Kyiv feared unrest due to the planned resignation of Valery Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army. On February 2, the Security Service of Ukraine warned its employees to prepare for “possible violations in Kyiv.” Subsequently, Zalushny’s resignation never took place.

Vladimir Zelensky is also considering the dismissal of the Chief of the Ukraine General Staff Sergei Shaptala, Ukrayinska Pravda reports.
