Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed the former deputy defence minister Oleksandr Pavliuk as the new commander of the Land Forces, in another move to reorganize the country's armed forces.

The presidential office published a decree to this effect on Sunday.

Pavliuk succeeds Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was appointed the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces a few days ago. Zelensky also replaced several other high-ranking military officers, including in territorial defence and the airborne troops.

After almost two years of defending itself against Russia's full-scale invasion, the president dismissed Valerii Zaluzhnyi as commander-in-chief of the armed forces on Thursday. The move followed weeks of speculation about the fate of the general, who was popular with the army and the population and had been in office since July 2021.

It happens of in most all wars. Why should Ukraine be so different, particularly under the very toughest conditions they
all face. That said there appears, also as per the norm, to be at least some good reasons for Zelensky's decision:

An Australian man serving with the Ukrainian International Legion is alleging that Australians, Ukrainians and other volunteers are being put in danger and threatened with repercussions for speaking out by some incompetent Ukrainian commanders.

Key points:

* Tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers have joined the Ukrainian International Legion, including an unknown number of Australians

* An Australian whistleblower with the group alleges some incompetent Ukrainian commanders are threatening soldiers and putting them in danger

* The federal government is being urged to step up and advocate for Australians fighting in Ukraine

The former Australian soldier, who is serving with the GUR legion — the military intelligence component of the Ukrainian International Legion — has spoken in an exclusive interview with The World Today on ABC Radio.

The ABC has agreed to refer to him by the call sign "Bush" to protect his identity.

In the interview, Bush alleged some foreigners and Ukrainians have been put in danger in the war against the Russian invasion due to the leadership incompetence of some Ukrainian commanders, while others have been threatened with jail for trying to leave.

Bush said he and his comrades in Ukraine's International Legion have been raising concerns about the situation and have proposed ways to improve accountability, but that their suggestions have been ignored.

"The simple fact is that it is a meat grinder out there," the man told The World Today.
