Ukrainian authorities informed the White House about Vladimir Zelensky’s plans to dismiss the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. The Washington Post reports that this will be the most significant personnel change in the entire history of the conflict.

The White House neither supported nor expressed any objections to the decision, according to the publication's interlocutors. Earlier, The New York Times reported that Ukrainian authorities postponed the dismissal due to an information leak.
