Mychajlo Fedorov has been dismissed as Ukraine's defense minister after just six months in office. The decision comes as part of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's cabinet reshuffle.
Hundreds of protesters have gathered in Kyiv and several other cities, demanding that Mykhailo Fedorov should be reinstated. They are carrying signs with messages such as ”Bring Fedorov Back” and ”Don’t Fix What Isn’t Broken.” Critics argue that Fedorov has been an effective minister and that his dismissal is causing unnecessary anxiety in the midst of the war.
The Minister of the Interior has been offered the position of the new Minister of Defense. It is unclear whether Fedorov will be given a new role in the government.
