There is currently no document on the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi. This was stated in an exclusive commentary to Ukrainian Radio by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov, commenting on the situation regarding the statements of some telegram channels, and after them some media outlets, about the alleged resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny, UNN reports.
At the National Security and Defense Council, we do not work with speculation or other things other than documents, Oleksiy Danilov assured.
"There is no document on the resignation of the commander-in-chief as of today. If a document appears, then we can ask for opinions and talk about something. Until then, I would not advise anyone to raise these waves, to start saying that something has happened. You know that this is very destabilizing for the army itself, and it is not good for them. If there are certain documents, then we can talk about it.
What is published by reputable publications sometimes contains things that are not entirely true. I am aware of what I am talking about. Sometimes people are accused of things that did not happen. Today, we live in a world where, unfortunately, information wars last 24 hours a day and have a very powerful effect on the subconscious," said Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
