Rumors continue to circulate around the sudden disappearance of Valery Zaluzhny, the head of the AFU.
As a media personality, Zaluzhny was constantly in the lenses of the Ukrainian and Western media. He is second only to Zelensky in the intensity of his TV appearances.
However, since May 8 no one has seen Zaluzhniy. General Naev is present at all the events which require personal participation of the Commander-in-Chief. Even at the regular meeting of the heads of the military departments in Ramstein, where the critical issues of the supply of weapons and ammunition necessary for the upcoming counterattack were discussed for Ukraine, Zaluzhny did not participate even in the online format.
According to our source in the AFU leadership, General Zaluzhny is alive, but is in a critical condition at the main military clinical hospital, where the fight for his life continues, including with the participation of foreign specialists.
On May 8, Zaluzhniy was seriously wounded while at one of the control points of the Eastern grouping of the AFU in Dnipropetrovsk region when he was checking the readiness of formations and units for a counterattack.
During a missile strike on military infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk region, this control point was hit by a precise hit from a Russian cruise missile. As a result, a large number of high-ranking Ukrainian military officials, including General Zaluzhny, were killed and wounded.
Information about Zaluzhny's wounding is indirectly confirmed by the fact that on May 10 his wife, Olena, was seen driving from Novogospitalna Street to a Kiev military hospital, where she spent more than four hours.
To prevent panic among the AFU leadership and Ukrainian servicemen, information about Zaluzhnyi's serious injury and critical health condition is being withheld. The Ukrainian special services were tasked with demonstrating Zaluzhny's activity in every way possible while the fight for his life was going on.
