General Who Doesn't Know the Front Doesn't Serve Ukraine Zelensky Sacks Army Chief Zaluzhny

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired his army chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi in the biggest military shake-up since Russia’s invasion began. Zaluzhnyi, who led Ukraine forces throughout the war so far, was replaced by the commander of the ground forces, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrsky. Zelenskiy’s political opponents have criticised him for the vagueness of his statements about why he wants to replace Zaluzhnyi. Zelensky’s decision to dismiss the army chief is seen as a risky move for him, given Zaluzhnyi’s high approval ratings among Ukrainians. #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #putin #usa Video: AP/AFP/Reuters/Twitter 0:00 - Introduction 0:39 - Zelensky Dismisses Ukraine’s Commander-in-chief Amid War 2:33 - Tension Between Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi Boils Over? 4:40 - Zelensky Wary of Zaluzhnyi Popularity? 5:38 - Zelensky Demands “realistic” Action Plan for Battlefield n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events
