Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly asked Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov to resign as part of an ongoing cabinet reshuffle, a move that has drawn criticism from some analysts and observers.

Fedorov has been widely credited with helping streamline and modernize Ukraine’s rapidly expanding defense industry, with many attributing much of its recent growth and effectiveness to reforms implemented during his tenure.

The Financial Times has also reported that Fedorov’s departure may be linked to disagreements over the awarding of major defense contracts. While those reports have fueled criticism of Zelensky’s leadership from some commentators, the claims remain unproven and have not been independently substantiated.
