Zelensky Faces Fury on Ukrainian Streets After Dropping Popular Defence Minister The sudden removal of defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has sent shockwaves through Ukrainian society, sparking widespread protests and raising questions about President Volodymyr Zelensky's leadership.
Appointed just six months ago, Fedorov quickly gained popularity for his efforts to modernize the military.
Under his tenure, Ukraine achieved significant gains against Russian forces, including effective use of long range drones to target oil and military sites in occupied territory.
