Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is cleaning house.
In a series of dismissals this week, the president of Ukraine has fired his intelligence chief, the chief of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), Ivan Bakanov, and his Prosecutor General, Iryna Venedikotva, over concerns they represented pro-Russia elements of Ukraine’s security services, even as the rest of the country works to fend of Russian forces in the war.
A majority of MPs approved Zelensky’s vote of no-confidence for Bakanov and Venedikotva Tuesday, according to the BBC.
