Challenge to Zelenskyy Amid Mounting Pressure on Kyiv Leadership
Ukraine’s ousted Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for wartime elections, arguing that the nation faces a crisis of governance. This move challenges President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership and comes amid mounting pressure on Kyiv’s leadership. Fedorov’s call is the first such demand by a major Ukrainian political figure since Russia’s invasion in 2022. The development was reported by Reuters.
