General Syrskyi’s dismissal had nothing to do with the warehouses being struck. The warehouses are being used as part of the Russian army logistics network. Syrskyi was fired because he was old school Soviet tactics and was disliked because of it. There are also corruption allegations swirling amongst the old guard of Ukraine…there’s an ongoing struggle between the new era coming up and the Soviet relics.

It's amazing to me that Ukraine has still managed some reforms while an invading army is attacking them. If they are that committed to reform, they should be fully-fledged EU members.

I make no claims on them being finished. I admire the effort in a time of war, and with such shitty, murderous neighbors.

I also like that Zelensky's trying to bring Fedorov back due to popular demand. To me, it looks like he made a mistake and is correcting it. Democracies aren't perfect, but they are self-correcting, and Ukraine seems to be preparing for when the invaders go home.
