Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday he met army chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi and that the time had come for changes in the military leadership, but that Kyiv's top general should remain "on his team".
The statement follows months of speculation about a rift between Zelenskiy and Zaluzhnyi who is seen by many Ukrainians as a national hero for overseeing the war effort since February 2022.
