Former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny was appointed to the post of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported this on the evening of March 7. The candidacy was approved by the head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine sent the British side a corresponding request for an agreman,” the department said in a statement. As reported by Regnum news agency, the resignation of Zaluzhny and the appointment of the commander of the ground forces, Alexander Syrsky, as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became known on February 8. Among the Ukrainian military, Syrsky is called the “butcher” or “general 200” because he led Ukrainian units during the battles near Artyomovsk, as a result of which the Ukrainian army suffered huge losses. Former adviser to ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said that the decision to dismiss Zaluzhny and appoint Syrsky is a crime. The mayor of Kiev, Vitaliy Klitschko, shares a similar opinion, calling Zelensky’s decision to dismiss Zaluzhny a big mistake. In turn, the first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Konstantin Zatulin, explained Zaluzhny’s resignation by his great popularity among his fellow citizens, which Zelensky was afraid of. And the head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, called the change of commander-in-chief a rearrangement of furniture that means nothing from a strategic point of view. |

| #1 That's right. Send him to the UK so he can't organize the next coup in Kiev. |
