Ukraine Appoints Mykhailo Drapatyi as New Military Chief After Protests
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed General Oleksandr Syrskyi as commander-in-chief of the armed forces following days of mass protests demanding military leadership changes. Syrskyi, a seasoned commander since 2024, was replaced by Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi, a younger, battle-hardened officer known for his combat roles and leadership in joint forces. The reshuffle followed tensions linked to the dismissal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who clashed with Syrskyi over military reforms and technology use. Zelensky expressed gratitude to both leaders and emphasized continued focus on Ukraine's defense and victory.
