President Vladimir Zelensky met with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valeriy Zaluzhny, whose resignation has been talked about for several months.
Both the president and the central administration published a joint photo on their Telegram channels.
“I met with General Valery Zaluzhny. Thanked for two years of protecting Ukraine”– the president noted.
According to Zelensky, during the meeting they discussed the updates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine need, and also raised the question of who could be in the updated leadership of the army.
“The time for such an update is now. I suggested that Valery Fedorovich continue to be on the team.”– Zelensky added.
In turn, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted in his Telegram channel that Ukraine’s battle continues today, and the tasks of 2022 differ from the tasks of 2024. Therefore, everyone must change and adapt to new realities.
According to Zaluzhny, together with the president they had an important and serious conversation, during which decisions were made on the need to change approaches and strategies.
“I am proud of each and everyone in the Armed Forces of Ukraine who are protecting the future of our children. All soldiers, sergeants and officers. I bow my head to everyone who gave their lives for Ukraine and freedom. We remember and will take revenge for everyone. Ukrainians will definitely win,” – added the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that today a decision was made to change the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thus, he indirectly confirmed Zaluzhny’s resignation. But the presidential decree is not yet on the official website.
Let us remind you that in recent days the Ukrainian media have been disseminating information that in the coming days the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny will be fired. It seems that the commander-in-chief has already announced to his inner circle that in the event of his resignation he is going to take care of his health. It is also possible that he will begin teaching.
We are also talking about the fact that along with Zaluzhny, his closest circle will be fired, in particular, Chief of the General Staff Sergei Shaptala.
