BREAKING Zelenski l-a demis pe șeful armatei Oleksandr Sîrski după protestele de amploare provocate de demiterea popularului ministru Mihailo Fedorov

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed General Oleksandr Syrski as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces amid public protests demanding his removal. The unrest followed the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who had clashed with Syrski over military modernization strategies. Fedorov's removal sparked widespread protests, with citizens accusing the government of sacrificing modern reforms for outdated military views. Syrski, who took command in February 2024, was previously credited with significant military successes but faced criticism for rigid tactics and high casualties. The Ukrainian leadership is expected to announce a new commander soon.
