President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is thinking about replacing not only Chief of the Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, but also a number of other leaders.

“Zaluzhnyi? We need a reset, a change of leadership, not only in the military. This is an issue that concerns the people who should lead Ukraine. We definitely need a reset, a new beginning,” he said in an interview with Italian television company RAI published on Sunday.

“I have something serious in mind that concerns not just one person, but the direction of the country’s leadership. When we talk about this, I mean the replacement of a number of state leaders, not just in one sector, such as the army. I am thinking about this replacement, but we cannot say that we have replaced one person here,” he said.

Zelensky said that if Ukraine wants to win, everyone needs to move in the same direction. “Being convinced of victory, we cannot be sad, we cannot give up, we must have the right positive energy… that’s why I’m talking about restarting, replacing. I have something serious in mind, it is not about one person, but about the direction of the country’s leadership,” he explained.
