Zelensky Calls Both Sides Of The Feud That Cost Fedorov His Post
Zelensky's channel lists a lengthy call with Mykhailo Fedorov, the minister he removed three days earlier, plus a separate call with Syrskyi.
- Zelensky says consultations ran through July 17 and 18, 2026, per his own account.
- Fedorov was Ukraine's defense minister until Zelensky removed him on July 15 amid protests.
- Zelensky also spoke today with Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces.
Why it matters: Calling both sides of a feud does not resolve it, only postpones deciding who commands.
