President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Mykhailo Fedorov as Ukraine’s defense minister on July 15, 2026, after six months in the role, as part of a broader cabinet reshuffle that included the prime minister’s resignation and parliamentary approval of a new government. Fedorov, previously minister of digital transformation, had prioritized drone production, data-driven reforms, and anti-corruption measures during his tenure. His removal triggered protests in multiple cities, with demonstrators calling for his reinstatement amid reported tensions with Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi over military modernization and conscription policy. Fedorov publicly stated he had urged Syrskyi’s replacement—a request Zelenskyy declined—and left open the possibility of returning to the post, though the new cabinet structure and legislative confirmation process create clear procedural barriers. Any reversal would require Zelenskyy to renominate him and secure Verkhovna Rada support before the current transition stabilizes.
