The head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Colonel General Serhiy Popko, is placing his people in command positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using his influence on Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky.
According to our sources from the General Staff, it was Serhiy Popko who was able to lobby the General Staff to appoint Oleksandr Syrsky to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, instead of Valeriy Zaluzhny. Currently, Serhiy Popko is taking advantage of the situation by actively appointing his brigade commanders and battalion commanders to the positions.
We remind you that earlier President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, has the authority to make any personnel changes in the army . “The Commander-in-Chief 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 must really be with the soldiers, sergeants. Be the ones who are needed to achieve Ukrainian goals,” the President emphasized.
