Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, continues to perform his duties. Reports of his dismissal are untrue. It was stated in an official announcement by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook on Monday, July 20.
“Reports circulating in the media, particularly on social media and in some news outlets, regarding the alleged dismissal of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Oleksandr Syrskyi from his post are untrue. General Oleksandr Syrskyi continues to perform his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the General Staff emphasized.
Lieutenant General Andrii Hnatov, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also continues to perform his duties. Dismissal from these positions occurs by decree of the President of Ukraine.
As a reminder, some media outlets and Telegram channels have spread information claiming that Syrskyi is allegedly scheduled to be dismissed on Monday, July 20, along with Hnatov.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, officials at Bankova Street are considering the possibility of offering former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov the role of “miltech czar”: a coordinator for the development of military technologies.
