John Kirby, White House National Security Council Coordinator, has commented on Volodymyr Zelenskyy's decision to change the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at a briefing on 8 February, APA reports citing European Pravda.
The White House representative emphasised that Zelenskyy is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of his Armed Forces, and "he gets to decide who his leadership is going to be in the military."
"That’s what civilian control is all about. We know that. And we’ll work with whoever he has in charge of his military. We’ll continue to work with our Ukrainian counterparts," Kirby added.
