For a long time there were reports that the relations between the two were not the best possible
With the war between Russia and Ukraine to rage, President Zelensky decided to remove Valery Zaluzny, Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
For a long time there were reports that theThe relations between the two were not the best possible. In addition, Zaluzny did not often pose publicly, but on the occasions when he did, “he had not previously consulted with the president’s office”explains the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
In an interview with the Economist, for example, Zaluzny admitted that the Ukrainian counterattack was unsuccessful. These statements provoked the reaction of Zelensky, “who publicly denied that the war had reached a stalemate […] and also publicly warned the head of the army not to get involved in politics.
Apparently for a long time Zaluzny was regarded as potential competitor to Zelensky for the presidency. The people trust both the former supreme commander of the Armed Forces and the army itself. And according to a recent poll by the International Institute of Sociology in Kyiv Zaluzny enjoys the trust of 88% of citizens, while President Zelensky has 63%.”
