      Something must be happening around Zelensky. He is throwing decoys everywhere to stir up drama

      First he causes major drama with the UPA unit. Then he fires the MoD because of the conflict with Syrsky, just to fire Syrsky couple days later. Syrsky should have been sacked months ago because of the Skala detachment.

      Did NABU find something? Wouldnt be suprised if Jermak and the other bunch tried to make some money on the side again.

      Zelensky’s job is to ensure the population’s support for the armed forces.

      Really good that Zelensky is listening to the people, but really, this last year the political landscape of Ukraine looks extremely tired. The dismantling of NABU’s independence that had to be backtracked, the corruption cases, all the UPA controversy and now this backtracking of a bad decision again. It’s good that they are now hitting Russia deep where it hurts because the internal damages of the war are apparent.

      I don’t think this was the right choice if this change happened because of the protesters on the streets as they aren’t on the front lines. However, I think it’s the absolute right choice if the they did some sort of audit inside the military and found out that they want him replaced.

      Zelenskyy is smart guy – he had public meetings with a bunch of the top brass in the military and took all their input and then made a decision. That’s what a smart leader does. Not sure why people keep talking about him being a bad leader

      Good to see that the people of Ukraine are not afraid of protesting during the war. The government is completely reliant on the people’s support, now more than ever, so this is a great opportunity.

      I do think that this does show, together with the other (corruption) controversies, that Zelenskyy is definitely not a perfect leader overall. I’m very curious to see how the political landscape will change after the war, if at all.

      They’re putting this down to the protests, which may indeed have been a factor, but imo there’s likely another reason for it as well. Zelensky is really in love with his image as a man of action. In the west he won admiration for his “*I need ammo, not a ride*” slogan. But there is a downside to that – *he HATES playing defense*. For all the celebration of Ukraine’s long range strikes on Russia, they are still defending. There isn’t even any talk anymore of grand counteroffensive like there was in 2022 and 23. He fired the man who saved Ukraine from the initial invasion, Zaluzhnyi, cos he played too cautiously for Zelensky’s liking. Replaced him with Syrski who sold him on the idea of the Kursk counterattack, which turned into a disaster. Now after that boondoggle, Syrski has also had to switch to playing defense, and Zelensky has had to push for long range strikes to console his desire to hit back. Evidently he isn’t satisfied with that. *Zelensky really really wants to be the David to Russia’s Goliath, to not just survive this war but win it* – not ‘*win*’ as per western media reports, but actually win militarily on the ground. Despite multiple generals having had to accept the reality that that just isn’t very realistic. Even Zaluzhnyi himself, the man who saved Ukraine, has criticized the hype drama that western media is engaging in – [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/08/ukraine-ambassador-do-not-assume-russia-has-lost-war/](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/08/ukraine-ambassador-do-not-assume-russia-has-lost-war/)

      Zelensky makes mistakes sometimes, but I like that he’s not systematically unwilling to correct them.

      I think that unity of the Ukrainian people, and them trusting their armed forces, is unbelievably important right now. We don’t know all of the stuff that these people discuss behind closed doors, we only get to see some of it. There’s certainly rivalries, corruption, otherwise incompetent people, and whatnot. It’s politics, it’s guaranteed to be a shitstorm. Who said what between the generals, the ministers, Zelensky, and all the other politicians involved in helping Ukraine is probably never going to be made public.

      If Ukraine keeps kicking ass in the future, IMO it’s good enough.

      As a person in the military, this is probably the biggest relief for us. A lot of corrupt and incompetent generals are leaving with him and some notorious assault regiments (like 225th or 425th) might finally stop cosplaying PMC Wagner and start treating human lives properly.

      Plus his substitute is way more respected among the military and he’s willing to implement digital solutions and fight corruption, especially in the drone purchases. I really hope that one day we will finally stop being a “small soviet army” being full of outdated (and sometimes stupid) norms. If we don’t improve, if we don’t change ourselves, it would be impossible to win the enemy who can afford to utilize way more resources than us.

      You have no idea how important today’s event is.

      Drapatyi is a Hero of Ukraine and one of the symbols of Ukrainian resistance. He was the one who first faced the battle for Mariupol in 2014 (that famous BMP-2 breakthrough video). In 2022, he commanded the Kryvyi Rih operational group, playing a key role in halting the Russian advance in southern Ukraine and contributing to the liberation of the western bank of the Kherson region. In 2024, he led the Kharkiv operational group, helping stabilize the front during Russia’s renewed offensive in the north of Kharkiv Oblast.

      His military career is defined by repeatedly taking responsibility and leading in the most difficult moments of the war.

      Holy fuck I can’t believe this day has come. Fucking finally.

    16. Dotcaprachiappa on

      So if the main reason for firing Fedorov was his disagreement with Syrsky wouldn’t the next reasonable step to rehire Fedorov? Do we have any hope of that? Or is the damage done already?

    17. lixxxx on

      I feel like Ukraine has to have the best protest success rate in the world.

    18. Mogwai_Man on

      I think he wants aggressive generals because at the end of all this, Ukraine still has to retake the Donbas.

    19. yaderkuvboloto on

      I was pissed at Fedorov’s removal of course, it looked like Zelensky’s biggest mistake ever (although it’s probably not that simple, it seems that Federov angered a lot of people, not just Syrskyi. Even if Fedorov was right, it’s hard to progress in such a scenario.)

      But.. you also gotta admit, there are very few leaders on this entire planet who would do exactly what peaceful protesters requested after just a few days. Drapatyi is who the people, the army (and Fedorov) wanted. And we got him.

      They’ve achieved good success with drones hitting oil infrastructure but that isnt something that really changes the front lines.

    21. Socmel_ on

      Now imagine what it would take for shithole ruZZia to do anything remotely similar.

    22. Lapkonium on

      Sacked the MoD head and now the Chief?

      I guess things are not going too well.
