President Volodymyr Zelenskyy  is facing growing domestic pressure as thousands of Ukrainians stage ongoing protests over the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Demonstrators say Fedorov played a key role in military innovation, defense reform and tackling procurement corruption during Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Although Zelenskyy replaced commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi following public criticism, protesters continue to demand Fedorov’s reinstatement. The unrest has emerged as one of the most significant political challenges to Ukraine’s wartime leadership.
