General, Envoy... Future President? - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s former army chief and current ambassador in London is at the center of mounting political intrigue. Once hailed as the general who stopped Russia in its tracks, he is now seen as the only figure who could one day rival President Zelenskyy. Courted by oligarchs, activists, and even Trump’s allies, Zaluzhnyi has so far refused to step out of line – but rumors of a presidential bid persist. In London, he plays the role of envoy, while in Kyiv, he looms as a political alternative-in-waiting. In this episode, Eastern Express examines the general’s waiting game and what it means for Ukraine’s future.
