Zelensky motivated the need to fire Zaluzhny by “updating the situation”. Head of Ukraine noted that the new person would “renew the situation at the front,” and personnel changes could affect the allies, who have recently weakened financial support.
It is expected that the suspension will affect other high-ranking employees of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Previously, there was information that the Ukrainian authorities postponed the dismissal due to an information leak.
