Ukraine War
Amid an ongoing war, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has fired two top Kyiv officials on grounds of high treason. Ukraine Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova and State Security Service (SBU) head, Ivan Bakanov were dismissed on July 17. Analysts say the moves are designed to strengthen Zelensky’s control over the army and security agencies. Some experts say Zelensky’s moves are also driven by NATO and EU pressure to improve political and legal systems. Ukraine purge part of internal politics or EU, NATO push? Zelensky’s purge a boost or setback to Kyiv? #russiaukrainewar #zelensky #ukraine #russia #vladimirputin
