In a subsequent scathing press conference, Fedorov said Syrsky had put an ultimatum to Zelensky to engineer his removal. "The longer Zelensky keeps Syrsky in his position, the deeper the social and political conflict becomes." - 'Solve this together' -Zelensky over the past days has been holding meeting after meeting with his military leadership and appealed for "unity". "He is searching for an option that would demonstrate change in the military leadership while remaining broadly similar to Syrsky: loyal, free of political ambitions and respected by the military," political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko said.
