Ukraine has seen rare wartime demonstrations this week over the removal of Defence Minister Mykhailo “Misha” Fedorov. He had spent only six months in the post, but was credited with making a difference on the battlefield and in an anti-corruption campaign. Reports said Fedorov clashed with Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, over how the war should be conducted. The episode has highlighted tensions at the top of Ukraine’s wartime leadership.
A former combat medic and prominent figure in this week’s protests against Mykhailo Fedorov’s dismissal as defense minister says he is being targeted with intimidation. He believes those responsible are people “close to (Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr) Syrskyi.” The veteran said the pressure was intended to make him stop participating in the protests. His allegation was made in an interview.
