@ItsTheEnforcer Firing someone who was doing a fantastic job and had approval from the civil society for no reason is kinda weird, Zelensky isn’t a dictator that can rule the country how he likes, he was elected to serve the people and he is doing it by listening to them.

@nexta_tv This is a disgrace from the Greece fans, I hope the polish and Ukrainian fans waited outside the stadium and kindly told them that.

Fedorov’s reaction (i.e. saying no to any offer but the position of the defense minister) is more than understandable.

A deputy PM post for military technology that Zelensky’s offering him might sound sexy, but in reality it’s nothing more than a figurehead role with no authority and no budgets, whose sole function would be to sit tight, put on a show of vigorous reformist activity, and stay out of the way of the respectable people making money off the war’s state procurement.

Some other official would be thrilled to land such a cushy, no-hassle post.

But not someone who actually wants to change the situation and lead Ukraine to victory in the war.

So Zelensky will have to swallow his made-up pride here too and stop listening to his buddies. Because everyone wants Fedorov back, from the new top military command to civil society, and he’ll have to fully correct this incompetent mistake of his.

@Panchenko_X He said nothing about Russians, you are just spreading misinformation, and maybe that is what you wish to happen to the Russians yourself🤷‍♂️

@BowesChay Russia been doing it since 2022 didn’t hear anything about war crimes…..

The situation surrounding the dismissal of General Syrsky should not be oversimplified as "some young hipsters went out into the center of Kyiv with cardboard signs and think they can just pick and change the commander-in-chief in wartime, what nonsense."

No, it's far from that simple, and this crisis did not come together a week ago.

Tension in the military and in society had been building for years. For years, indignation had been accumulating over numerous vicious practices in the army -- over rampant cronyism, despotism of command, chronic impunity, intrigues, the blocking of reforms and the advancement of young talented combat commanders, discontent over the thoughtless expenditure of soldiers' lives in senseless meat grinder assaults in the Russian style.

For not just one year, discontent had been building around abuses and cases of criminal violence connected with mobilization, and around attempts by Syrsky to create his own personal penal army, in the style of Russia's Wagner made up of loyal blockheads.

The intrigue surrounding the dismissal of Defense Minister Fedorov turned out to be merely the last straw.

And for years now, General Mykhailo Drapaty -- a highly respected combat officer in the military and a talented commander -- has been the man society has marked as a very promising next head of the armed forces, while the old generals' guard within the vicious army system put obstacles in his path and systematically undermined his advancement.

And most importantly, the overthrow of Syrsky and the support for Drapaty and Fedorov is not the decision of some bored hipsters in Kyiv coffee shops.

First and foremost, this is the initiative of people of the war: active-duty servicemen, veterans, heads of military charitable foundations, who are not afraid to break the silence, go public, and speak out, since they have earned, through their valor at war, enormous public attention and trust in every word they say.

Ukraine's active civil society listens first and foremost to their opinion.

I want to draw attention to the fact that the new "cardboard Maidan" around Syrsky is the initiative of combat veteran @deemasseek of Da Vinci Wolves whose call was answered by tens of thousands of young people across the country, and this led to the victory of common sense over suicidal tyranny.

@joni_askola He was involved in some corruption scandal where he had to donate money to the army while the government went easy on him, he is in London because he screwed up and should just stay away from politics.

Ukrainian soldiers are striking Russian forces while calling for Mykhailo Fedorov to be reinstated as Ukraine’s Minister of Defense.

@MichaelLokesson These warehouses are strategically important for the Russian army and society, losing these will deal them a great damage, these long strikes will continue and it will be difficult for the army to transport the soldiers to the front as Ukrainians drones will be in the air.

@nexta_tv We are so cooked, it’s only a matter of time when an AI gets free.

@Madridpulse0 @realmadrid Sorry, tchouameni is center back.

[🇪🇺Falcon🇪🇺 @EmprorFalcon]

@miriam_cates It is outrageous when those criminals they released actually raped and murdered innocent people, the fact that they can joke about that just shows how unfit they are for the job and they insulted the victims and their loved ones who are forced to see this inhumane behavior.

Watch closely how power changed hands in Kyiv last night, because the choreography is the story.

The president publicly thanked the commander he was dismissing — for the defense of Kyiv, for Kharkiv, for Kursk. The fired minister phoned that same commander to thank him for his service, then publicly blessed the successor as ‘a breath of fresh air.’ The new chief spoke of responsibility, not triumph. Corps commanders were consulted before the decision, not informed after.

Now recall how Russia changes commanders.

Surovikin vanished into unexplained silence. Prigozhin got a plane crash. Russian generals learn their fates from the news — those who survive them.

Same war. Same profession. Two civilizations.

In Kyiv, power transfers with a thank-you note. In Moscow, with an obituary.

A state that can change its sword hand without cutting itself has solved the problem empires never solve. That — more than any weapons package — is why I believe Ukraine outlasts Russia.
