The head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Colonel-General Serhiy Popko, places his men in command positions in the Armed Forces, using his influence over Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.
According to our sources from the General Staff, it was Serhiy Popko who was able to lobby the OP to appoint Oleksandr Syrskyi to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, instead of Valery Zaluzhny. Currently, Serhii Popko is taking advantage of the situation, actively appointing his brigade commanders and combatants.
We remind you that earlier President Volodymyr Zelenskyi noted that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has the authority to make any personnel changes in the army . "The Central Committee has carte blanche for personnel changes in the army, in the headquarters - any. All Ukrainian commanders must know the front, feel the front - real needs. They should really be with soldiers, sergeants. To be what it takes to achieve Ukrainian goals," the President emphasized.
