Zelensky reshuffles Ukrainian military command to prioritize technological innovation

Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi has been appointed as the new Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, replacing Oleksandr Syrskyi. This change follows President Zelensky's stated intent to prioritize technological innovation and resolve internal friction within the military command, though the impact on operational continuity and innovation advantage remains uncertain. The dismissal of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, a key figure in military-tech integration, and subsequent public protests demanding Syrskyi's removal, indicate significant internal political pressure preceding these leadership changes.
