“We are your main financial donors and we need stability. We need people we know, trust, and can work with,” he said.

According to the publication, many high-ranking Ukrainian officials and military-related persons notice a growing trend – younger officers whose careers were shaped by the war with Russia, rather than Soviet military traditions, are beginning to occupy higher positions.

Supporters argue that these leaders better understand the new realities of war, which are changing the nature of combat operations, including the rapid development of drone technology, decentralized decision-making, and the need to adapt more quickly on the front line.

Financial Times reported that V. Zelensky considered dismissing the Armed Forces commander Oleksandr Syrskyi amid large-scale protests over the resignation of former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

The publication called the replacement of the chief commander an attempt to find a way out of the biggest military leadership crisis during V. Zelensky’s presidency.

Earlier, V. Zelensky said he had a long conversation with M. Fedorov and spoke separately with O. Syrskyi.

“There were many consultations. Today I had a long talk with Mykhailo Fedorov. I also spoke today with Oleksandr Syrskyi. Decisions regarding the army will be prepared.”

On Monday, the media reported that the upcoming meeting of the Supreme Command Headquarters might consider O. Syrskyi’s resignation. According to media reports, 11 candidates are being considered for this position.
