Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has been dismissed and is expected to be replaced by Ihor Klymenko.
Mykhailo Fedorov was a reformer who is credited with successes like directing money to purchase of medium and long range drones that are now being used very effectively, audits uncovering billions of dollars worth of overspending, moving some procurement to open tender, gamification of drone warfare with more points allotted to outcomes Ukraine prefers to incentivize (ex. killing enemy soldiers) and successfully lobbying Musk to shut down Starlink for Russia. However, he has had conflicts with the heads of the military such as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi; critics say that without a military background he is not qualified to plan a war, and that he is just good at attaching his name to pre-existing efforts that turned out well.


No, the Comedian Actor Zelensky, who has explicitly the exact same qualifications to be a world leader as Donald Trump, has not ‘prosecuted’ this war. He has been an incredible front man for this war, for the competent people that have run this war and resistance against Russia. He is an amazing actor, and has utilized those skills to well market this war to previously unsure NATO countries.
However he has no qualifications or skill to actually lead a war, and he used to admit that. Consistently firing his generals over petty disputes, at best, seems like the shortest possible path to a complete balkanization of Ukraine into its disparate regions as the people with actual power and competency in Ukraine start new rebellions (especially given democracy has been indefinitely paused so the people have had no say in any of this for years now.)
