Zaluzhniy wouldn’t have signed off without extensive consultation with the US, UK, NATO, and EU.
Clearly they support a change at the top after over a year of few territorial gains for either side.
Could we see more aggressive tactics now? Including within Russian territory?

His role is less important than we (well civilians) would like to think.
The replacement of the top will barely affect what’s currently in place. Commanders and systems of operating are established, to which he is already accustomed and part of.
If this would have happened end of 2022, then concern would be justified. But now, at this point, it is more administrative than consequential.

This was nice of Zelensky. I'm guessing some really hard choices and directives are about to be sent out, and Zaluzhny would not want to do it/would be cursed out by others if he did do it. This preserves Zaluzhny and his name. Syrskyi has a rep, so going through him will fit.
