Ukraine army chief sacked
KYIV. – Ukraine’s president yesterday sacked the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
It follows speculation about a rift between the president and Gen Zaluzhnyi, who has led Ukraine’s war effort since the conflict began.
General Oleksandr Syrskyi was announced as his replacement in a presidential decree.
The move marks the biggest change to Ukraine’s military leadership since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
Zelensky said the high command needed to be “renewed” and that Gen Zaluzhnyi could “remain on the team”.
“Starting today, a new management team will take over the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he said. – BBC.com
