Ukraine’s Defense Minister Removed | Madison News

Ukraine’s defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov has been ousted amid rare protests in Kyiv, sparking shockwaves across Western allies who saw him as a corruption-fighting tech innovator. Known for boosting drone warfare and troop morale, Fedorov clashed publicly with armed forces chief Oleksandr Syrskyi over strategy, accusing him of division and misinformation. Though President Zelensky confirmed Fedorov remains on his team, his future role is unclear. Despite the turmoil, Ukraine’s drone campaign continues to strike deep inside Russia, even forcing a Black Sea waterway shutdown. Meanwhile, June was Ukraine’s deadliest month for civilians since April 2022, as Russian missiles rained down. Zelensky now faces the delicate task of restoring unity within Ukraine’s defense leadership as the war grinds on.
