乌克兰总统泽连斯基在数天的大规模抗议后，宣布对国家军事领导层进行重大调整 35。泽连斯基先是解除了国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫的职务，随后在压力下改变决定，周二免职武装部队总司令亚历山大·西尔斯基 356。
费多罗夫于今年1月被任命为国防部长，任职六个月期间乌克兰取得了一系列军事胜利 1。他因利用数据分析改进前线表现、创办"乌克兰IT军队"发起网络攻击并领导"无人机军队"募资活动而获得广泛赞誉 5。费多罗夫主张现代化军事改革，但与坚持传统指挥风格的西尔斯基发生政策冲突 2。
西尔斯基现年60岁，是乌克兰武装部队前总司令，苏联军事学院毕业 2。他因领导巴赫穆特防御战期间的高伤亡而获得"屠夫"的绰号 23。西尔斯基因被视为苏联学派指挥官、不愿实施军队激进改革而备受批评 5。在一次公开评论中，西尔斯基声称"我不能在两个月内将百万大军转变为无人机部队" 1。他在离职前的告别声明中表示，乌克兰今年收复了超过700平方公里的领土 6。
费多罗夫被免职立即引发全国抗议 2。军人德米特罗·科济亚丁斯基在社交媒体上宣称，若"到7月24日西尔斯基未被解职、费多罗夫未被提名为国防部长"，将启动"无限期全国抗议" 1。空军副司令因抗议辞职，警告此举将削弱乌克兰的防空能力 23。抗议在基辅及全国其他城市持续6天，抗议者计划周五在基辅伊万·弗兰克广场继续集会 56。
43岁的米哈伊洛·德拉帕蒂被任命为新的陆军总司令 35。德拉帕蒂被认为是改革派，与费多罗夫关系密切，支持现代化军队技术 45。尤夫赫尼·赫马拉被任命为新国防部长 456。主要陆军将领伊戈尔·斯基比尤克将取代安德里·赫纳托夫担任总参谋长 6。
泽连斯基为费多罗夫提供了"政府内的显著职位" 4，但费多罗夫拒绝了副总理职位，坚持要求恢复防长职位 6。泽连斯基在视频中表示已向费多罗夫提供"政权内的体面职位"，但未说明其是否接受 5。泽连斯基表示仍在研究"乌克兰国防战略需要做出何种调整"，并称"乌克兰必须以最强状态进入8月" 1。他也对西尔斯基的成就表示感谢，称"我们的共同愿望就是一个——战胜敌人，并在前线和对俄罗斯的压力上创造条件，迫使俄罗斯走向和平" 3。
普京发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示德拉帕蒂的任命不会改变前线局势 6。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed military commander Alexander Syrskyi and appointed Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new armed forces commander 35, bringing an abrupt end to a political crisis triggered by the earlier removal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov 5.
The turmoil began when Zelenskyy fired Fedorov, a 35-year-old tech innovator who had served as defence minister for six months 2. During his tenure, Ukraine achieved a series of military victories 1. Fedorov had championed modernization efforts, including data-driven strategies to improve frontline performance, the establishment of the "Ukrainian IT Army" for cyber operations, and leadership of drone-fundraising initiatives 5. His removal sparked massive protests across multiple Ukrainian cities over six days, with demonstrators demanding his reinstatement and Syrskyi's removal 5.
The conflict reflected a fundamental divide over military strategy. Fedorov, representing a reformist approach to modernization, clashed with Syrskyi, a 60-year-old commander viewed as representing Soviet-era command traditions 2. Syrskyi faced criticism for his reluctance to implement radical military reforms 5 and earned the nickname "Butcher" for heavy casualties during the defense of Bakhmut 23.
In response to the escalating pressure, Zelenskyy reversed course on Tuesday, dismissing Syrskyi and appointing the 43-year-old Drapatyi, considered a younger, more innovative military leader and close ally of Fedorov 5. The president also appointed Yevhenii Khmara as acting defence minister 45.
Zelenskyy offered Fedorov a "prominent position" within the government to ease the crisis 45. However, Fedorov rejected the offer of deputy prime minister, insisting on restoration to his defence ministry role 6. In a video statement, Zelenskyy said he had offered Fedorov "a decent position in the government," though it remained unclear whether Fedorov would accept 5.
Syrskyi stated in a farewell message that Ukraine had reclaimed over 700 square kilometers of territory this year 6. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for Syrskyi's contributions while emphasizing the need for achieving "victory over the enemy" 3.
The dismissals also involved broader restructuring. Igor Skybiyuk will replace Andrii Hnatov as chief of the general staff 6. An air force deputy commander resigned in protest over Fedorov's initial removal, warning the move would weaken Ukraine's air defenses 3.
Veterans and protesters had set a deadline demanding action by Friday 46, with plans to hold indefinite nationwide demonstrations in the capital's Ivan Franko Square if their demands were not met 6.
