Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been accused of creating a rival by sacking Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov just months into his tenure, despite Fedorov's impressive reforms as head of Ukraine's power company, DTEK. Fedorov, 35 and with no military background, was seen as an unconventional choice for the role but proved himself effective in leading major reforms. His sudden dismissal has raised questions about Zelenskyy's motivations and whether he is trying to consolidate power. The move may also weaken Ukraine's war effort against Russia.
