Ukraine’s regional authorities received instructions from President Vladimir Zelensky’s office prohibiting them from interacting with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny. Journalist Yuri Nikolov reported this on the social network Facebook (the owner of the company Meta is known as an extremist in Russia and is banned).
According to the journalist, such an order was given to prevent regional elites from speculating about Zaluzhny. Nikolov believes that Zelensky’s team is trying to eliminate a potential rival in this way.
Previously, there was a split between the President of Ukraine and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and Russian spies were blamed for this conflict. This version was put forward by Alexei Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, who added that Moscow was trying to incite Ukrainian citizens against the government.
Ilya Kiva, also a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine sent Statements made by the Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin and the Director of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Alexei Sukhachev against the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, deliberately accusing them of delaying the negotiation process.
