President of Ukraine has said he is “thinking” about replacing the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, and changing the direction of the country’s leadership. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with Italian TV channel Rai1

He was asked to comment on media reports about Zaluzhnyi’s possible resignation.

“When we talk about this, I have the rotation of several state leaders in mind, not only in one sector, such as the military. I"m thinking about this replacement [of Zaluzhnyi], but I can’t say we’ve replaced one person here...

If we want to win, we have to push everyone in the same direction and be convinced of victory, we mustn’t despair or give up, we have to have the right positive energy... That’s why I"m talking about a reset, a replacement: I mean something serious that isn’t just about one person, but the direction of the country’s leadership. This is about the people who should lead Ukraine. Of course we need a reset, a new beginning”, - said the President.
