On Friday, Ukraine's army chief warned that the country must prepare itself for another year of significant casualties as the war with Russia nears its two-year mark later this month.

Valery Zaluzhny's comments came during talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had earlier told him that he would be sacked from his post, the Washington Post reported citing unnamed Ukrainian officials.

Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko on Monday announced, as per informed sources, that Zaluzhny was told to resign, although no official decree has been issued yet.

Goncharenko added that Ukraine's top officer "was offered a position of ambassador to one of the European countries. He refused."

However, Ukraine's Defense Ministry denied the reports.

Tensions grew between Zelensky and Zaluzhny after the latter informed him that the field situation is at a "stalemate," a description that was strongly rejected by the president, The Economist reported.
