Growing Protests Erupt Over Defense Minister Fedorov Dismissal

Growing Protests Erupt Over Defense Minister Fedorov Dismissal

Protests entered a second day in Kiev after President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Defense Minister Oleksiy Fedorov.

Demonstrators gathered in the capital demanding the removal of top general Oleksandr Syrsky.

The unrest reflects growing pressure on Zelensky amid leadership changes within the defense establishment.

Protesters argue that Syrsky's continued command undermines military confidence and accountability.

The demonstrations highlight deepening divisions over wartime strategy and personnel decisions.

Zelensky has not indicated whether further dismissals will follow the Fedorov removal.
