The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, decided against attending a high-profile NATO meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, APA reports citing Press United.
Rob Bauer, chairman of the bloc’s military committee, referred to the general’s absence in his opening remarks at the gathering of NATO defense chiefs. He said he had received a letter from “our friend” Zaluzhny on Tuesday, explaining that it was “impossible” for him to participate either in person or via video link.
The reason for Zaluzhny’s decision was the “complex operational situation” in Ukraine, the NATO official explained.
