Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is considering changes to the country’s armed forces as protests continue for a third day, according to reports. The unrest is unfolding alongside a recent shake-up in the government, which includes the dismissal of a defence minister earlier this week. The Vancouver Sun reports that Zelenskyy is weighing army changes while demonstrators take to the streets. Free Malaysia Today adds that the dismissal involves Mykhailo Fedorov, a minister known for promoting military reforms and for his focus on technology-related aspects of Ukraine’s defence efforts. Both outlets frame the protests as an ongoing development that coincides with the leadership reshuffle, without detailing the protesters’ specific demands in the provided excerpts. Overall, the reporting indicates that the political changes at the defence and security level are closely linked to the public reaction, and Zelenskyy’s response is presented as a review of possible reforms to the military. The news coverage emphasizes the timing: cabinet changes occur, protests persist, and Zelenskyy weighs further adjustments to the army.
