Here's the rewritten article, ensuring each paragraph maintains its original meaning while adding more detail:
A familiar scene unfolded once again on July 22nd in Ukraine as President Zelensky signed the controversial Bill No. 12414. This legislation effectively stripped the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) of their independence, granting the Prosecutor General unchecked authority to intervene in investigations, transfer crucial cases, and dismiss charges against high officials without court approval.
展开剩余90%Coincidentally, the day before the bill's passage, Ukrainian security forces raided the offices of NABU and SAPO, citing \"clearing Russian influence,\" arresting staff and accusing them of \"treason.\" The timing raised suspicions that this was orchestrated to pave the way for the new law.
Subsequently, protests erupted on the streets of Kyiv, where approximately 2,000 citizens gathered outside the presidential palace, brandishing slogans like \"Shame!\" and \"Protecting the anti-corruption system is safeguarding Ukraine's future.\" Even Kyiv Mayor Klitschko joined the demonstrators.
In addition, cities such as Dnipro, Lviv, and Odessa witnessed protests, marking the first large-scale anti-government demonstrations since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Given the current situation in Ukraine, it appears the United States is intervening, and Zelensky's position looks precarious.
Just last week, veteran U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh dropped a bombshell: Trump has decided to push for a change in the Ukrainian government. The current British ambassador and former Armed Forces Commander, Zaluzhnyi, has been selected as the successor. If Zelensky refuses to step down, he may be forcibly exiled overseas, with the transfer of power \"likely to occur within the coming months,\" according to Hersh.
In fact, Zelensky's presidency should have ended on May 20th of last year. However, due to martial law, Ukraine's new presidential election was indefinitely postponed. In February of this year, Trump urged Ukraine to hold elections soon, labeling Zelensky an \"unelected dictator.\" The two even publicly argued at the White House, after which Trump's patience with Zelensky began to wear thin.
Especially considering Trump's repeated statements hoping for a \"quick peace\" between Russia and Ukraine to fulfill campaign promises and reduce U.S. resource consumption, he even hinted at accepting Russian control over Crimea. However, Zelensky insisted on \"completely recovering territory,\" refusing to compromise in negotiations.
To be blunt, Russia's refusal to compromise stems from their battlefield gains and possession of nuclear weapons, whereas Ukraine has nothing, relying solely on aid from Western countries. Despite this, Zelensky remains defiant, and Trump has grown increasingly impatient.
Moreover, within the Republican Party, there's strong opposition to \"bottomless pit\" military aid to Ukraine, with the Senate criticizing the waste of taxpayer funds. Simultaneously, Zelensky's corruption scandals, such as high-priced defense procurement and bribes to recruitment officials, have been repeatedly exposed by the media, revealing that the so-called \"tragic hero\" narrative is entirely false. With these factors combined, it's not surprising that Trump is now moving to replace this \"disobedient pawn.\"
As for why Zaluzhnyi was chosen, it's not coincidental. He was formerly the highest commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces but was reassigned to the United Kingdom as an ambassador due to disagreements with Zelensky. Zaluzhnyi belongs to the \"pragmatist faction,\" advocating for \"defense first\" and opposing meaningless offensives, advocating against soldiers dying in vain. In the latest polls in Ukraine, Zaluzhnyi's support has surpassed Zelensky's.
What's more critical is the rumor that Zaluzhnyi secretly contacted senior Russian military officials, a communication ability Trump urgently needs. While Zelensky continues to proclaim \"fighting until the last man,\" Zaluzhnyi has become Trump's ideal spokesperson for \"damage control.\"
Zelensky seems to have anticipated this move. On July 17th, he suddenly launched the largest cabinet reshuffle since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began. The former Prime Minister, Shmyhal, was \"demoted\" to Defense Minister, Defense Minister Umelov was reassigned as Ambassador to the United States, and close confidant Sviridchenko became Ukraine's second female Prime Minister since independence.
Many have dubbed this reshuffle as a \"carousel of power\" and \"shuffle of positions.\" Frontline soldiers, upon seeing the economist Shmyhal taking over the Defense Ministry, mocked on social media, saying it's better to let a cook command tanks than an economist.
What adds drama is that on the day Hersh leaked the news, Zelensky suddenly extended an olive branch to Putin, expressing readiness for direct leadership talks, stating, \"Ukraine is ready.\" This attitude starkly contrasts with his previous stance.
Perhaps in Trump's view, if he wants a \"quick peace,\" he must first remove Zelensky, the \"roadblock,\" and replace him with someone like Zaluzhnyi, a \"transitional president.\" After all, as the Russian military advances step by step, the longer they delay, the more Ukrainian territory Russia occupies, the fewer minerals America gets in hand, and the fewer bargaining chips America has at the negotiating table, fundamentally still \"America First.\"
However, Zelensky is unwilling to bear the label of \"losing territory and humiliating the country,\" so does Zaluzhnyi dare to make the first move himself? If he dares to sign, he will not be far from the fate of Yarukovich. Of course, this may also be Trump's public relations strategy to force Zelensky to \"conform\"!
