Ukraine** Zelensky signed a ** order in Zaluz on February 8, removing the Ukrainian armed forces from the post of supreme commander on Zulu Day. On the same day, 58-year-old Syrsky became the new supreme commander of the Ukrainian army. From 2019, he was the supreme commander of the Ukrainian military, until 2020, when he was promoted to general.
The report said this was the largest reshuffle at the highest level of the Ukrainian military since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. Zelensky posted a photo of him with Zaluzhny to his circle of friends and shook hands with her with a smile on his face. In the article, he also expressed his gratitude to Zaluzhny and said that it was a moment of "generational change". He also said that Zaluzhny will work with the team.
Zelensky posted a photo with Zaluzhny to his circle of friends, and on this photo, the two shook hands with a smile.
It is reported that the post of Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was independent in March 2020 after Zelensky took office, after the Chief of Staff of Ukraine also served as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy ousted Ruslan Khomchak, then Chief of the General Staff and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, in March 2020 and made him the supreme commander of the Ukrainian army.
Ruslan was removed from his post as supreme commander of the Ukrainian armed forces in July this year because of his contradictions with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. In the same month, Zaluzhny, known as the "Iron General", became the commander of the Ukrainian military for two years and six months.
Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking about Zaluzhny's dismissal, said it showed that the current situation in Ukraine is not very good.
The new commander-in-chief:
can be prevented and attacked", experienced in a hundred battles, nicknamed "butcher".
It is reported that Thurs is based on the Soviet Army Higher Officer Academy, graduated from the Soviet Union Higher Officer Academy in 1986, and joined an artillery team of the Soviet Union. He also served in Afghanistan and the Czech Republic until the collapse of the Soviet Union. After joining Ukraine's fledgling units in 1991, he progressed to become a senior military officer. From 2007 to 2014, Syrsky served in several important commands. He became the supreme commander of the Ukrainian military in 2019 and was not appointed as the supreme commander of the new armed forces until the 8th. It is reported that he was also an active figure in promoting Ukraine's membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
58-year-old Syrsky was inaugurated as the new supreme commander of the Ukrainian army.
During the Russian-Ukrainian war, this general, known as the "butcher", made great achievements. In February 2022, when the Russian-Ukrainian war began, when everyone thought that Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, would be lost, Syrsky carried out a "shocking" defense in Kyiv. Syrsky also received the title of "Warrior of Ukraine", the highest honor of Ukraine. In September, he led his army in a major counterattack in Kharkiv, Ukraine, which has been hailed as "the greatest battle in Ukraine since the war began" and won widespread praise. Zelensky also praised Sersky's "victory both in defense and in attack." ”
But the Battle of Mutter was commanded by Sersky, and both American and Ukrainian servicemen are skeptical. The Battle of Mutter has been hailed as the longest and bloodiest of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The report notes that although the Ukrainian army is retreating, Syrsky still claims that "the Russian army is larger than Ukraine, so the situation is quite stable." "After more than 200 days and nights of war, the Ukrainian army finally ended in defeat, and Syrsky was blamed for wasting too much supplies in the war.
News: Popular 'coach' replaced Zelensky by 'difficult wartime' bet.
According to news reports, Syrsky's appointment comes at a time when the Ukrainian army is facing "particularly difficult" challenges: uncertainty about the level of future military assistance, a shortage of ammunition for the Ukrainian army, and difficulties in recruiting new fighters.
There were also reports that his dismissal would have sparked a flurry of buzz because he was well-known among both the military and civilians. According to reports, Zaluzhny defeated Zelensky with more than 77 percent of the vote. News reports say that the disciplined and strong-willed Sersky was much less than his predecessors. At a time when the Ukrainian army is in a difficult situation, replacing the "super popular" Zulzeni is a "big gamble" for Zelensky, and it also reflects Ukraine's eagerness to adopt a strategy "different from the past" in the war.
The report says that there are officers and officers of the Ukrainian army who believe that Syrsky used the tactics of the old era. As we can see from the Battle of Mutter, he still follows an ancient and brutal strategy. A Ukrainian commander who has been following Syrsky since 2014 has never expressed his desire to adopt new tactics and technologies. While recognizing Syrsky as a competent leader, another serviceman said he also deeply regretted Zaluzhny's dismissal, saying: "I don't believe that changing the manager at this time is in the interest of the war ahead." The soldier, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added that Mr. Syrsky was too close to the authorities and that "he should have been more independent." ”
Zelensky praised Syrsky: "A victory both in defense and in attack".
On the streets of Kiev, the news of Zaluzhny's dismissal was no less disappointing. Kyiv resident Vitlana Karenina said: "This decision is too outlandish. Olena, a doctor in Kyiv, said she was very disappointed by the incident, "It worries me very much. However, according to military analyst Samsus, Zelenskyy has no other choice, saying: "* You can't make decisions based on the support of the people alone."
