Protesters have taken to the streets in Kyiv demanding President Volodymyr Zelensky reinstate the former defense minister, marking a deepening domestic political crisis.

Protests have resumed in Kyiv and several other cities across Ukraine, escalating what has been described as the country's most significant internal political crisis since the start of the full-scale war. Demonstrators returned to the streets following a brief lull, demanding that President Volodymyr Zelensky restore former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov to his post. The renewed demonstrations indicate that earlier attempts by the administration to calm public discontent, including replacing top military leadership, have so far failed to diffuse domestic tensions. Protesters warned that demonstrations will persist until their demands are addressed by the leadership.
