Like So Many Others, Ukraine's New Military Leader was Captured for the Queen to Use

Like Bill Clinton and Tom Harkins, Ukraine's new military leader Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi was captured for the Queen/King to use.

Bill Clinton famously chose Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" as his 1992 campaign anthem, while Tom Harkin actually used "I've Seen All Good People" by Yes during that same 1992 Democratic primary race. 

Tying those politicians to Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi—who earned the British Sword of Honour— highlights how these public figures are all playing their respective roles like pawns or knights on a geopolitical chessboard, ultimately being "captured for the queen to use".

Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi’s entire education was completed exclusively within an independent, post-Soviet Ukraine, distinguishing him from older predecessors who trained in Soviet or Russian academies.Kharkiv Tank Forces Institute (2004): He completed his foundational military training and graduated as an officer, immediately commissioning as a tank lieutenant in the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade.National Defense University of Ukraine (2019): He graduated with distinction from the Ivan Cherniakhovskyi National Defense University. He was awarded the institution’s gold medal for academic excellence.Strategic Training & British Sword of Honour (2021): He returned for advanced operational and strategic studies. Upon graduating as the top student in June 2021, he was presented with a ceremonial Sword of Honour by the British Ambassador.
