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.

⚡️ВЖЕ ЗАВТРА нардепи спробують закрити доступ до реєстру речових прав на нерухоме майно. І земельного кадастру.
Якщо рішення приймуть, ми з вами не будемо знати НІЧОГО про будинки, квартири та іншу нерухомість посадовців. Ця інформація - база для роботи журналістів-розслідувачів, а відтак і викриття корупційних історій.
Це добрячий ляпас по українській демократії та громадському контролю. Бо в такому вигляді, у якому проєкт є зараз, він не звʼяже руки росіянам, зате звʼяже журналістам.
❗️Просимо про максимальний розголос. Це рішення не має бути ухвалене, навіть під прикриттям "безпеки", як його намагаються подати.
Ну а завтра опублікуємо список тих, хто голосував. А @lana_stetsenko робитиме окремий випуск про цих депутатів 👀
