Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday fired a senior military commander helping lead the fight against Russian troops in the country's embattled east but gave no reason for the move. In a one-line decree, Zelensky announced the dismissal of Eduard Moskalyov as commander of the Joint Forces of Ukraine, which are engaged in battles in the Donbas region.

The Joint Forces of Ukraine were established in 2014 as a response to Russia's seizure of the Crimea Peninsula and has been a significant part of the Ukrainian forces fighting against Russia in the war that began a year ago with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Zelensky mentioned Moskalyov in a daily address on Friday when listing the military commanders he had spoken to. Moskalyov had been in the post since March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.
