Mikhail Drapaty faces serious challenges after being appointed Ukraine's top military commander

After Mikhail Drapaty's appointment as Ukraine's top military commander, he faces serious challenges, writes The New York Times. The new leadership must address issues with the command and control system, protect energy networks during winter amid missile shortages for air defense, and improve relations between the military and the Ministry of Defense. Drapaty will also need to balance the military's operational independence with Zelenskyy's desire to personally oversee frontline operations. The main task is to ensure personnel changes do not slow down the pace of operations.
