Russian officials commented after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy replaced his country’s popular army chief with his ground forces commander on Thursday, a huge gamble at a time when Russian forces are gaining the upper hand nearly two years into their war. The Kremlin said it did not believe that a change at the top of Ukraine’s military leadership would alter the outcome of the conflict. Zelesnkiy replaced the country’s outgoing armed forces commander General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi with Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, 58. Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev on Friday said Ukraine’s new Russian-born army chief was a traitor, while the Kremlin said the appointment would not alter the outcome of what Russia calls its special military operation in Ukraine. Do you think that the new army chief will help Ukraine change the way of the war ?
