PoliticsZelensky sacked him. Now Ukraine’s former defence minister calls for a wartime election

Ukraine’s popular former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for elections during wartime, widely viewed as the biggest challenge to Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidency since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Ukraine has been under martial law since the war began in 2022, suspending elections. Fedorov was unexpectedly dismissed last month, six months after his appointment, and Zelensky has not yet responded to the video.
