Zelensky Replaces Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi with Drapatyi Amidst Protests
First report 12h agoLast update 1h agoCritics argue that Zelensky's personnel changes, particularly the dismissal of Fedorov, are politically motivated and have not resolved tensions within the armed forces, with some questioning Drapatyi's suitability.
Reports confirm the leadership changes, including the dismissal of Syrskyi and Fedorov, and the appointment of Drapatyi, without expressing explicit approval or disapproval.
The appointment of Mykhailo Drapatyi is seen as a positive generational shift, bringing in a younger, reform-oriented leader crucial for Ukraine's military and institutional reform.
