Protests erupt in Ukraine as Zelensky removes defence minister, 'his most popular'
Large protests erupted in several Ukrainian cities on July 16 against the removal of popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov by President Volodymyr Zelensky. Only appointed six months ago, Fedorov carved a reputation as a moderniser who tried to reform the Ukrainian military, worn down by more than four years of the Russian invasion. FRANCE 24's Emmanuelle Chaze tells us more from one of the protests.
