…as "Vance and others from Trump's entourage were apparently looking for potential alternatives to the troubled Zelensky."
Moreover, when Zelensky flew to London after the Oval Office row to Starmer, Zaluzhnyi met him at the airport and posted a photo of them shaking hands on his social media.

JD Vance's alternative was the guy who is even less likely to put up with their shit? Lol. This dude is clueless. It sounds like they just wanted to cause drama in Ukraine and pit Zaluzhnyi against Zelenskyy so Zaluzhnyi's response to go and shake Zelenskyy's hand seems like a political move, a "I stand with Zelenskyy, I'm not challenging him" message to America.
Something I've also noticed about Zaluzhny is that he is pretty vocal in criticism towards America and certain other countries, I've seen him openly criticise the Trump admin, so WTF was JD Vance thinking? I don't know if Zaluzhny's position allows him to do so or he simply doesn't care but I reckon if he was President he would hold his tongue less than Zelenskyy does.
It's good that Zaluzhny and Zelenskyy still seem friendly with each other, they don't agree with each other on everything, and I think it was a mistake to remove Zaluzhny from the military structure, but they both want what is best for Ukraine and saw right through JD Vance's shitty attempt to divide Ukraine and pit them against each other.
