Four-star General Oleksandr Syrskyi has commanded the armed forces in Ukraine since February. Before that, he helmed his country's ground forces as Russia began its full-scale invasion in early 2022, when he led that initial battle for Kyiv and pushed Moscow's forces out of the capital.

Among them, the surprise assault on the Russian region of Kursk, and the current fears that the key city of Pokrovsk could fall imminently.
