Ukrainian Army Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi publicly refuted claims of a dispute with former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. He stated that discussions between them were standard institutional practice during wartime. This response follows recent reports questioning the relationship after Fedorov’s dismissal. Syrskyi emphasized his focus remains on military operations, asserting, “My profession is war. That’s what I do and will continue to do.” The Kyiv Independent reported on the general’s statement, clarifying the situation amid political shifts. This clarifies tensions following the presidential decision to relieve Fedorov of his duties and highlights ongoing efforts to maintain operational focus.
