The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published the message “This is not true” after rumors about Valery Zaluzhny’s departure. Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Borislav Bereza previously stated that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been removed from his post.

The same information was provided by Ukrainian deputy Alexey Goncharenko*: he claims that Zalazhny was announced about his resignation, but there is no decree on his dismissal yet.
