Volodymyr Zelensky fires two top generals and warns all 'traitors' will be punished

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has taken decisive action and fired two top security officials who he claimed were “traitors”. In an early morning address, the Ukrainian President announced he had sacked the chief of Main Department of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Naumov Andriy Olehovych.

Mr Zelensky also removed the head of the SBU in Kherson Kryvoruchko Serhiy Oleksandrovych, stripping the pair of their titles and labelling them “antiheroes”.

The President accused the two top officials of failing in their duty to protect Ukraine’s “freedom and independence” but did not provide any further detail. “Now I do not have time to deal with all the traitors but gradually they will all be punished,” Mr Zelensky said in a live address on social media.

The defiant President then issued a broader warning that officers who have “not decided where their homeland is” and have violated Ukraine’s oath of allegiance, will “inevitably be deprived of senior military ranks”.

CNN helped get us into a war once.

And, the "Hill" is not known for their objective posture.

Hey, but maybe their correct.

Still, I'll wait and see.
