In a surprising turn of events, Ukrainian President Zelensky has fired General Valery Zelensky, the man who has led the war against Putin's forces in Ukraine. The decision came after tension between the two leaders and criticism of the general's military strategy.
General Zelensky, who has been at the forefront of the military effort to push back Russian forces since their invasion two years ago, is widely respected and highly popular among Ukrainians. However, following a failed large-scale counteroffensive and slow progress in the conflict, relations between the general and President Zelensky appeared strained.
