“We have a new commander-in-chief,” Tsymbalyuk said on his social networks.
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. He did not provide official confirmation. The same information was provided by Ukrainian deputy Alexey Goncharenko**: he claims that Zaluzhny was announced about his resignation, but there is no decree on his dismissal yet.
Amid rumors of Zaluzhny’s resignation, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense issued a statement with the words “No, this is not true.” The department did not provide details.
