 Rumors of Zalozny have a very negative impact on the morale of the Ukrainian army. False rumors circulated about the supposed resignation of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zalozny, according to a statement by Mikhailo Zirokov on RadioNV. It's very difficult to say anything specifically, but I will say one thing. It was not a fabrication from below, and this is not a work of PSYOP. Neither Russian nor ours, Zirokov said it was a fabrication if it was a fake from the very top. However, highly placed sources personally told him that this information does not have a certain basis. It is difficult to know precisely what is going on behind closed doors among the country's military and political leadership, but Zirokov notes that this controversy will almost certainly affect the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This will have a very, very negative impact on the morale of the army, he said. And in times of war, engaging in such activities is at the very least wrong, due to the risk of reaching a critical point of demoralization. On January the 29th, a number of Ukrainian media outlets, citing their own sources, reported Zalozny's resignation. A source in the National Security and Defence Council speaking to publication Ukranska Pravda, claimed that Zalozny was invited and offered an ambassadorial position, but refused. The Ministry of Defence, responding to rumours that Zalozny and Defence Minister Rustam Umarov had been fired, simply stated that this is not true. The rumours that President Volodymyr Zelensky had resigned Zalozny were also denied by the President's press secretary, Serhii Nikiforov, the President's office allegedly planned to change the entire line of leaders of the Security and Defence Forces. The post of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces may have been offered to the head of the Intelligence Service, Kirill Obudonov.
