Zelensky replaces his army chief in major shake-up of Ukraine’s military
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy replaced Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi as the leader of Ukraine's army, signaling a significant shift in the country's war strategy.
Zelenskyy appointed Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of Ukraine's ground forces, as the new head of the army.
Ukrainian troops shot down a Russian attack helicopter near the city of Avdiivka, where intense street-to-street combat is ongoing.
In Kiev, the personnel carousel is turning — initially with the military. Moscow sees Saluzhniy's dismissal as evidence of the political crisis in Kiev.
Met een nieuwe commandant van de strijdkrachten, Oleksandr Syrsky, wil president Zelensky de strijd tegen de Russen een nieuwe impuls geven. De vraag is hoeveel risico Zelenksy neemt.
