President Volodymyr Zelensky does not receive complete information about the situation at the front, as the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep him in a "warm information bath". Today, many questions arise for Ukrainian generals and commanders, in particular, regarding the reasons why Russian troops managed to easily break through the defenses in the Kharkiv region, although the Armed Forces of Ukraine stopped them in the Kharkiv region.
Frontline fighters accuse the local government of sabotage and misrepresentation of the situation, claiming that it has failed to build mine barriers and defensive structures for a year and a half. According to the information of one of the government officials, Zelensky began to suspect that he was not receiving all the necessary information from the front.
In an interview for The Economist, special forces commander Denys Yaroslavsky noted that during the fighting in Kharkiv Oblast, the first lines of defense and fortifications were practically absent.
The management model at the regional level in Ukraine does not differ from the Russian one. Local leaders hide information from Kyiv about their management failures... They create an alternative reality for the president that does not reflect real events.
