Col Anatoly Shtefan published a photo with Valery Zaluzhny to counter rumours that he was wounded or dead
BBC: Valery Zaluzhny, the man behind Ukraine's counter-offensive
Ukraine's long-awaited attempt to take back the territories in the east and south of the country, occupied by Russia for the past 18 months, is now in full swing.
A key figure in planning and executing this operation is Gen Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine's 49-year-old commander-in-chief.
Little known until recently, his popularity now rivals that of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Gen Zaluzhny, or "our Valera" as friends and old classmates like to call him, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian military in July 2021.
Those who know him well say the appointment, pushed through personally by President Zelensky, came as a surprise to the general and many others too as his promotion involved climbing several steps on the career ladder.

WNU Editor: The above BBC article praises General Zaluzhny as a military genius reaching mythical status, and then goes beyond that ....
.... His name became synonymous with bravery and determination, and his reputation spawned anecdotes and turns of phrase. "When Zaluzhny walks into an unlit room, he doesn't switch on the light, he switches off the darkness," one such phrase went.
His popularity ratings drew level with Zelensky's, and conspiracy theorists began speculating on a possible rift between them.
No mention from the BBC that in the past week every major US news publication has quoted US intelligence officials saying that he was the man directly responsible for destroying the Nord Stream pipelines. No mention that for the past 6 weeks he has avoided public events and NATO meetings, with the only evidence proving that he is still alive coming from a few official Ukrainian photographs and a brief video or two.
But the best part of the BBC article is the end where the writers admit the following ....
.... The BBC asked Gen Zaluzhny for an interview. He declined our request.
Hmmmm .... this is interesting.
After a glowing article on the General, an admission from the BBC that they contacted his office for a comment and the office basically said "no comment".
Something is not right.
So what is up?
I see a power struggle in play. It looks like there are some who want to pin the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline on the General, and they want to see him gone. And there are some (in the UK via through the BBC) who want him to remain where he is.

We all now who blew up the pipeline, and Russia will eventually respond in kind. Severing undersea communication cables will cause a banking and trade disaster that will dwarf what the Nordstream cost the Russians. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens early next year before the election
Yes, like ukraine has the capability or equipment to pull off such an attack.
As for the general refusing an interview...ummm, he has more pressing matters at hand beleive it or not
you can have a beer and celebrate keep going, but when Putin presses a button on your warheads you turn into spaghetti quickly and even the USA will not want to enter you can bet...
