On the YouTube channel 'Fabrika Novyn,' host Yurii Bibik and analyst Valerii Klochok discussed General Valerii Zaluzhnyi's return to Ukraine following his publication of a much-discussed article, which analysts dubbed a "manifesto." In it, Zaluzhnyi addressed security guarantees, the future of the war, and the country's political context.
Zaluzhnyi noted the lack of a clear political objective for Ukraine and indirectly criticized the authorities. Analysts see this as the beginning of his active political engagement. Many experts note growing tension between Zaluzhnyi and the Presidential Office, as reflected in public exchanges and criticism.
Though Zaluzhnyi has not officially announced any intention to run for office, speculation about his ambitions is widespread. Numerous politicians and businessmen are courting his potential candidacy, a dynamic typical for figures with high ratings.
Experts emphasize that these circumstances indicate increasing political confrontation and signs of preparations for an upcoming election campaign, even if no official start has been announced. The discussion participants consider this a normal process in the country’s democratic development.
