In late October, Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi marked 100 days as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as Ukraine continues to make strides in regaining ground in the northern part of Donetsk Oblast. Drapatyi, one of Ukraine's most popular generals, was appointed in July with high expectations to deliver much-needed reforms to the armed forces.
Since his appointment, the front line has become a bright spot for Ukraine's war effort, despite Russia's escalation of total war against the country's economy and infrastructure. Drapatyi, who has spent most of his military career on the front lines since 2014, began his career as a tank lieutenant at 21 and has since climbed the ranks by proving himself in combat.
