"As of today, nothing gives me any opportunity to even think about it. Because the situation, unfortunately, is developing the way it is. The war will end, martial law in Ukraine will end… And, by the way, it will end only when the country’s reconstruction is finished — then we will talk about it", - said the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United Kingdom, former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi, during a speech at Chatham House in London on the eve of the anniversary of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
As Interfax-Ukraine writes, he also called it "very bad when issues of Ukraine’s domestic politics reach the level of international discussion" and emphasized that "this should be taboo".
As reported, in February former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi, in an interview with the Associated Press, said that tensions between him and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky arose shortly after the start of the full-scale russian invasion due to disagreements over "how best to defend Ukraine".
