Rumors that Ukraine's top commander may be dismissed expose rifts in Ukraine top brass
Fox News
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's top commander, is a popular figure, but rumors have emerged of a deep rift between military and political leadership in the nation.
His departure would be the most severe shakeup of Ukraine's top military brass since the Russian invasion as the country grapples with dire ammunition and personnel shortages following a failed summer counteroffensive. It also could hurt the morale of Ukrainian troops, who have been fighting grinding battles for nearly two years.
Much needed military aid to fuel the next phase of the fight is blocked in the U.S. Congress, and Ukrainian forces are digging in to defend positions against advancing Russian troops.
