Top US Army Commander Removed Amid Ukraine Support Coordination

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense has removed Major General Charles Costanza, commander of the 5th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, from his position. Costanza was responsible for coordinating support for Ukraine and NATO forces in the eastern sector. The information was released by ABC News, citing informed sources.

Sources familiar with the matter indicated that Costanza’s dismissal occurred two months prior to the scheduled end of his service. The specific reasons behind this abrupt removal have not yet been officially disclosed.

The 5th Infantry Division, with a significant portion of its headquarters located in Poland, has served as a central hub for operational coordination of military aid to Kyiv since the commencement of the war in Ukraine.

This significant personnel change comes at a sensitive juncture in the Ukraine war, against a backdrop of escalating military tensions between Kyiv and Moscow.
