Ukraine's Zelenskyy takes one of his 'biggest gambles' yet by replacing top military commander

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has replaced his top military commander, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, with Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi in a major military shake-up. Zaluzhnyi, a respected figure in Ukraine, was removed after reported tensions with Zelenskyy over strategy. This change represents the most significant shift in Ukraine's military leadership since Russia's invasion nearly two years ago. Zelenskyy stated that the decision was necessary to renew the leadership of Ukraine's armed forces, emphasizing the need for effective changes in defense ahead of 2024. However, analysts warn that the timing of Zaluzhnyi's removal is unfortunate, given the growing ammunition shortages and delays in Western military aid that Ukraine is facing.
