Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Thursday that he has fired two of his top generals, accusing them of being “antiheroes” and “traitors.”
The two generals stripped of their ranks are Naumov Andriy Olehovych, former chief of the Main Department of Internal Security of the Security Service of Ukraine, and Kryvoruchko Serhiy Oleksandrovych, the former chief of the Office of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Kherson region.
“Today, another decision was made regarding antiheroes. Now, I do not have time to deal with all the traitors. But gradually they will all be punished,” Zelensky said in his nightly address on Thursday.
The Ukrainian president warned that any other military officers caught violating their oath to the country will be punished.

“Those servicemen among senior officers who have not decided where their homeland is, who violate the military oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people as regards (to) the protection of our state, its freedom and independence, will inevitably be deprived of senior military ranks,” Zelensky said. “Random generals don’t belong here!”
