Ukraine fights under an interim defense chief after Zelenskyy's contested government shake-up

  • By ILLIA NOVIKOV Associated Press

Ukraine is navigating a leadership shake-up amid its ongoing war with Russia. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, sparking protests and highlighting tensions between military traditionalists and innovators. Zelenskyy has appointed Maj. Gen. Yevhen Khmara as interim defense minister, but his formal approval faces bureaucratic hurdles and a confirmation vote in Parliament. Fedorov, known for advancing drone technology, has defended his record. Meanwhile, Russian attacks have killed civilians in Ukraine, and Ukraine has targeted Russian vessels in the Black Sea. The situation remains tense as both countries continue their military campaigns.
