Ukraine's top military commander, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, who authored an OpEd on CNN, is at the center of a political struggle with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Amidst ongoing Russian aggression, Zaluzhnyi has called for an urgent overhaul of Ukraine's war effort and high-tech warfare capabilities to counter Russia's numerical advantages. The tension has escalated to the point where Zelensky reportedly informed the US administration about his decision to dismiss Zaluzhnyi, a move that could have significant implications for Ukraine's military leadership and strategy. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue their attacks across Ukraine, with recent strikes on Kherson resulting in casualties and damage to an 18th-century national monument. In Kryvyi Rih, a power substation was hit by drones, leading to widespread outages and the temporary trapping of 113 miners. Ukrainian forces have been utilizing FPV drones effectively against Russian targets, but the country also faces challenges such as a lack of ammunition and infantry. Ukrainian air defenses downed 9 of 14 drones in a recent attack, while the Russian Defense Minister claims that Russian forces now 'hold the strategic initiative' along the entire line of contact.

Mr. President, for the good of the country, we strongly urge you to quickly make a public statement affirming that you have full confidence in Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhnyi. All the false media reports are causing anxiety here and abroad.
So - Zelenky's war room meeting is over for today, and General Zaluzhny is not sacked. Once again - regardless of Zelensky's and his administration's wishes, it would be an extremely turbulent move. And yeah, good luck finding a willing candidate to fill Zaluzhny's shoes.
