The President accused the two top officials of failing in their duty to protect Ukraine’s “freedom and independence” but did not provide any further detail.

“Now I do not have time to deal with all the traitors but gradually they will all be punished,” Mr Zelensky said in a live address on social media.

The defiant President then issued a broader warning that officers who have “not decided where their homeland is” and have violated Ukraine’s oath of allegiance, will “inevitably be deprived of senior military ranks”.

“Random generals don’t belong here,” he continued.

Mr Zelensky also thanked the Australian Parliament following his address on Thursday night and said he “felt total support”.
