It is not unusual for civilian leaders to change commanders, even the top ones, in war. Sometimes that occurs because of insubordination.Anxiety at the very top of Ukraine’s wartime government has been laid bare, after rumours swept Kyiv on January 29th that the president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was about to fire his armed-forces commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, following weeks of reported tensions. It was not the first time a plan to remove the general has been mooted, but it was the most convincing. A dramatic day began with leaks from MPs, who had been informed, possibly strategically, about a “set of documents” sent to a security committee for signing. What so you think will happen to Ukraine if the Army commander is fired ?
