The deputy expressed this opinion in a conversation with RIA Novosti.

According to Sheremet, Zelensky is trying to stay in power by all possible means. He added that this is why the head of the Kyiv regime canceled the presidential elections in the country, and is also trying to shift the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine onto a subordinate. 

“Therefore, in this case, Zaluzhny’s possible resignation is not a personnel rotation, but an outright political reprisal,” Sheremet said.

Earlier, the director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, Ruslan Bortnik, suggested that Zelensky wants to achieve Zaluzhny’s resignation of his own free will.
