Kremlin does not consider the change in the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian forces to be decisive for the continuation of the conflict. “We do not believe that these are factors that can change the course of the special military operation.

This will continue until the objectives are achieved,” Dmitri Peskov told the press during his daily briefing. On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the dismissal of Valery Zalouzhny, commander of Ukrainian forces since July 2021.
