Recall
Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi gave a high-profile interview, where he spoke about the failure of the 2023 counteroffensive due to a lack of resources and the SBU searches in 2022, which he regarded as an act of intimidation. He said that he had warned the President's Office about his readiness to call in military personnel to protect the command center.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that public discussion of the details of Valerii Zaluzhnyi's interview is inappropriate, as it concerns a warring army. He has not communicated with Zaluzhnyi since the publication.
