Quite shocked by Zelensky’s decision. Fedorov’s removal feels like Ukraine just threw away one of the few reforms that was visibly working. He expanded drones, tightened procurement, challenged corruption, and pushed deep strikes. Replacing him now, with no clear public case, is a terrible look.

Calls for protests against Fedorov’s dismissal have appeared across 15 Ukrainian cities for July 16. Soldiers and civil society activists linked to the earlier NABU and SAPO protests are involved. Organizers urged people not to attend until local authorities formally approve the rallies. #Ukraine

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
