In the middle of a war that has tested the endurance of an entire nation, Ukraine has changed the hand on the helm — not through the quiet mechanics of institutional succession, but because ordinary citizens demanded it. After seven days of protests in cities across the country, President Zelenskyy appointed Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new military commander, acknowledging that public consent is as essential to a war effort as ammunition or strategy. It is a rare and telling moment: a government at war pausing to listen to the people who are living it.
