@cnn: President Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision Tuesday to replace Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, 60-year-old Oleksandr Syrskyi with 43-year-old Mykhailo Drapatyi, comes in the wake of widespread protests after Zelensky fired his 35-year-old defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov. CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh lays out how even with the shakeups - bringing in a younger general from a newer generation of military leaders to replace a Soviet-era one - the same big challenges remain.
we are extremely happy about this choice. Mykhailo is very experienced commander and the entire army trusts and believes in him.

I think Zelensky is the genius here😳 he’s dealing with a lot of internal problems, but he’s letting the people make the choice🥰

If you want to win a war today you need to think about tomorrow. And Ukraine needs to save as many men as possible. And the drones and strikes are a great way to do that.

Zelensky must return Defense Minister Fedorov! This is the first demand of protesters. Fedorov in his post was effective and opposed corruption. Therefore, his dismissal by Zelensky makes one wonder about the role of Zelensky himself in the corruption flow
