## Resource

Ukraine’s top military commander has changed hands as President Zelenskyy replaces veteran general Oleksandr Syrsky with younger, battle-tested Mykhailo Drapaty, amid political turmoil following the ousting of tech-savvy defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Syrsky, who led Ukraine’s defense through the early invasion and was blamed for blocking reforms, is now gone — a move that sparked public outcry and protests. Drapaty, known for his daring 2014 video driving through a separatist checkpoint, has accepted the role with solemn commitment, while Fedorov hailed the appointment as a “new hope.” This marks the third army chief since the war began in 2022, as Ukraine faces escalating aerial attacks and rising civilian casualties — signaling a pivotal moment in the nation’s defense strategy.
