Zelensky fires army chief Syrsky after street protests

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Oleksandr Syrsky as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces on Tuesday, bowing to pressure from street protests. The demonstrations began five days earlier following the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov as defence minister. The move marks another significant shake-up at the top of Ukraine's military and government leadership.
