Ukraine's ousted defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov called for wartime elections on August 18 - the most serious internal challenge to ‌President Volodymyr Zelensky since Russia's invasion. The 35-year-old was a longtime ally of the president, becoming Ukraine's youngest minister when Zelensky appointed him to his first cabinet in 2019. His unexpected firing from the defense ministry ⁠in July, just six months after he had been appointed, came after he vowed sweeping reforms and grew in popularity, but also clashed with senior generals over strategy and procurement. #ukraine #russia #news
