In hindsight, demoting #Zaluzhniy and sending him as #Ukraine's ambassador to the #UK has only made him a much more potent political threat to #Zelensky in the mid-term.

With his popularity intact and far away from increasingly difficult and unpopular decisions, #Zaluzhniy can build deep ties with key allies in the #West and wait out the #Bankova. Time is playing for him - if he plans to make a play down the road. So much for #Yermak's political genius.
