‼️‼️🇺🇦 Protests have broken out across several Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Kharkiv, following the resignation of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
🔹Fedorov, who was appointed on January 14, 2026, confirmed his departure on July 15 as part of a significant cabinet reshuffle initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
🔹Fedorov’s departure comes after only six months in office, during which he was widely credited with modernizing Ukraine’s drone warfare capabilities and instituting various structural reforms within the Ministry of Defence. However, reports indicate that his tenure was marked by internal friction, specifically citing systemic conflicts with Ukraine’s military leadership, including Commander-in-Chief Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi.
🔹President Zelenskyy has reportedly signaled his intention to nominate Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko as the new Minister of Defence.
