Zelensky replaces Ukraine's top general in major shakeup

Short article. This shakeup was rumored for weeks. The list of reasons at the site doesn't include the fact that Zaluzhny has been blamed for the failure of the spring/summer offensive and the hoarding of ammo that is needed at the front in warehouses across the country.
