Over the past few days, Ukraine has been facing one of the most significant political crises since the beginning of the full-scale war.
Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov was dismissed. According to Fedorov himself, he had serious disagreements with the military leadership over reforming the Ministry of Defense, defense procurement, and the future development of the Armed Forces. His dismissal has sparked widespread public outrage, protests, and intense debate across Ukraine.
But the biggest problem is not only the personnel decision itself. The biggest problem is the complete lack of open dialogue with society. There has been no proper conversation with the public, no clear answers to the questions that concern hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, and no understandable explanation of why this decision was made or what the plan is going forward. And we still have none.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians publicly support Mykhailo Fedorov. Tens of thousands are taking part in peaceful demonstrations, while millions are expressing their position online. We want the international community to see the scale of this public reaction.
We are not asking foreign governments to interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs or make personnel decisions for us. We are appealing to international journalists, newsrooms, analysts, experts, human rights advocates, and everyone who cares: please help bring attention to this situation. Tell your audience about it, request comments from Ukrainian officials, and ask questions about the reasons behind these decisions, the future of defense reforms, and the absence of open dialogue with society.
Please help ensure that this issue does not disappear from the public agenda without answers. We do not need foreign interference. We need attention, transparency, accountability, and an honest conversation between the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian society.
Please share this post. Tag journalists and international media, translate it into other languages, and tell your audience what is happening. Every repost, every mention, and every question asked helps make the voices of Ukrainians more visible.
Ukrainians deserve answers.
Podczas gdy Nawrocki działa w interesie Rosji, Rosjanie grożą uderzeniem w Polskę.
Rosyjski propagandysta państwowy Karnauchow: „Uderzenie w Polskę i kraje Europy Wschodniej to nie problem. Spalić zaszczane miasta Polski”.
Multiple Ukrainian cities are under attack. Russia wants you to believe it’s striking back, but Ukraine’s precision strikes occurred in response to relentless Russian attacks on civilians and only after Putin refused a ceasefire. He only wants more war, and all of Ukraine.
.@generalkellogg - loud night in Kyiv, Dad!
It might be the explosions and gunfire in the dead of night, but I get the strange feeling the Russians don’t want peace.
Today, Good Friday, the Russians hit a house in Kharkiv with a cluster missile.
Over 60 civilians were injured, including 5 children. One man was killed.
I see that Putin wants peace (c) Trump
Sunday. Christian holiday before Easter. Barbaric brutal murder of civilians in Sumy.
Russians did it intentionally.
But never mind, @SteveWitkoff will thank Putin again and lick his bloody hands.
Yesterday in Kryvyi Rih, Russians killed 18 people, including 9 children. One of them was 3 y.o. Tymofiy.
Why was he killed? Because the Russians are allowed to do so. Because the US condones the killing of children.
There is no other explanation for why we are asked to simply forgive them for the genocide.
This is the Russian "ceasefire."
While the Russians lie to @POTUS about wanting peace, they are killing children. Ballistics strike.
Children killed in Kryvyi Rih.
@SteveWitkoff must be happy.
Kremlin propagandists continue to mock Donald Trump’s team.
In this video, Rybar admits that Russia is not adhering to the ceasefire and continues to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Russians despise America, which is why they so openly violate the agreement.

Hey @MrBeast, saw your "Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000" video.
There’s a fragment on a map showing Crimea being a part of russia. Just in case you or your production crew didn’t know — Crimea is a part of Ukraine, which was illegally and forcefully occupied by russians and their military in 2014.
Moreover, you’ve invited a russian onto your show to represent russia, whereas global sports officials at least make them take part under a neutral flag.
The country that shells Ukrainian cities and kills Ukrainians should not be represented and invited in any show or sports while they are murdering people in another country. If that’s not enough — literally today russia has hit the center of the Ukrainian city Chernihiv with a ballistic missile, killing 7, including a child, and injuring 129 people.
Ukrainians are in full-scale war with russia and have been fighting with the aggressor for their rights, freedom and lives.
Ukrainians remember your help with donations and humanitarian aid. Please, consider removing that map from your video or doing anything about it to show that you do not support terrorism and war.
A destroyed Russian tank has been placed in Berlin right in front of the Russian embassy.
Absolutely outstanding. An idea which I could have had.
Sehr gut!

New on @bellingcat: we (mostly @christogrozev) identified the team of Russian programmers who guide the rockets attacking Ukraine. Christo even identified who was working on which missile type.
Thanks to investigative partners @the_ins_ru and @derspiegel

According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, this was just detonation of “several munition projectiles” for absolutely no reason. No casualties, nothing significant.
Have we heard something like this back in April?
