Ukraine’s Zelensky and the Slow-Motion Dismissal of General Zaluzhny
The soap opera around the dismissal of Ukrainian Commander in Chief Valery Zaluzhny drags on, as President Volodymyr Zelensky appears decided to fire his political nemesis in slow motion.
The rumors of Zaluzhny’s ousting have been going on for months, but they intensified in the last week. After first denying it, reports told that Kiev had given notice to the American allies of this decision.
Now, for the first time, Zelensky admits in public that he will replace General Zaluzhny, poorly disguised as a wide-ranging revamp of the state leadership.
