Replacement of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Yesterday, February 8, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
This happened after there were many rumors last week about Zelenskyy's decision to retire Zaluzhnyi.
The new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is Oleksandr Syrskyi, who previously served as Commander of the Ground Forces.
