Ukraine's Zelenskyy Sacks Defence Minister Amid Controversy Over War Experience and Reforms Record
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has sacked Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov in a move that may have created a rival, raising questions about his leadership style and ability to effectively lead the country's military efforts.
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.
