Approximately 500 demonstrators gather at Freedom Square in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on July 16, 2026, to protest Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's decision to replace Mykhailo Fedorov as defense minister. Protesters, including families and young adults, assemble outside government buildings in the eastern Ukrainian city holding cardboard signs with messages in Cyrillic script expressing opposition to the personnel change amid Russia's ongoing military operations in Ukraine.
