Delfi.ru reports that Ukrainian forces have launched an attack on Wildberries warehouses, signaling a potential new phase in the ongoing conflict. The report also raises questions about the future of Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, suggesting he might be dismissed.
According to the Financial Times, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is considering Syrskyi's removal. This comes after a conflict between Syrskyi and Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, which reportedly led to Fedorov's resignation. Fedorov is described as a highly successful Defense Minister with considerable public support. The interim Defense Minister position has been filled by Yevhen Hmara, who previously led the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
Ukraine has also recently approved a new government, with Serhiy Koretskyi appointed as prime minister. The article poses whether these shifts in military and government leadership indicate a transition into a new stage of the war. Military-political observer Oleksandr Kovalenko from the "Information Resistance" group is expected to provide insights into these changes.
Discussions will also cover how the change in leadership might affect the effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and what new tasks they might face. The attack on Wildberries warehouses and other related topics are also on the agenda for analysis.
