Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has thrown the country into political turmoil. In newly surfaced footage, the once-popular official calls for new national elections.
The former minister, who was recently removed from his government post, made the statement in a video that has now gone public. His demand comes at a delicate time for the current administration.
Fedorov’s ouster was already a sensitive issue. Now, his public call for a vote has intensified the pressure on the government. Political analysts say the move could destabilize the ruling coalition.
The footage does not specify a timeline for the proposed elections. However, the mere suggestion has ignited debate across the political spectrum.
The government has not yet issued an official response to the video. Meanwhile, public reaction remains divided, with some backing the former minister and others warning against further instability.
The crisis is developing, and all eyes are on Kyiv to see how the leadership will navigate this unexpected challenge.
