.
Zaluz's chance came, and with some connections in mind, the president set his sights on him.
In 2019, he was appointed Commander of the Northern Theater.
Perhaps you can't deeply understand what he can learn in the army, so let the editor summarize some of his own views for everyone, so that everyone can understand more easily.
The military academy in the front has already allowed Zaluhny to learn a lot of military theory.
How to make a battle plan for soldiers, how to better command.
But it's all on paper.
It is still a long way to go to really become a general in the army.
Actual combat is the best way to test officers, and only by personally experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield can we absorb theoretical knowledge into our own experience.
This step is very important, otherwise it is Zhao Kuo in the history of the mainland, who single-handedly killed 100,000 soldiers in his own country.
Actual combat, tell you the cruel laws on the battlefield.
The winner can survive, and failure may not be death, but the result must be more difficult for you to accept than death.
So in order to survive, ruthlessness is the first lesson you have to learn.
Ruthlessness is not cruelty, mercy is for comrades-in-arms and the people you guard.
You must kill the enemy decisively, so that you can establish majesty in the army, even if your relatives make mistakes, punish him for discipline.
Remember, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and one of your decisions is related to the life and death of your comrades, who are the only presence you can trust on the battlefield.
Learning to be ruthless is not enough to lead an army, and what you have to learn below is reason.
On the battlefield, the direction of the war situation between the enemy and us depends on you to calmly analyze it.
For example, if two armies are at war, and your closest men have sacrificed a lot and finally defeated the enemy, you must restrain your desire to pursue, analyze whether they are really defeated or pretend to retreat, and lead you into the encirclement.
Sanity is just a basic skill you have to learn.
The next step is to test your criteria as a qualified commander.
Judgment is a must for a commander, and those warriors are following your orders.
Whether they survive or not depends on your decision.
Whether you continue to hunt or chase the poor Komo will depend on your judgment.
Although there are many military staff officers around you to give you advice, when a group of people disagree, you need to make up your mind.
And this is related to the lives of the soldiers you lead, and the higher your position, the more soldiers you command.
Imagine thousands of warriors looking at you alone, waiting for your orders, and they want you to take them to victory and more to live.
The higher your status, the more things you decide, and a small thing on the battlefield may evolve into a "butterfly effect" and become a key factor in determining victory or defeat.
The above is only a shallow idea of the editor, and there are many more uncertain factors on the real battlefield.
During this period, Zalu commanded large and small battles frequently with the enemy, thus summing up a lot of combat experience.
Laid a solid foundation for his position in the army and the national leadership.
In 2021, he was spotted by the new president, the comedian Zelenskiy, who made him commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces.
The reason why Zelenskiy valued him was, on the one hand, that Zaluhny had rich combat experience, and under the command of the battle over the years, the Ukrainian army had achieved many gratifying results, and it had a high status in the military and a great influence in the army.
Zaluzhn, on the other hand, did not serve in the Soviet army and fought bravely against the enemy.
In the battle with the armed forces in the Wudong region, Zaluhni led the troops to strike at the enemy very fiercely, this ability to dare to fight, coupled with his age of only 49 years old, is a rare "young zhuang faction", has a passion for the country, and his thinking is more inclined to Westernization.
This is very much in line with Zelenskiy's political views.
Zaluhnen, who became commander-in-chief, later said arrogantly to the public in media interviews: "I am going to drive Ukrainian tanks to Moscow's Red Square!" ”
It's arrogant to know that Red Square is a holy place in Russia's capital.
During World War II, when the German Nazis burned the war to the Soviet capital, Stalin spoke here to soldiers who were about to enter the battlefield, and every military parade in Russia was held here.
His remarks undoubtedly exposed his arrogant character and political stance.
As the battle in Ukraine began, the commander-in-chief faced a mighty enemy like a torrent of steel, and whether he still had the confidence to say this.
But through days of fighting, the supreme commander's resolute attitude has also given the Ukrainian president a glimmer of hope.
Presumably, without his pre-war command, the president would have lost the courage to speak in front of the public and the media.
