In a nation forged by years of war, the weight of collective grief and frustration finally bent the arc of institutional power. Ukraine installed a new top military commander this week — not through the quiet rhythms of succession, but through the insistent voices of soldiers, veterans, and civilians who demanded that those who decide the fate of others be held to account. It is a moment that reveals something enduring about democratic societies at war: that even in extremity, the governed retain the power to compel the governors to listen.
