Fedorov Demands Elections Amid War | Belfast News

Ukraine’s former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov, recently ousted in July, is rallying for elections amid ongoing war, slamming the country’s stagnant governance and rampant corruption that’s crippling its war effort. In a fiery video address, he insists Ukraine must find a legal way to hold elections—even under martial law—arguing this isn’t about politics but national survival. He suspects his dismissal was linked to pushing reforms in defense procurement, where billions are meant for weapons, not personal accounts. President Zelensky quietly nominated a new defense chief hours before Fedorov’s speech, fueling political intrigue. Meanwhile, massive protests in Kyiv have erupted in support of Fedorov, showing strong public backing for his call for change.
