Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree Sunday removing the commander of the military’s Joint Forces Operation (JFO), which is involved in the ongoing counteroffensive in the eastern Donbas region of the country.
Zelensky announced Eduard Moskalyov’s dismissal in a one-line decree without any explanation, according to Reuters. Moskalyov had been appointed to the position last March.
The JFO was launched as a resistance force in 2014 after Russia’s seizure of the Crimean peninsula and parts of the Donbas, and has been heavily involved in fighting since Moscow’s full invasion a year ago.
Moskalyov’s dismissal is the latest in a series of changes to Ukraine’s military amid a corruption scandal that nearly ousted Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.

They aint got a military left to have a coup.

Americans are pushing their military choices over the EUs.

Gosh! And they were winning and everything.

William Burns recently told Zelensky that Ukrainian must go on the offensive of weapons and funding might dry up by summer. Never mind that any offensive will be a suicide mission.
I'd guess Moskalyov told Zelensky it would be insane to try and offensive and that's why he was fired.

The Democrats and Neocons are going to keep fighting until they can have as many Ukrainians killed as possible.

Did the US Sec’y of Defense or Joint Chief of Staff have anything to do with the dismissal?? There have been articles suggesting that the Ukraine military is now under command of the US military.

Probably not a sign that things are going well. Next question is who will sack Zelensky?

Any links? That would be a BIG problem. And one would think typical Americans might be uncomfortable that there is no civilian control of the military.

BINGO it’s why Biden loves it so much.

LOL, they have been getting their ass handed to them them consistently. You fools confuse Russia's slow and methodical approach with success on Ukraine's side. When you actually accept the truth, you will see that hundreds of thousands of poorly trained Ukrainian troops have been killed while barely 14000 Russians have.
