Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's dismissal of Valeriy Zaluzhny as the commander of Ukraine's armed forces has sparked significant discussion among experts and the public. A survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) from February 5th to 10th, 2024, revealed that 40% of Ukrainians trust the new Chief Commander of the Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, as of February 2024. However, the dismissal has affected Ukrainians' trust in Zelensky, with a poll indicating that if elections were held today, Zelensky would receive only 16% of the vote, while Zaluzhny, noted for his popularity, leads with 38% support. This week's episode of 'This Week In Ukraine', hosted by Masha Lavrova and featuring Kyiv Independent reporter @francisjfarrell, is dedicated to discussing the reshuffle of Ukraine's top military command.
