Who is the 43-year-old warrior at the head of the Ukrainian army?

The article discusses the appointment of General Mykhailo Drapati as the new chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, replacing General Oleksandr Sirskyi after mass protests in Kyiv and other cities. The protests were driven by demands for Sirskyi’s removal and the return of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who was seen as a leader of military modernization efforts. Critics viewed Sirskyi as representing outdated Soviet-era command practices, while Fedorov symbolized a more technology-driven approach to warfare. Drapati, a 43-year-old officer known for his discipline and effectiveness, has spent most of his career on the front lines, gaining respect among troops and civilians alike. His appointment is seen as an attempt by President Zelensky to quell the unrest following Fedorov’s departure. Drapati publicly supported Fedorov and expressed gratitude to Sirskyi for his service.
