President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that generals who entered politics made a mistake and can no longer be involved in the war. He said this in an interview with The Sun tabloid.

When asked about his relationship with the commanders, Zelensky said that the generals who went into politics made a mistake.

"Different political forces are pushing the military into politics. It was after 2014, when every political party wanted to have military men, war stars, in their ranks. I think it was a very big mistake," the President said.

According to him, if a military man decides to go into politics, he has the right to do so, but he can no longer be involved in war. 

"If a military man decides to go into politics, it is his right, then he should go into politics, and then he has no time for war. If you lead the war, meaning that tomorrow you will be engaged in politics or elections, then in your words and on the front line you behave like a politician, not a military man, and I believe this is a huge mistake," Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The President warned that soldiers' disobedience to their generals threatens the unity of Ukraine.

"With all due respect to General Zaluzhnyi and all the commanders on the battlefield, there must be an understanding of the hierarchy. By law and during the war, this is not even discussed. This does not lead to the unity of the nation," Zelensky added.
