Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the country’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky.
His ouster comes just days after the popular ouster of 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, has been widely praised for reinvigorating the ministry and reforming the armed forces, as well as fighting corruption.
Sirsky, 60, is seen by many in Ukraine as a commander of the Soviet school, refusing to implement radical changes in the army.
