Fed up to the back teeth by being used as NATO’s battering ram against their brother nation Ukrainian’s are finally taking to the streets to voice their anger and frustration.
Force-fed a 12-year diet of broken promises of joining the European Union citizen frustration is proving to be a bigger threat to Kyiv than Moscow.
Yet another regime reshuffle and the sacking of Ukraine’s defense minister by despot Zelensky has triggered nationwide protests.
NATO’s Growing Alarm
Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Kyiv and many other cities demanding that Mikhail Fedorov keep his position.
Ukraine’s unelected and likely unelectable leader, Vladimir Zelensky’s decision to fire Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov sparking nationwide protests.
Disillusion with Ukraine’s armed forces
Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Kyiv and other cities to demand that the minister be brought back. Some of the protesters also called for Ukraine’s top military commander, General Aleksandr Syrsky, to be dismissed instead.
Connections with Washington’s swamp
Fedorov was Ukraine’s youngest-ever defense minister. The 35-year-old technocrat took over from his predecessor in January and held the office for around six months.
During that time, he deepened Ukraine’s ties with sinister Palantir, a controversial US data-mining and military technology company.
He still failed to reform the corruption-prone ministry to meet NATO standards, as Fedorov himself admitted when confirming his departure.
Protesters flooding the streets
Photos and videos that surfaced on social media showed people flooding the streets of Kyiv and other cities like Dnepropetrovsk, holding Ukrainian flags, as well as placards and banners calling on Zelensky to reverse his decision.
Crowds are heard chanting ‘shame!’ in some videos. More than 1,000 demonstrators rallied outside of Zelensky’s office in the Ukrainian capital. Some protesters were also seen holding placards demanding Syrsky be fired.
Leaders snubbing each other
Zelensky justified his decision by pointing to a conflict between the defense minister and the military chief. Fedorov and Syrsky failed to find common ground and were not even communicating properly without his oversight, Zelensky said in a statement on Thursday.
If they want to take to the streets, good for them
The Ukrainian leader added that Ukrainians can do whatever they want. ’If they want to take to the streets, good for them.’
Fedorov accused Syrsky of ’splitting the country’ and called for his dismissal.
Syrsky did not mention the conflict in his own statement on Telegram on Thursday, but thanked Fedorov for his work and expressed hope that he would remain in government.
The Ukrainian outlet Strana claimed that Zelensky had become increasingly dissatisfied with Fedorov’s independent political game.
In particular, his ties to circles close to the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), agencies that have investigated a string of high-profile corruption cases involving senior Ukrainian officials.

I think what will happen if Russia takes Odessa and Novorussia(sp), you could see Poland and Hungary take back their parts of western Ukraine ostensibly as a “buffer” against Russia, but it will really be about settling old scores of post war redistribution of warsaw pact territories. Only was Russia will have any chance of peace is to remove all buffer states between themselves and NATO, so they better get on the stick in taking Ukraine and Moldova, and either take or make the Caucasus nations accept “finlandization”.
