Zelenskyy Replaces Ukraine Military Chief Amid Protests Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a significant move in his presidency by replacing Ukraine's military chief Oleksandr Syrskii with Mykhailo Drapatyi, amidst widespread protests sparked by the removal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
The decision to appoint Drapatyi is seen as an attempt to revitalize Ukraine's war effort against Russia.
The protests were not solely about Fedorov's ousting but also reflected growing discontent with Syrskii and other military leaders over their handling of the conflict.
