The Washington Post says Ukraine has informed the White House that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has decided to fire his top military commander.
The newspaper on Friday quoted sources as saying White House officials neither supported nor objected to the decision, but acknowledged it as the president’s sovereign choice.
The Post reported that no time frame has been given for the ouster of Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces. It noted that the advance notice to Washington reflects the influential role of the United States as Ukraine’s most powerful backer.
