Russia-Ukraine war live news: Zelenskyy fires military recruitment chiefs
‘We are dismissing all regional military commissars’: Zelenskyy
“We are dismissing all regional military commissars,” Zelenskyy said in a post on social media, following a meeting with his senior military leadership. “This system should be run by people who know exactly what war is and why cynicism and bribery at a time of war is high treason,” he added.
“During the inspection of the territorial recruitment centres, law enforcement agencies exposed cases of corruption,” the presidency said in a separate statement. It said Ukraine’s general mobilisation was a key area in which inspectors had uncovered instances of foul play.
- These “pose a threat to Ukraine’s national security and undermine confidence in state institutions,” the statement said.
- It added that Ukraine’s security council recommended that the head of the army select replacements who have battlefield experience and were vetted by Ukraine’s intelligence services.

1:47pm: Ukraine to fire all regional military recruitment chiefs, says Zelensky
"This system should be run by people who know exactly what war is and why cynicism and bribery during war is treason," he said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
Zelensky said top general Valery Zaluzhny would be responsible for implementing the decision and that new candidates for the posts would first be vetted by Ukraine’s domestic security service.
Ukraine has faced recruitment challenges as the war with Russia nears the 18-month mark and the military is occasionally hit by scandals revealing graft or heavy-handed recruitment tactics.
