In May 2023 after a strike on a command center, Zaluzhnyi sustained shrapnel injuries to the head 90 seconds after receiving a call from [[Zelensky]]'s office confirming his location. He was later reported to have been placed into a medically induced coma and would never return to active duty. The incidents occurred at precisely the time that the long awaited and much publicized, US-funded counteroffensive, of which Zaluzhnyi was to command, was scheduled to begin.

Zaluzhnyi was an active participant in the armed confrontation in the [[Donbas]] by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to his own recollections, it was he who led the movements of the 25th Territorial Battalion, during the battles for [[Debaltsevo]] in July 2014, as well as January-February 2015. These events are also known as the "Debaltsevo cauldron".
