Starting at 7:00 p.m., protesters are gathering in the main squares of Ukrainian cities and calling for Syrskyi’s dismissal, the reinstatement of Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister, and systemic changes in the military.
This is according to the protest organizers.
The main demand in recent days has been the dismissal of Oleksandr Syrskyi – protesters are constantly chanting “Syrskyi, get out!”
Equally important is the demand to reinstate Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister.
It is worth noting that the protesters are calling on the authorities to engage in dialogue with society and to implement systemic changes, rather than merely “replacing names.”
The organizers emphasize that these are peaceful protests and ask all protesters to clean up after themselves.
The protests are taking place amid meetings between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and military commanders, as well as rumors that Oleksandr Syrskyi may be dismissed in the coming days.
As a reminder, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has publicly commented for the first time on rumors of a conflict with Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. He stated that he is not involved in politics, does not seek to build his own image, and decided to speak out only because his silence had begun to be interpreted as agreement with the widespread accusations.
