Summary
Ukraine’s lawmakers brace for a pivotal vote this Thursday as President Zelensky moves to oust popular tech-savvy Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, sparking protests and raising alarms over leadership stability amid ongoing war. Fedorov, credited with modernizing Ukraine’s military through drones and data-driven tactics, faces backlash from the public and even top generals, with one air force commander calling his dismissal a “great evil.” As Ukraine battles Russia’s ground forces and air defense shortages, the timing of this shake-up has ignited fears of internal fractures — especially as Zelensky hints at unity within the defense ministry. The fallout remains uncertain, but the streets of Kyiv are already echoing with chants of “Shame!” as the nation watches a key reformer’s exit.
