Mikhail Drapaty was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to Russian media reports. He is described in the coverage as a radical nationalist, with claims that he made inflammatory statements equating the Russian nation to one 'not having the right to exist,' and likening Donbass residents to 'a burp of the Soviet Union.' Russian officials and analysts have labeled him a 'neo-Nazi' and claimed his rhetoric confirms the 'legitimacy' of Russia's military objectives.
