Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sacked army chief Oleksandr Syrsky after days of protests.
Syrsky had served as army chief since 2024 and led the defense of Kyiv in 2022.
Zelensky appointed joint forces commander Mykhailo Drapaty as Syrsky's replacement.
Syrsky's removal followed the ousting of defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who accused Syrsky of blocking his reforms.
Drapaty is a decorated major general who previously commanded Ukraine's ground army.
