The British newspaper Financial Times reported on the 30th that President Zelenskiy of Ukraine, which is facing a Russian invasion, is preparing to replace the commander-in-chief of the Zarzhni army. As the counteroffensive that began in June 2023 came to a standstill, dissonance arose between the two sides regarding their understanding of the situation. However, it is expected that there will be opposition to replacing Zarzhini, who is popular within the military and in public opinion, and the exact timing of his replacement has not yet been determined.
According to reports, Mr. Zelenskyy approached Mr. Zarzhiny on the 29th about being transferred to a defense-related advisor. Mr. Zarzhny refused, but Mr. Zelenskiy reportedly told him that he would replace him even if he did not accept the new position.
Some media also reported that he had been replaced, but a spokesperson for the presidential office denied it on the 29th, saying it was "not true."
In the fall of 2023, Mr. Zarzhny described the war situation as a "stalemate," but Mr. Zelenskiy objected, pointing out the rift between the two sides. [Washington Shinichi Akiyama]

[Kiiv Kyodo] Regarding the report that Ukrainian President Zelenskiy is preparing to replace the commander-in-chief of the Zarzhniy military, who is popular among the people, the electronic version of the American newspaper Washington Post on January 31st said that the number of mobilized people was behind the report. It was reported that there was a strong disagreement. This is from a person familiar with the matter.
According to the newspaper, when the two men spoke on the 29th, Zarzhini suggested that nearly 500,000 people should be mobilized this year. Zelenskiy responded that it was impractical, citing a lack of military uniforms, guns, training facilities and recruitment challenges. Mr. Zarzhiny reportedly retorted, saying, ``We have to counter the number of people that Russia is mobilizing.''
