Power struggle in Ukraine: Zelensky wants to fire Saluzhny - general refuses to resign. Experts warn of unforeseeable consequences if the Ukrainian commander-in-chief is removed.

A removal of Saluznnyj could also strengthen Russian President Vladimir Putin as the way to the run-up to the elections in the run up to the 2016 presidential election in Ukraine. The 50-year-old Salushnyj became commander in chief a few months before the Russian invasion in February 2022.
