KYIV, Ukraine – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signaled Wednesday that he is getting tough on officials he suspects are shirking their duties in the war with Russia that is now in its third year.
He added that back in Kyiv he would speak to “officials who must be here and in other areas near the front line – in difficult communities where people need immediate solutions.”
Zelenskyy has frequently visited front-line areas during the war.
His said his trip to the Donetsk region was to introduce the new commander of the Joint Forces Command, Andrii Hnatov.
Hnatov replaced Yurii Sodol, who had held the position since February 2023.
Several Ukrainian media outlets, quoting unidentified sources in the armed forces, said he was referring to Sodol.
Ahead of Zelenskyy´s visit, Russian forces dropped a powerful glide bomb on the Donetsk city of Selydove, causing extensive damage to 37 homes, six multi-story buildings and administrative infrastructure, regional authorities said Wednesday. They reported no injuries.
Over the previous 24 hours, the Russian military shelled 20 Donetsk region settlements, killing one person and injuring at least nine, regional head Vadym Filashkin said.
About 250 people have been evacuated from their homes in the Donetsk region since Tuesday, officials said.
