Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed Mykola Oleshuk from his post as commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Oku.Az reports that this was reported on the website of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky later commented on Oleschuk’s dismissal.
“I have decided to replace the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I am eternally grateful to all our military pilots, engineers, soldiers of mobile fire groups and air defense personnel. This is also necessary at the command level. We must strengthen and take care of the people,” Zelensky stressed.
It should be noted that the dismissal of the headquarters commander occurred against the background of the crash of the Ukrainian F-16 fighter on August 26.
Anatoliy Krivonohko will temporarily serve as Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
