Editors focused on the formalization of the military command shakeup that had dominated the previous days. Morning headlines confirmed Maj. Gen. Mykhailo Drapaty as the new Commander-in-Chief and Brig. Gen. Ihor Skybyuk as Chief of the General Staff, with official decrees published. Syrskyi's farewell statement—handing over 'an army on the offensive'—was widely quoted. By midday, attention turned to Zelensky's diplomatic talks with Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner on reviving peace efforts, and new US Patriot missile agreements.
