Ukraine's protests may have changed more than many realise.

In this conversation with Professor Phillips O'Brien, we examine why General Mykhailo Drapatyi's appointment could mark a generational shift inside Ukraine's military, what it means for the war, and whether public pressure forced Kyiv to rethink its plans.

The discussion ended abruptly when I had to leave for shelter during a ballistic missile alert, a reminder that these conversations aren't taking place from a studio, but from a country still at war.

If you value informed, on-the-ground analysis rather than headlines alone, I'd really appreciate a Restack to help more people find independent reporting from inside Ukraine. 🇺🇦🙏
