## Resource

Thousands protest in Kyiv again as Ukraine’s tech-savvy Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov is ousted amid a bitter feud with top military commander Oleksandr Syrsky — a rift so deep even President Zelensky admits they barely speak. Fedorov, beloved for modernizing Ukraine’s war effort with drones, digital systems, and bold reforms, was seen as a breath of fresh air — despite never serving in the army. His dismissal sparks nationwide outrage, with Yevgeniy Khmara of the SBU now stepping in as acting minister. The public’s fierce support for Fedorov reveals a deep hunger for innovation and accountability in Ukraine’s war leadership.
