Great news from Zelenski! What appears to be a sound appointment. Maintenance of the momentum is indeed the task at hand. Pivoting the missile defense to hitting the archer and working on a solution for the arrow simultaneously, appears to be the only workable solution to the imbalance in strike v defense. IRS that leads to running the supply chain of components missiles and launchers will be critical given that interceptors may be a long way off even if PAC II builds can be jointly commenced with Germany!
This is such very good news. It seems to me that Zelenskyy ‘s real power base is the people who protest and he needs them to come out to make political changes that go against established structures. Good teams move quickly through the storming and norming phases and on to performing, so I pray that’s what will happen now. Thanks Dr M!
Thanks for this summary. Attention now turns to what position Fedorov will be offered and if he accepts it. After Zelensky's move to sack Syrsky, can he do another U-turn and reinstate his former defence minister ?
For the the top military commander and the defence minister to work effectively together, both have to be happy in their respective roles. In his public statements since being sacked, it seems clear that Fedorov wants to be defence minister again, to the exclusion of any other post.
Congratulations on completing your PhD!

That could now do with an update or two.
Thanks.

We can opine ad nauseum on the wisdom and merits of this reorganization, but in the end only the results will count.
Thank you, Dr. Ryan.
