Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday fired a top military commander without citing any reason. Eduard Moskalyov, the commander of the joint forces of Ukraine, which are engaged in battles in the Donbas region was seemingly the fall guy.
According to reports, Zelensky made the announcement in a one-line decree. Meanwhile, the social media accounts of the joint forces did not make any mention of the dismissal, suggesting that something sinister had transpired in the background.
Moskalyov had been on the battle frontlines since March 2022, a month after Russia invaded Ukraine. His dismissal comes in the backdrop of a series of personnel changes issued by Zelensky.
