Ukrainian President Zelensky initiated the fourth large-scale government reshuffle since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict began, and accidentally removed Defense Minister Mikhailo Fedorov from office. Fedorov is regarded as a popular figure in the Ukrainian government and an important proponent of promoting drone warfare in Ukraine. He confirmed his dismissal in a social media post on Wednesday. Fedorov listed many of the achievements of his team during his six-month tenure, including cutting off the Russian military's use of the “Starlink” system, further isolating Crimea, and “promoting an unpopular but extremely important military reform.” This personnel change prompted some people to call for peaceful protests in Kyiv on Thursday morning. Shortly before this adjustment took place, Ukraine's parliament had just approved the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Sveridenko. She left office after only one year in office.
