Ukrainians rally against dismissal of tech-minded defense minister Fedorov
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who championed the push to integrate drone technology and digital innovation into the military.
Ukrainians took to the streets across the country on Thursday to protest President Volodymyr Zelensky's abrupt dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who championed the push to integrate drone technology and digital innovation into the military.
Demonstrators gathered in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and other cities carrying signs with messages like "Bring Fedorov Back" and "We Want to Fight With Drones, Not People."
The protests reflect growing frustration among many younger Ukrainians and soldiers who viewed Fedorov as the face of Ukraine's push to modernize its military through drones and digital innovation while tackling corruption in the Defense Ministry.
