"As for me, I’m not sure that Drapaty, unlike the sacked Fyodorov (Ukraine’s former Defense Minister Mikhail Fyodorov - TASS), will become a new card in the Ukrainian electoral pack. Kiev may change 'captains' on the slowly but surely sinking Titanic as often as it pleases, but it can’t reverse the course of events," the expert said. On July 14, Mikhail Fyodorov was removed from the post of the Ukrainian defense minister, partly due to infighting with the commander-in-chief, Alexander Syrsky. The protesters gradually began to demand not only the return of Fyodorov, but also the dismissal of Syrsky. On the sixth day of the protests, Zelensky announced firing Syrsky, and later - the appointment of Drapaty.
