Ukrainians protest Zelenskyy's ouster of his popular defense minister
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ousted Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, prompting protests across Ukraine.
Fedorov, a 35-year-old modernizer who advanced drone technology, clashed with military chief Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Zelenskyy replaced the prime minister and reshuffled wartime government, testing his political authority amid Russia's invasion approaching 4½ years.
Fedorov secured restrictions on Russian forces' use of Starlink, expanded drone procurement and missile contracts, but failed to fully reform defense procurement to NATO standards.
Russian missile strikes on Kyiv killed two and wounded five as the military leadership faced internal crisis.
