Ukraine Overhauls Its Military Top Brass for the Fight Against Russia

UKRAINE- Ukraine pushed on with its fight against Russia’s invasion under new military leadership on Wednesday, after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy bowed to public pressure and fired his commander-in-chief.

Ukraine has made significant progress in the war this year, and a rift between the country’s outgoing army chief and its defense minister threatened to derail its efforts.

Both men lost their jobs following Zelenskyy’s major government reshuffle last week.

The top-level changes on late Tuesday were intended to draw a line under an unwelcome spasm of political turmoil that lasted almost a week and prompted rejoicing in Russia.

It was not clear whether Zelenskyy’s measures would achieve that goal.
