"Ukraine's 'Butcher' Army Chief Faces Russian Threat"

Ukraine's new army chief, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, known as the "butcher," faces challenges in mobilizing forces and combating corruption in the ranks. President Zelenskyy's recent dismissal of top generals reflects his management style, with Syrskyi appointing new commanders. The armed forces struggle with mobilization, corruption, and delays in Western military aid. Syrskyi has been credited with successful operations against Russian forces, but some servicemen criticize his tactics and disregard for human life.
