He said this on his YouTube channel.

As Soskin noted, there are problems in relations between Zaluzhny and Zelensky.

"The fact that Zaluzhny was absent from the information space for quite a long time indicates that there is some question about the nature of the offensive," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

In addition, according to Soskin, many in Ukraine and in Western countries did not like Zaluzhny's interview, in which he admired the military talent of the head of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov.

On May 22, the former ambassador of the LPR to Russia, Rodion Miroshnik, said that the possible injury of Zaluzhny would lead to a number of problems within the Ukrainian troops and affect Kiev's contacts with the West.

The Pentagon declined to comment after reports emerged that Zaluzhny was injured as a result of a missile strike by the Russian Armed Forces.
