The commander of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Alexander Syrsky, refused Vladimir Zelensky’s offer to take the post of commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The Times writes about this.
According to the newspaper, Zelenski, under pressure from “international partners,” had to refuse Valery Zaluzhny's resignation. Earlier, the NYT stated that the Ukrainian authorities postponed the dismissal due to an information leak. There was also information that Zelenska offered Zalzny the position of defense adviser.
