According to our sources in the President's Office, the head of the OP, Andriy Yermak, is continuing the "cleansing" of the General Staff. The next target seems to be the commander of the Ground Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, who may be blamed for failures on the eastern front.
The situation in Donbas is becoming increasingly critical, and this is causing a wave of discontent among society and the military. The Kursk operation, which was actively promoted in the OP as a "strategic breakthrough", is increasingly becoming an object of criticism. It is especially hotly discussed among the military, where it is called an unjustified risk initiated to minimize political losses for President Volodymyr Zelensky.
It seems that Bankova is trying to find a “scapegoat” to take responsibility for the military difficulties. Syrsky, despite his experience and authority, could be an ideal candidate for this. His name is already being mentioned in the context of possible personnel decisions, and rumors about his resignation being prepared confirm the tendency to “shift the blame.”.
