Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says some actions by dismissed Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov were misguided, detailing the rift between them. Zelenskyy also references Fedorov’s involvement in protests and his calls for elections, according to multiple reports.

The outlets describe this as part of an internal disagreement following Fedorov’s removal from the defense post. While the reports converge on Zelenskyy’s characterization of Fedorov’s actions, they present it as a broader political and administrative dispute rather than a single event. Some coverage focuses on Zelenskyy’s direct comments about the minister’s behavior, while other briefings repeat the same points without adding new specifics.

Overall, the reporting aligns on the core elements: Zelenskyy publicly addresses the reasons he considers certain actions “misguided,” the dismissed minister’s connection to protests, and his public stance calling for elections. The accounts differ mainly in emphasis and length, but they treat the dispute as ongoing and centered on leadership and decision-making.
