Protest Against The Dismissal Of Mikhail Fedorov

Around 500 people gather at Freedom Square in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on July 16, 2026, holding cardboard signs with messages in Cyrillic script protesting the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister. The demonstration is organized in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's decision to replace Fedorov in the defense ministry role. Protesters, including families and young adults, assemble outside a government building in the eastern Ukrainian city amid clear summer weather. (Photo by Yevhen Titov/NurPhoto)
