Demonstrators demanded the reinstatement of Mykhailo Fedorov, who had come to symbolize Ukraine’s success in using drones to strike back against Russia.

Rallies in support of Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's young and popular defense minister, were held in Kyiv and around the country on Thursday, after President Volodymyr Zelensky angered politicians, military officials and the general public by announcing his removal the previous day. Mykhailo Fedorov defended his efforts to modernize the Ukrainian armed forces as thousands of people protested his dismissal.
