Russian propagandists are spreading a fake online regarding the ex-head committee of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, that President Vladimir Zelensky allegedly ordered the SBU to keep him under heavy security.
The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security (SPRAVDI) writes about this . They note that the information published by the Russians does not correspond to reality.
— This fake propaganda has already been spread in 2023. Then they wrote that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny and the commander of the Ground Forces Syrsky were arrested for their alleged disagreement with the position of President Zelensky, — the message says.
In fact, Zaluzhny was appointed Ambassador of Ukraine to Great Britain.

— In fact, no one took Zaluzhny under arrest, but after his dismissal from the post of commander in chief on February 8, 2024, he was appointed ambassador to the UK. On March 7, the President of Ukraine approved his candidacy, — writes SPRAVDI.
It is noted that such a fake is nothing more than an attempt to fuel the narrative about the “conflict between Zelensky and Zaluzhny”.
