Valerii Zaluzhnyi, former commander-in-chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces and current Ambassador to the UK, has commented on the appointment of Mykhailo Drapatyi as Commander-in-Chief.

The new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian military forged his reputation as a daring and determined fighter in the early days of the country’s battle against Russia.
