Veteran Dmytro Koziatynskyi has called for another protest on 18 July, urging people to demand the dismissal of Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and the appointment of Mykhailo Fedorov as defence minister.

Organizers cite Zelensky's lack of explanation for sacking Fedorov as key grievance.

A protest in support of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has begun near the President's Office in Kyiv.
