Ukraine overhauls its military top brass for fight against Russia
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy named Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new army chief, replacing Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Zelenskyy dismissed Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi amid nationwide anger over the removal of defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
Mykhailo Drapatyi, a 43-year-old wartime commander, sided publicly with Fedorov during protests demanding Syrskyi's removal.
The shakeup signals a shift toward reform-minded leaders as Ukraine seeks to build on recent momentum in its fifth year of war against Russia.
Zelenskyy offered Fedorov a position to develop Ukraine's military technology, though Fedorov did not comment on the offer.
