21.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Syrsky Was Sacked
⌨
The day's dominant editorial focus was the dismissal of Ukraine's commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky and his replacement by Mykhailo Drapatyi, reported across state-aligned and independent outlets from early evening onward. Earlier, editors had tracked a series of developments: a US-Iran ceasefire proposal, massive Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian regions causing fires and a dam breach at Belgorod Reservoir, and secret Russia-Germany talks in Baku revealed by Azerbaijani president Aliyev. State media also highlighted fuel market stabilization, new crypto legislation, and a migrant citizenship ban. By nightfall, however, the leadership shake-up in Kyiv eclipsed all other stories, with outlets framing it as a crisis and linking it to Washington's refusal to send $400 million in aid.
