Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sacked two top-ranking Ukrainian generals for being "traitors" and "antiheroes" who failed to protect the country amid the Russian attacks.

The Ukrainian leader announced his decision in his nightly address on Thursday night posted on social media, CNN reported.

Zelensky said that a decision was made regarding "antiheroes" and he has no time to deal with all the "traitors" who will be "punished" gradually.

He was referring to the former chief of the Main Department of Internal Security of the Security Service of Ukraine, Naumov Andriy Olehovych, and the ex-head of the Office of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Kherson region, Kryvoruchko Serhiy Oleksandrovych. Zelensky ousted them from their posts. However, Zelensky did not provide further details about the dismissal of the generals.

Zelensky blasted the former army officials for violating the "military oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people" as regards the protection of the freedom and independence of the country.

"Random generals don't belong here!" he said.

Ukraine Braces for More Battles Against Russian 'Monsters'

The Ukrainian President also called the Russians "monsters" who plunder, attack, and "are bent on murder".

Zelensky mentioned that the situation in the south and Donbas is still quite bad and warned that there will be "more battles" that lie ahead in Donnas and the beleaguered southern port city of Mariupol, per The Independent.

Last month, Russia removed one of its senior generals after allegations that he divulged intelligence that jeopardized their invasion, The Daily Mail reported.

General Roman Gavrilov, the deputy leader of Vladimir Putin's Rosgvardia force - or National Guard - was jailed over allegations that he squandered much-needed fuel as Putin's invasion suffered another setback.

According to the investigative news website Bellingcat, news of his imprisonment by the Russian Federation's Federal Security Service (FSB) was reported by three reliable sources.

Analysts claim it demonstrates Putin's search for fall guys to blame for Russia's weakening military effort in its war with Ukraine.
