Conflicting Reports on Dismissal of Ukraine's Army Chief Zaluzhnyi
TL;DR
Reports suggest that Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi may have been dismissed, but President Zelensky's office denies it. The alleged disagreement between the two has been ongoing since November 2023, with Zelensky reportedly "bypassing" Zaluzhnyi in communication with some military commanders. Despite contradicting reports, a December 2023 poll showed that Zaluzhnyi has a 92% trust rating and an overwhelming majority of Ukrainians would disapprove of him being replaced.
