Romania’s Presidential Election: European Alliances vs Authoritarian Drift
14 May 2025
Speculation surrounding General Zaluzhny’s potential resignation appears to be substantiated, prompting an examination of the prospective successor to lead the Ukrainian army and the military’s response to this development.
Since 29 January, various Ukrainian officials and journalists have raised speculation that General Valerii Zaluzhny, a prominent figure in Ukrainian society, is on the brink of being dismissed as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
President Volodymir Zelenskyy has so far refused to confirm if he had already initiated formal steps to remove the popular general but said on the record he was planning a major reshuffle at the top of the leadership in response to mounting challenges off and on the battlefield.
Divergence in the course of action
“There is definitely a need for a reset, a new beginning. When we talk about this, I mean the replacement of several state leaders, not just in one sector, such as the military, Zelenskyy told Italian television.
