"Zelensky's Major Military Shake-Up: Ukraine's New Army Chief"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has replaced his top general, Valery Zaluzhny, with senior ground forces commander Oleksandr Syrsky in a significant military shake-up. The move comes amid struggles to replenish ammunitions and political infighting over funding for Ukraine's defense. Zelenskyy's decision follows speculation of disagreements over war strategy and Zaluzhny's political ambitions. Syrsky, credited with preventing Russian troops from taking over Kyiv, faces concerns about troop support due to his willingness to sacrifice lives on the front lines. Despite concerns, the U.S. National Security Council expressed confidence in Ukraine's stability following the change.
