Mykhailo Drapaty was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on July 22, 2026 by Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelesnky. Drapaty has been on the wanted list in Russia, according to data from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Previously, the Investigative Committee of Russia (SK) had filed charges against Drapaty in absentia. According to the agency, in 2017 and 2019, he, along with Viktor Nikolyuk, exercised overall command of the operation of the Ukrainian Joint Forces. Under their leadership, Ukrainian militants carried out more than 70 shelling attacks on populated areas in the DPR and LPR, resulting in the deaths and injuries of 154 civilians.
