Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday sacked Major General Eduard Mikhailovich Moskalov, commander of the Joint Force. Moskalov was appointed commander of the Joint Force in March last year, replacing Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlik. Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlik was made head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.

 

However, the reason for the sacking of Major General Eduard Mikhailovich Moskalov has not been disclosed yet. Let us tell you that in recent times, the government of Ukraine has made many major changes at the administrative level. In the past, the government of Ukraine had conducted anti-corruption raids across the country. After this many top officials were removed from the post. However, it is not yet clear whether Moskalov was sacked due to corruption or for some other reason.

 

At the same time, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhad Al Saud visited Ukraine for the first time amid the ongoing war with Russia. During his visit, Saudi Arabia also announced financial assistance of US$ 400 million to Ukraine. Of this, $100 million will be given for humanitarian aid and $300 million in economic aid has been given for oil products. The Government of Ukraine has thanked the Government of Saudi Arabia for the financial help.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed China's peace offer amid its ongoing war with Russia but said he would accept the offer only if Putin withdrew all its troops from occupied Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian President also said that he believes that China has made this offer for peace and he hopes that China is not even supplying Russia with weapons.
