The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the head of state agreed: direct military decisions should be made by the generals.
President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed in 2019 that he should not directly interfere in military decisions because he is not familiar with military affairs. This was said by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny in an interview with Time magazine.
According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he informed the new head of state about military operations and command structures. Zaluzhny did not teach the president the tactical intricacies of war.
“He needs to understand military affairs no more than medicine or bridge building,” the general said.
Former Assistant Defense Minister Oleksiy Melnyk said Zelensky allowed the generals to “run the ball” without direct interference in military affairs, the newspaper noted.
The article also touched on information about the alleged conflict between Zelensky and Zaluzhny. Also, there is a commentary by the adviser to the Office of the President Alexei Arestovich, where he refutes such information.
“The so-called conflict in Zaluzhny was invented by our opposition from beginning to end. On the one hand, it is clearly fabricated. On the other hand, it has a painful effect, because it provokes a conflict between of the military leader and the The commander-in-chief is a disaster,” he said.
As previously reported, Zaluzhny also said that he studied with the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov.
