Mykhailo Drapatyi: Can new Ukraine army chief alter Russia war’s direction?

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Colonel Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new head of the Ukrainian armed forces, replacing General Oleksandr Syrskii. Drapatyi gained fame during the 2014 conflict in eastern Ukraine for leading a daring armored vehicle charge through a pro-Russian separatist barricade in Mariupol, which became a viral moment in Ukraine. Since then, he has risen through the ranks and is seen as a more modern leader compared to Syrskii, who was known for his strict, Soviet-style command approach. Drapatyi is favored for his Western-style military strategies, which emphasize mobility and technology over large-scale troop movements, and for his reputation of caring for his soldiers. His appointment comes amid ongoing intense fighting with Russia.
