Dmytro Koziatynskyi, the veteran who called on Ukrainians to protest against the dismissal of former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov, has announced that a protest march in support of dialogue and defence reforms is to be held in Kyiv on the evening of 31 July and urged other cities to join in.

The tenth mass protest against the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov as head of the Ministry of Defence took place in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on 25 July.

The president’s willingness to “listen” or make concessions has limits.
