It is dangerous to change AFU subordination
Politicians who seek to take over the leadership structure of the army risk our victory
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been the sole state institution that has displayed unwavering effectiveness since the commencement of the invasion until the present.
Modifying the chain of command in the Armed Forces and creating alternative decision-making centers is more dangerous than changing leadership during a war.
Given that a consensus has been established in society about maintaining stable governance until the war concludes, a consensus should also be reached concerning the continuity of leadership in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The leadership not only demonstrated its efficacy but also ensured our survival.

When I was a small child and I was itching to disassemble and clean something in my father's motorbike, my father said: do not interfere with the machine's operation! These were very wise words, I was convinced of this more than once in my life. And a motorcycle that suffered a lot from a young mechanic served as an example. It's very easy to break something that works. Even when you want to improve it.
Right now, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are like a well-oiled machine - powerful, efficient, and reliable. But since they liberated Kharkiv Oblast, politicians have been trying to get involved. One general got banned from talking to the media without government permission, while another one was all over the TV. Now the tendencies to meddle in the affairs of the army are increasing. And this is disturbing.
Politicians! As much as you want unlimited power, let's win this war first, and then steal, lie, do whatever the hell you want, okay? I really don't want to put my life on the line because of your political interests.
