Zelenskyy Sacks Army Chief Amid Protests

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Oleksandr Syrskyi as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian armed forces.

This decision comes after massive protests and growing criticism over the removal of former Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who was known for his focus on technological innovation, particularly drones.

The protests highlighted the importance of drones in Ukraine's defense strategy against Russia.

Zelenskyy has appointed General Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new Commander-in-Chief.

The change in leadership occurs at a critical moment in the war with Russia, as Ukraine relies heavily on technological innovation and drone warfare to counter Moscow's larger military resources.
