Zelensky sacks Ukraine’s military chief following widespread protests

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the country's military chief, following protests triggered by the removal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Syrskyi, a veteran officer with ties to Russia's past, faced criticism for his leadership style and decisions during the war. His successor, Mykhailo Drapatyi, is seen as a more modern military leader with experience from earlier stages of the conflict. The dismissal of Fedorov, known for promoting advanced military technologies like drones, sparked controversy within the defense establishment. Zelensky praised Syrskyi for defending Kyiv and acknowledged his contributions to Ukraine's military strength while offering Fedorov a potential role in government.
