Mikhail Drapaty is a Ukrainian military officer who was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in July 2024, according to Russian media reports. Russian sources describe him as a radical nationalist and a 'neo-Nazi,' citing his alleged statements equating the Russian nation with one 'not having the right to exist' and likening Donbass residents to a 'burp of the Soviet Union.' He is also reported to have initiated a military audit, reversed previous command decisions, and faced internal resistance from Ukrainian military personnel and officials.
