Ukrainian media reports that Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi will replace Syrskyi as Commander-in-Chief today.

No official statement has been made yet.

The Ukrainian General Staff issued a statement saying that information circulating about the dismissal of Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi is false, and that Syrskyi continues to perform his duties as normal.

If Syrskyi is dismissed, he should be forcibly mobilised, thrown in the back of a van, taken to a training centre for 2-3 weeks, and then sent to the 425th Assault Regiment "Skala" for a counterattack on Kostyantynivka to clear out the mess he got his soldiers stuck in.
