WP: Zelensky motivated the need to fire Zaluzhny by “updating the situation”

This was reported by The Washington Post with reference to a high-ranking Ukrainian official aware of the details of the meeting.

It is clarified that at a meeting on January 29, the 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, the article says.

Also, according to the publication, it is expected that the suspension will affect not only Zaluzhny, but also 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 of Zaluzhny due to an information leak.

According to FT, Zelensky offered Zaluzhny the position of defense adviser in exchange for a resignation letter, but he refused.
