Has Zelensky made a strategic blunder?
- The political environment may reflect a consolidation of internal power to facilitate a potential ceasefire and subsequent elections.
- Administrative actions appear reactive to investigations involving members of the president's inner circle.
- Specific allegations regarding Russian infiltration or criminality among certain officers are suspected to contain kernels of truth, though the administration suggests no institution is entirely clean.
- Legislation to establish the independence of these bodies is expected to be drafted within the next few days and potentially finalized before Friday.
- The draft law is currently under scrutiny to determine if it creates a genuine appearance of solidity rather than merely an illusory one.
- No immediate efforts are being made to cancel the bill, although cancellation is viewed as the only effective measure to fully restore trust in the state's European trajectory.
- The administration's confidence in proceeding with this risky legislation may be influenced by the prospect of Donald Trump's support.
- There is a risk that the legislation will fail to provide the necessary substance to re-establish trust, resembling an attempt to give solidity to wind.
