Soskin: Zelensky was going to remove Zaluzhny because of the destruction of the Il-76 with prisoners. He suggested that the head of the Kyiv regime knew about the presence of Ukrainians on board, and decoding the black boxes would worsen the situation for the Ukrainian authorities.

Earlier, British political scientist Mark Galeotti, citing sources, said that Zelenski’s office planned to resign Zalzny, but changed his mind. The former adviser to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin believes that the attempt was made to remove the commander in chief.
