Several thousand Ukrainians rallied through central Kyiv on Friday, signaling to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that opposition to his decision to oust Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, widely credited with driving military innovation during Ukraine’s war with Russia, remains strong.
Fedorov, who only took charge of the wartime ministry in January, was dismissed in a surprise and poorly explained government reshuffle in mid-July. Since then, Ukrainians have been gathering next to the presidential office, pushing for Fedorov to be reinstated as he refused to accept another government post.
“I don’t like it when decisions are made, and then no one can explain why they were made,” Oleksandr, a 40-year-old working in the IT sector, said.
