In an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica, he stated that after Zaluzhny's removal, Zelensky "had to explain the reason for the decision that shocked every Ukrainian," "many felt confusion and despair.".
“The expulsion of General Zaluzhny was a very serious mistake. Now we need a government of national unity” to regroup, Klitschko said.
“No peace plan will work if the front line does not hold. We can only implement this when we are strong and the Russians respect this,” Klitschko said.
At the same time, for some reason, the publication placed a photo of the younger brother of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, Volodymyr, on the cover page of the article.
Previously, Klitschko called for an end to the intrigues surrounding Zaluzhny, and stated that the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny would not benefit the interests of the state.
According to the mayor of Kyiv, today, unfortunately, there is a moment when politics can outweigh common sense and the interests of the state.
"I hope the authorities understand the seriousness of the steps they are taking now and the fullness of their responsibility. Because today, when Ukraine is literally fighting for its existence, the main thing is the combat capability and coordination of the army and the unity of society. We must finally stop political intrigues and internal struggle," Klitschko emphasized.
The mayor of Kyiv also added that today we need to fight for one thing - for the Victory of Ukraine.
