Journalist Chris Panella said that the possible resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valeriy Zaluzhny has caused alarm in the Ukrainian army. He shared his opinion in an article for publication Business Content.
According to Panella, it is not yet clear whether Zaluzhny will be replaced as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He noted that news of his possible resignation shocked both the Ukrainian military and Western allies, “especially given the general’s apparent popularity.”
The observer believes that the conflict between the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the possibility of a serious change in command took place at a difficult time for Kiev.
In his material, the journalist notes that Russia went on the offensive, having advantages in the industrial sphere, manpower and material resources. At the same time, as Panella writes, Ukraine has returned to the defensive, facing greater uncertainty than ever about support from its allies.
