The big mistake of Zelensky”: Mayor of Kyiv criticizes Zelensky for removing Valeriy Zaluzhnyy from the position of Chief Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko considers it a major mistake by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to remove Valeriy Zaluzhny from the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He stated this in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica.

Klitschko noted that after the dismissal of Valeriy Zaluzhny, Volodymyr Zelensky “should have explained the reason for the decision, which shocked every Ukrainian,” and “many felt bewildered and desperate.”

“The expulsion of General Zaluzhny was a very serious mistake. Now we need a government of national unity to regroup,” said Klitschko.

“No peaceful plan will work if the front line is not held. We will be able to achieve this only when we are strong and the Russians will respect that,” added the Mayor of Kyiv.

Recall that according to a survey published by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, trust in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decreased by 5% after the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhny.
