UKRAINE CRISIS LIVE | Chaos In Kyiv! Thousands Protesting Sacking Of Def Minister Mykhailo Fedorov KYIV — Massive protests have erupted across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv, following President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's abrupt dismissal of highly popular Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. On July 16, 2026, thousands of demonstrators gathered at Franko Square near the Presidential Office in Kyiv, chanting 'Shame!' and carrying signs reading 'Bring Fedorov back' and 'Change or perish.' Fedorov, a 35-year-old former digital transformation minister widely credited with revolutionizing Ukraine's drone warfare, neutralizing Russian Starlink access, and slashing procurement corruption, was ousted during a sweeping cabinet reshuffle. The decision has sparked deep public outrage among soldiers, war veterans, and civil society, who fear the replacement of a highly effective reformer with Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko will stall critical military reforms. As parliament prepares to vote on the new cabinet and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrives in Kyiv, the escalating anti-government demonstrations represent a major political challenge for Zelenskyy's administration. #live #KyivProtestsPrecincts #MykhailoFedorov #Zelensky #UkraineCabinet #UkraineWar #KyivLive #UkraineNews #FedorovDismissal In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
