Fedorov vs Zelensky? Ukraine Entering a New Political Season?

The Verkhovna Rada has appointed a defense minister, and, as expected, Mykhailo Fedorov was not returned to the post. He has recorded a video address criticizing the current system and, conroversially, calling for elections.

President ​Volodymyr Zelensky nominated ​Yevheny Khmara for parliamentary approval ​to become Defence minister. Khmara served ​as acting ‌minister following the abrupt dismissal of ‌his predecessor, Mykhailo Fedorov, in June, which ​sparked public outrage and a week-long ​political crisis ​for Zelensky.
