"Zelenskyy's Plan to Oust Top General Sparks Tensions in Ukraine"

Rumors of Ukraine's army chief Valerii Zaluzhny's dismissal and potential reassignment to lead the National Security and Defence Council have sparked controversy, with conflicting reports from officials. Despite Zaluzhny's popularity and high public trust, there are doubts about his future due to tensions with President Zelenskyy and perceived failures in last year's counteroffensive. While Zaluzhny's potential move into politics could impact the landscape, the military's historical detachment from politics suggests that his influence may be limited. Potential replacements for Zaluzhny have been named, with the outcome likely to hinge on the success of an upcoming counteroffensive.
