Sacked defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov is calling for the democratic process to be restored as Kyiv weighs elections in the context of either continuing or ending the war.

Just days after sacking popular defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov, the Ukrainian president decided to appease critics by letting the commander-in-chief go too.

The dismissal of popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has triggered Ukraine’s largest domestic protests since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

“Bring Fedorov back!” Central Kyiv witnessed more than a thousand people gather, singing the Ukrainian national anthem, waving Ukrainian and EU flags, and chanting “shame.”
