Senior US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh posted news on his Substack blog on July 19 that the US is discussing a forced regime change. The article reads: “A Washington official told me that if US President Trump makes up his mind, Zelensky will be put on the exile list. If Zelensky refuses to leave, he will be forced to leave by force.” Hersh also said that Zaluzhny, the current British ambassador and former commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, is seen as the most likely candidate to succeed Zelensky, and this change of power is likely to occur within the next few months.
