Ukraine's military command is on the verge of its most dramatic shakeup of the entire conflict as Zelensky prepares to replace General Syrsky with Budanov, a move that Alexander Mercouris on The Duran argues signals a deliberate pivot away from conventional warfare toward a long term insurgency strategy backed by Washington. With Konstantinovka nearing collapse, the Russian advance pressing toward both the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk conurbation and Zaporizhzhia, and Ukraine's celebrated drone offensive visibly fading as mobile launchers replace fixed sites, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris cut through the western media narrative to lay out what the battlefield reality actually looks like in June 2026. Is the appointment of Budanov an admission that Ukraine's conventional defense is already lost?
