Zelensky Overhauls Ukraine's Military Leadership
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Washington Post
Ukrainian President Zelensky has replaced Gen. Valery Zaluzhny with Oleksandr Syrsky as the new military chief, a decision that may not sit well with troops due to Syrsky's controversial leadership style. Zelensky also mentioned that other commanders are being considered for promotions, and he has asked Zaluzhny to remain as part of the Ukrainian state's future team. The change comes amid a challenging military situation for Ukraine, with Russia regaining the strategic initiative and Ukraine facing shortages in troops and ammunition.
