If there is accountability to be handed out, the commanders ordering those missions ought to be standing at the front of the line. Literally.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The more important point, however, is structural.

It is Sirskyi who has dragged the Ukrainian Army back toward Soviet-style warfare, who has elevated loyalty above competence, and who has cultivated an increasingly authoritarian atmosphere within the Armed Forces.
