MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address that he had appointed Oleksand Syrsky, who was serving as the head of Ukraine's ground forces, as the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
The resignation of Ukraine Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny and the appointment of Oleksandr Syrsky will not change the course of Russia's special operation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"We do not consider these factors to change the course of the special operation," Peskov told a briefing.
Russia will continue its actions until it reaches all goals, the spokesman added.
