Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reportedly holding urgent discussions about reinstating Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister, a day after dismissing him, according to the Financial Times. The move comes amid growing protests against Zelenskyy's leadership.
President Zelenskyy is reportedly weighing a dramatic reversal of his decision to dismiss Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, just one day after the firing sparked a political crisis. According to the Financial Times, Zelenskyy is 'troubled' by the expansion of protests against him and is holding feverish discussions on whether to reappoint the popular Fedorov. The report comes hours after Pavel Yelizarov, deputy commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, resigned in protest over Fedorov's dismissal, as The Zioneer reported at 09:42 Jerusalem time. The situation underscores the deepening instability in Ukraine's defense leadership amid the ongoing war with Russia.
