Zelensky Considers Replacing Ukrainian Army Chief

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly considering replacing General Valerii Zaluzhnyi as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This move has sparked backlash from military commanders and international allies, and has escalated tensions between the two. Zaluzhnyi's removal could potentially damage Ukraine's military reputation, as he has been lauded for his successful defence against Russia. However, Zelensky is reportedly concerned about Zaluzhnyi potentially becoming an electoral challenger. The situation is under the watchful eye of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who has noted growing contradictions.
