The source said the frictions between Zelenskiy and Zaluzhnyi over mobilization involved the president's view that the military has enough personnel that could be used more efficiently.
"Zaluzhnyi insists on mobilising half a million men. Zelenskiy thinks that’s not necessary now," the source said.
Zaluzhnyi on Thursday published a column on the CNN website in which he wrote that the government had failed to mobilize enough troops.
Known as "the Iron General," Zaluzhnyi is extremely popular. His removal could hurt morale among Ukrainian troops battling to hold positions along more than 620 miles (1,000 km) of frontlines against a vast Russian force armed with large munitions stockpiles.
