What happened
President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Ukraine’s senior military leadership after unrest and large-scale protests. The leadership change places wartime command decisions under public and political scrutiny.
Why the event matters
Ukraine is fighting a prolonged war, so changes in senior military command are not only administrative decisions. They also affect morale, civil-military coordination, and public confidence in the state’s ability to manage the war.
