‘No Room for Mistakes’: What Next for Protestors Demanding Fedorov’s Reinstatement?

The protests against Mykhailo Fedorov’s dismissal as minister of defense are increasingly expanding in focus, reflecting broader public concerns about corruption, non-transparent decision-making, and the government’s lack of accountability. Although a major rally is planned for Aug. 16, it remains unclear whether the protests will continue if Fedorov is not reinstated, especially as Fedorov himself has neither chosen to lead the movement nor openly oppose President Zelensky.
