Ukrainian army chief of staff is to be dismissed. The decision was made on Monday.
The general will remain in place while waiting for a successor. The announcement was made during a meeting with the president of the Ukrainian army, Petro Poroshenko. The Ukrainian army has been involved in a series of military incidents in recent months. The Russian military has been accused of sending troops into Ukraine in violation of the Vienna Convention on the Rights of the Dog. The U.S. government has accused Russia of using its troops in Ukraine as a tool for political gain.
