He’s only been telling the US that he is about to fire him. There’s not been an official removal yet.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet his top army commander, Valeriy Zaluzhny, for the first time since the president tried and failed on force out the popular army general.
That’s an understatement of the century there. What we’re seeing is that the leader of the country told his top general that he has no confidence in him, and asked him to resign. The general refused and told him to stuff it. This is the highest level of insubordination, and it clearly demonstrates that Zelensky no longer controls the military. What exactly does a president who doesn’t have control over the military control in war time?

Apparently Zal is more popular in Ukr than Zel is right now. A general refusing to be fired is not a good sign.

This is a good example for world leaders needing to be on good terms with their military…
I had no idea he was so popular among the citizenry…
