"Zelensky's Impending Decision: Dismissing Ukraine's Top General Amid Growing Tensions"

Ukrainian President Zelensky is expected to dismiss army chief Valery Zaluzhny following tensions over the war with Russia, despite denials from the president's office. Zaluzhny's popularity remains high, but his description of the conflict as a stalemate has reportedly strained his relationship with Zelensky. The dismissal comes after Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russian forces made modest gains, leading to a call for a large-scale mobilization effort. Potential successors for the top military position are being discussed, including Kyrylo Budanov and Oleksandr Syrskyi.
