**Ukraine’s Former Commander-In-Chief Releases Autobiographical Book**
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK, has released a book titled “My War”. The first part of a planned trilogy, it covers his life from childhood until the outbreak of the full-scale war. Zaluzhnyi started writing the book in March 2023.
In an interview, Zaluzhnyi said that the book is about three wars: the war with his own fears, the war with people who prevent him from achieving his goals, and the war against circumstances that become obstacles in life. He wants young readers to know that everything is possible if they really want it.
**High Approval Ratings**
Zaluzhnyi is widely popular in Ukraine, with 70.9% of respondents trusting him, according to a recent survey by the Future Research Foundation. This puts him ahead of Ukraine’s military intelligence chief and President Volodymyr Zelensky.
**Trilogy Planned**
The other two books in the trilogy will be called “Our War” and “Their War”. The dates for their release are not yet known. Sources claim that this does not mark the start of the ex-commander’s political career.
