Zaluzhnyi's interview with the Associated Press
As a reminder, the former Commander-in-Chief of the AFU and current Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, gave an interview to the Associated Press, in which he spoke for the first time about the SSU search at the command post in 2022, political ambitions, and disagreements with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, specifically regarding the counteroffensive.
According to Zaluzhnyi, the 2023 counteroffensive failed because Zelenskyy and officials did not allocate resources.
