Pressure to remove Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky has intensified, with reports emerging that dissatisfaction has spread to the military ranks.
According to media accounts, some soldiers have been seen tearing up Syrsky's medals, signaling a deepening crisis within the armed forces.
Fedorov argued that replacing the top military commanders was necessary to improve Ukraine's defensive capabilities and strategic outlook.
This development marks a significant escalation from previous political disputes, suggesting that the leadership challenge is no longer confined to Kyiv's corridors of power.
The unrest follows a public confrontation between Syrsky and former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
Fedorov, who was recently dismissed from his post, has openly called for the removal of both Syrsky and Chief of the General Staff Andriy Hnatov.
Fedorov argued that replacing the top military commanders was necessary to improve Ukraine's defensive capabilities and strategic outlook.
