Reportedly, protests against Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrsky have intensified, with dismissed Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov publicly opposing him. The demonstrations add to the ongoing political crisis following Fedorov's dismissal earlier this week.
The protests mark a new phase in the conflict between Ukraine's political and military leadership. As The Zioneer reported, tensions escalated after President Zelenskyy dismissed Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov on July 15, sparking widespread protests. The demonstrations have since targeted army chief Oleksandr Syrsky, who is accused of opposing Fedorov's tenure. The dismissed minister has now publicly joined the criticism against Syrsky, according to reports. The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected.
