The international situation is changing, and accidents are endless, especially after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia, Ukraine and the West have made many unexpected moves.
First, Russia may give up on Zelensky's want.
According to CCTV News reported on the 9th, on the website of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko have been removed from the wanted list, and there is no information about these two people in the "wanted persons" database.
It is reported that before this, the website of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly announced that Zelensky and some high-ranking Ukrainian officials and dignitaries were wanted on the grounds that according to the Russian Criminal Code. Soon after, news of Zelensky's assassination came out from the Ukrainian side.
On May 7, the National Security Service of Ukraine announced that it had thwarted Russia's plan to assassinate Zelensky and arrested two colonels of the State Security Service of Ukraine who were involved in planning and carrying out the assassination. On May 8, the Kremlin responded by questioning the news released by the Ukrainian side, claiming that it had no comment on the incident.
It is difficult to judge whether Russia really sent agents to assassinate Zelensky, but the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs silently removed Zelensky from the wanted list, which can't help but make people make two guesses.
1, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put Zelensky on the wanted list on an "impulse", and the Russian high-level may not have thought it through and made up their minds to turn against Zelensky;
2. After the assassination of Zelensky, Russia temporarily changed its mind. Russian media such as the Russian newspaper "Viewpoint" believe that there may be a conspiracy in the inner circle of the Kyiv authorities themselves, or that the Ukrainian side blames the Russian intelligence services just to divert the contradictions. Then, if Zelensky encounters an accident, Russia will be identified by all parties as the real culprit, and "Zelensky wanted by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs" will be the key evidence, and the Russian side seems to realize that it is not appropriate to want Zelensky at this special moment, so it is better to give up for the time being.
However, Russia's attitude towards the Zelensky government still needs to be paid attention to, and it is difficult to guarantee that Russia will not make new adjustments according to the situation.
Second, a number of senior Ukrainian officials have been dismissed.
According to reference news reported on May 10, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted on the 9th to remove Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Kubrakov and Minister of Agriculture Nikolai Solsky from their posts.
It is reported that Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Kubrakov also served as the Minister of Infrastructure, and the Ukrainian parliamentarian pointed out that Kubrakov's department is extremely powerful, and the Kiev authorities intend to split the department; As for Uzbekistan's agriculture minister, Solisky, who is suspected of being involved in the illegal acquisition of state-owned land, has denied the accusation, but the investigation is ongoing.
Recently, the Ukrainian political scene has continued to "earthquake", and at present, the Ukrainian government has five vacancies for ministers. And on May 8, Zelensky disqualified Zaluzhny from military service, and on May 9, Zelensky officially signed a presidential decree appointing Zaluzhny as ambassador to the UK.
There are many complex reasons for such large-scale and frequent personnel changes in Ukrainian politics, which may be related to the situation on the front line, as well as the competition between Zelensky and Zaluzhny. However, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still ongoing, and there have been repeated dismissals in Ukrainian politics, which is only afraid that it will cause further turmoil in Ukraine. For Zelensky, internal and external challenges continue.
