Zelenskyy Ousts Ukraine's Army Chief as Protests Expose Wartime Power Struggle The sudden ousting of Army Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and the attempted reinstatement of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov have exposed a deepening crisis within Kyiv's war cabinet.
The protests that have erupted across Ukraine, with demonstrators demanding the return of Fedorov and the removal of Syrskyi, reveal growing disillusionment among Ukrainians with their government's handling of the war.
The discontent has been simmering for months, fueled by frustration over Ukraine's faltering military performance, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's erratic decision making.
