A protest against the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov as defence minister is taking place in Kyiv's Ivan Franko Square for the third day in a row. The protesters are also demanding the removal of Oleksandr Syrskyi as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.

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