The Kremlin said that Ukraine's appointment of a new commander-in-chief would not lead to any changes in the near two-year conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.
"We don't think it's a factor that will change the course of the special military operation. It will continue until the goals have been achieved," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday, using Russia's preferred term for its military offensive.
