Воїни. Українці.
Сьогодні я залишаю пост Головнокомандувача Збройних Сил України. Перед тим, як передати командування, скажу кілька слів.

@Mikiashvili_M We have no right to be tired. It's the Georgians who are putting their neck on the line to reclaim their country. All anyone else should do is support them or shut up.

Today, I can see that many people in the West are surprised, impressed, and perhaps even a little jealous of how directly Ukrainians are involved in decision-making and governing their country. Their president actually listens to them, engages in dialogue, and has an organic, natural conversation with the nation.
Zelenskyy didn't just dismiss General Oleksandr Syrskyi as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - after extensive discussions, consultations, and advice from his generals, he appointed the very person the Ukrainian people had been demanding.
Unfortunately, Syrskyi didn't resign on his own, which would have allowed him to save face and taken some of the pressure off the president. That would have been the decent thing to do - but he never did.
I also hope many world leaders will remember this moment before criticizing or attacking the Ukrainian president for his policies or his unwillingness to give up in this war. He acts the way he does because he has a direct mandate from, and the support of, the Ukrainian people.
To preserve that trust - and the strength it gives his leadership - there is one more decision left to make: reinstate Mykhailo Fedorov as Minister of Defense so he can finish the reform.
For those who think Fedorov would become too popular and eventually compete with Zelenskyy for political support, the reality is that things would be much tougher for Fedorov.
The support of the Ukrainian people is an extraordinary vote of confidence (credit) - one that comes with enormous expectations. Fedorov would have one job: to deliver this reform. All eyes would be on him.
That is an incredibly difficult position to be in, and I respect him if he is willing to take on that responsibility.
And to President Zelenskyy, I would say this: listening to your people and changing your mind when necessary is a sign of strength, not weakness. It takes character and wisdom not only to hear your people, but to respond directly to their demands and their voice.
And Thank God we have a very wise nation.

Remember who consistently supported democratic Ukraine from the start.
Remember who consistently supported fascist Russia.
Remember who switched to supporting democratic Ukraine once it looked like fascist Russia might be losing.
It’s a litmus test of political character.

A hedgehog observation from 2014, and still true: Ukrainian civil society is underestimated at one’s peril:

Congratulations to Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi on his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is a breath of fresh air and a new source of hope in the fight of free people for freedom and justice. It is the voice of change that could no longer be ignored.
Now, the high expectations of the Ukrainian people must be met with a clear vision for bringing the War of Independence to a successful conclusion, a strong team and decisive action focused on saving the lives of our service members, accelerating the robotization of the battlefield, delivering asymmetric strikes and exhausting Russia’s economy.
I also called General Oleksandr Syrskyi to thank him for the defense of the Kyiv region, the Kharkiv counteroffensive and other historic battles.
These achievements are already an important part of Ukraine’s history.
But now we must move even faster, write the next chapters of that history and correct the mistakes of the past.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

I have decided that Mykhailo Drapatyi will become the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Together with Mykhailo, Yevhenii Khmara, and Pavlo Palisa, we determined how the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be reconfigured. It is a fact that Oleksandr Syrskyi delivered results for Ukraine in the defense of Kyiv, the Kharkiv offensive, and the Kursk operation. We have come a long way, Ukraine's defense continues, and every warrior must be treated with dignity. I am grateful to Oleksandr Syrskyi and to every one of our warriors for Ukraine's strong positions on the front. I am grateful to Mykhailo Drapatyi for sharing this vision. Today, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Andrii Hnatov, and I discussed future service formats and the proper handover of duties.
We all want the same thing: to defeat the enemy and create the conditions – on the front line and through pressure on Russia – that would allow us to force Russia into peace. Tomorrow, we will formalize all of these decisions. Ukraine must emerge from this situation stronger, and it will be harder for Russia. Glory to Ukraine!

Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine.
Sirens blaring.
This is everyday for every Ukrainian.
I feel like such an asshole for minimizing the struggle of Ukrainians for the last 5 years. I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say.
There are people in Ukraine who have to run to a bomb shelter everyday and some of us had the audacity to say Russia wasn’t wrong because we believed the lie that Ukraine is a country full of Nazi sympathizers.
We have been so propagandized by Russia and we don’t even realize it.
Air sirens could very well be the future of America if we don’t start demanding our lawmakers crack down on communism and multipolarity.
We won’t have Trump forever and the axis of evil is moving fast.

Guys there’s an important fundraiser for FPV drones for the 80th brigade.
They’re quite pricey but I believe in our collective power and invite all of you to join to make more equipment go boom.

Zelensky can't stop shooting himself in the foot

🫠 Yermak advised Zelensky to dismiss Fedorov - UP.

@AdrianP_doc No politician should ever be able to operate without scrutiny and criticism. They answer to the people.
But if he makes the right decision, he deserves credit for actually listening to the people. Let's wait and see what happens
English
Whatever choice Zelensky makes we need to clearly remember that he wanted to do something different that was unpopular with citizens and the military and it is only public pressure which forced him to reconsider.
7 years in power can be a long time for anyone. Ukrainians need to keep an eye on him.

It's 600 consecutive days of uninterrupted #GeorgiaProtests
I know many wonder what we have achieved.
Well, an unprecedented international isolation and a very fragile and unstable domestic consolidation of the regime, albeit ruthless. (And thank God they have no oil or any other form of self-sustained economic dominance).
A viable political alternative will change a lot. But it’s hard with mass imprisonment of leadership (awaiting again in mere weeks) and 0 financial resources.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Even a $1m missile is too much for drone defense. Cheaper Patriot missiles are always a good thing, but selling them as cUAS is silly
English
🇺🇸🚀 Reuters: Lockheed Martin announced a lower-cost Patriot interceptor on Monday as militaries seek cheaper ways to counter drones and missiles, while defense contractors face competition from startups making low-cost weapons that can be produced at scale.
Lockheed said its new PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector, or ACE, missile would cost less than half as much as its PAC-3 MSE interceptors, which cost roughly $4 million per missile.
Initial production could start within 36 months, the company said, adding that it plans to develop and manufacture the weapon with U.S. and European industry partners.

@ChristopherJM I'm assuming they'll try to sell removing Syrskyi as a compromise without returning Fedorov?
English
My understanding right now is that one of these things is underway and may soon be announced. The other one is so far not on the table.
Christopher Miller@ChristopherJM
From one of the main organizers of the pro-Fedorov/anti-Syrsky protests spreading across Ukraine: "We want to take to the public squares and clearly convey our position to the president: if by Friday, July 24, Syrsky is not dismissed and Fedorov's candidacy for the position of minister of defense is not submitted, we will begin a general indefinite protest."

🚀 Fire Point co-founder and chief designer Denys Shtilerman has shared a video featuring an unidentified missile, revealing no further details
"Beautiful," he captioned the clip.
We agree — it looks beautiful! Now the only question is: are you just showing the missiles, or are they already being launched at Russian targets? ☺️

@Farnakyboy @pedrotheepony @GLandsbergis Gee, it's almost as if friends make you stronger. Not that you'd know anything about friends, I'm guessing

@DeltaJ26 @pedrotheepony @GLandsbergis Tiny depopulated Lithuania doesn't have a single tank or fighter jet. It's extremely brave of them to build a few barracks on the border with Belarus and station German soldiers in them. 😆

While allies discussed the impossibility of controlling the Black Sea, Ukraine took control of it. Allies bought oil, Ukraine bombed refineries. Now allies avoid sanctioning the shadow fleet, so Ukraine sinks it. Maybe we should stop pretending we are in the driving seat here.

@antagonistfff @IAPonomarenko Ivan Franko, the poet. Surely the most genocidal maniac of them all

@IAPonomarenko With Ukrainians, it's not a zero chance of happening. Ultimately you really like your genocidal national heroes :D

Meanwhile, Russian Z-fascists on Telegram are seriously convinced that the protests against the dismissal of the defense minister in Kyiv are taking place in a square named after the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, rather than after the Ukrainian national poet Ivan Franko.
