Jan 30 (Reuters) - Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is preparing to replace top commander Valery Zaluzhny in what would be the biggest shake-up of its military brass during Russia’s almost two-year-old invasion, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Zelenskiy on Monday offered Valeriy Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, a new role but the general refused, the FT report said, citing four people familiar with the discussions.
This may happen, or this may not. I’ve been hearing this rumor for weeks if not longer via Telegram. The author perpetuating this story is pro-Ukraine, but zealously anti-Zelenskiy since his election.
This smacks of an externally influenced ‘divide and conquer’ strategy, by sowing confusion and internal dissent.
