His dismissal comes just days after the removal of the popular Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov — a move that sparked street protests across the country.Initial rumors that the end of Fedorov's tenure was linked to a conflict between the two men were soon confirmed.Fedorov, 35, was widely praised for revitalizing the ministry, transforming the armed forces and leading anti-corruption efforts.Syrskyi, 60, is viewed by many in Ukraine as a commander of the Soviet school who has been reluctant to implement sweeping reforms within the military.Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Mykhailo Drapatyi, former commander of Ukraine's Joint Forces, will become the country's new commander-in-chief.Public anger toward Oleksandr Syrskyi intensified after Zelensky last week dismissed the popular reformist Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.At a press conference the day after his removal, Fedorov said that Oleksandr Syrskyi had presented Zelensky with an ultimatum.
