Ukraine has been thrown into complete political chaos. Just hours after Russia launched a massive attack of 13 missiles and 151 drones on Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky fired his highly popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and the Prime Minister. Fedorov is seen as the brilliant mind behind Ukraine's successful drone program.
His aggressive audits uncovered $6.7 billion in overspending and kickback networks, and his move to open competitive tenders saved over $100 million on artillery.
But now it seems this created powerful enemies. Watch how this shock firing has sparked massive, rare wartime protests in Kyiv as citizens accuse the presidency of lack of transparency and protecting corrupt networks.

Ukraine: Massive protest over Zelensky's dismissal of Defence Minister 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has launched a major government reshuffle as the country prepares for another winter of war with Russia. The move follows the resignation of the prime minister and now includes the departure of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who oversaw Ukraine's rapid expansion of drone warfare capabilities and military reforms during Russia's full-scale invasion.
The cabinet overhaul comes at a critical stage in the conflict, with Zelensky saying the leadership changes are aimed at strengthening Ukraine's government ahead of expected Russian attacks on critical infrastructure during the winter months.
