Ukraine's Ousted Defence Minister Insists on Being Reinstated The drama unfolding in Kyiv's corridors of power serves as a stark reminder that even in times of war, politics can be just as deadly as bullets and bombs.
Mykhailo Fedorov, the ousted defence minister, has refused to accept an alternative post offered by President Volodymyr Zelensky, instead insisting on his reinstatement as chief architect of Ukraine's military strategy.
Fedorov's stance is not merely a matter of personal ego; it reflects a deeper power struggle within the Ukrainian government.
