Overview

  • Zelensky is considering the dismissal of Ukraine's top military officer, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, as part of a broader leadership overhaul.
  • The potential ouster of Zaluzhnyi, a popular figure among troops and citizens, has sparked concern and debate within Ukraine and among its allies.
