According to the hacker known as 'DPR Joker', who pro Russian Telegram types claim has a decent record of reliability, Valery Zaluzhny is in hospital in Kiev. He will not be coordinating any counteroffensive just now. DPR joker wrote:
Now he hasn't been seen since early May, and Ukraine has not offered evidence to the contrary other than some photos from a wedding (which supposedly did not take place recently). It seems quite plausible to me that he was injured near Bakhmut and that nobody wants to announce the bad news.
There's also this on Slavyangrad
Tired of looking at fakes with old photos supposedly from Cyprus at an expensive resort during the preparation of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to my spies, General Zaluzhny was seriously wounded in early May during a missile attack on the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pavlograd, Dnepropetrovsk region. Several severe surgical operations were carried out after which, if he survives, he will definitely not be able to adequately manage the army. The Western masters forbade the Ukrainian clowns to talk about this, so that it would not affect the morale of the Ukrainian soldiers before the offensive, because he enjoys undeniable authority and love among soldiers and officers. Everyone understands that without him there is no chance of success for the Ukrainian army at all, and any offensive will be a mass suicide.
I’m just very worried and I want to warn the Ukrainian soldiers that if you have to quickly change something in the offensive operation, then it will be done by some kind of Clown, or, even worse, Zelensky the clown. But everything is fine, Zaluzhny, as a military commander can be written off.

Information about Zaluzhny being seriously injured during a missile attack by the Russian Armed Forces on one of the command posts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dnepropetrovsk region is indirectly confirmed by a post on the personal Facebook page of one of the employees of the Ukrainian National Military Medical Clinical Center.
On May 8, Alina Slobodyanyuk published information about the admission to a Kiev hospital of a large number of wounded, one of whom, according to her, "very important", was in critical condition.
