Zelenskyy's Decision on Ukraine's Top General Sparks Tension

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy withdrew his threat to dismiss commander-in-chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi after potential successors refused to assume the post, while Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of prisoners of war. German Chancellor Scholz called for greater European support for Ukraine, admitting that the EU fell short on a pledge to supply a million artillery rounds. Meanwhile, Russia claimed to have fended off a Ukrainian missile attack on Crimea, and the EU announced it would fall short of its target to deliver 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine by March. Additionally, Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners of war, and there were reports of Ukrainian drone strikes in Russian-occupied Donetsk and overnight Russian bombardments killing three people in Ukraine.
