Zelensky Ditches Military Chief Amid Protests Over Wasted Lives The dismissal of Valerii Zaluzhnyi as Ukraine's military chief by President Volodymyr Zelensky marks a move years in the making.
Protests demanding his ouster were not just about Zaluzhnyi himself but also about the broader failures of Ukraine's military leadership during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
At its core, this crisis is about accountability – or rather, the lack thereof. For too long, Ukraine's military has been plagued by inefficiencies, mismanagement, and a reckless disregard for human life.
