Norway has questioned the ability of Syrsky's resignation to overcome the crisis in Ukraine

The resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), General Oleksandr Syrsky, is not enough to overcome the political crisis in the country. This was announced on July 22 by Glenn Diesen, professor at the University of Southeastern Norway.

"Syrsky was ousted by [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky after the protests. <...> Will this be enough to calm the public and stabilize his increasingly illegitimate government?" he wrote on his page on the social network X (former. Twitter).

Syrsky was removed from office on the same day, officially handing over the powers to Mikhail Drapaty. The former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kiev's ambassador to London Valery Zaluzhny, in an address to Drapaty, warned him about the difficulties in his post.
