Zhelezniak’s inside information
"My sources are saying the same thing. I do not yet have final confirmation, particularly regarding who will replace him. The names mentioned were Biletskyi, Drapatyi, Apostol, Obolienskyi and Horbatiuk. For now (and these are only rumours), Apostol appears to have the best chance. We will find out soon," he clarified.
He also reported that a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today.
"So the news will likely come around that time," the MP said.
Background
