TVP World reporters spoke with demonstrators demanding Fedorov’s reinstatement. The former minister, credited by supporters with accelerating Ukraine’s drone warfare and defense procurement reforms, was removed after a dispute with commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Most of the new cabinet has been approved, but parliament has adjourned without confirming permanent defense and foreign ministers. Yevhenii Khmara, the acting head of the Security Service of Ukraine, has been appointed as acting defense minister, while Andrii Sybiha remains at the Foreign Ministry in an acting capacity. Lawmakers are not expected to reconvene until August 18. Meanwhile, public anger continues, with protesters calling for Fedorov’s return.
