Dispute grows in Ukraine over army chief
Tensions in Ukraine escalated over the future leadership of its military, following President Zelensky's decision to remove Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Protests supporting Fedorov emerged, with threats of nationwide demonstrations if the defence minister is not reinstated and the army's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, is not dismissed by a specified deadline. Syrskyi defended his record amid criticism and denied plans for his removal, while Zelensky considers possible replacements from younger military officers as the country awaits further strategic decisions amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
