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.

A heavy wave of Russian ballistic missile and drone strikes has left people dead across Ukraine, prompting renewed appeals from Kyiv for urgent defensive interceptor supplies.

“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.”

The attack hit two districts in the Ukrainian capital, killing two people, including a teenager.

The next ‘Coalition of the Willing’ meet-up will have new faces, but the same old message.

A growing row over the legacy of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army has even questioned Warsaw’s continued military assistance to Kyiv.

The attack occurred just hours after President Zelensky warned of an impending assault ahead of a NATO summit.

Kyiv wants trust, sanctions, and funding; Berlin responds with an indictment that could break years of diplomatic silence.

“Another horrific night for the residents of the city, who were forced to spend it in shelters,” reported Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. Olha Stefanishyna on X.
