Ukraine: Defense Minister Fedorov Dismissed as Protests Erupt
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhaïlo Fedorov has been dismissed, triggering widespread protests across Ukraine. Two sisters—Sasha Kurovska in Kyiv and Olga Kurovska in Paris—share their experiences of the unrest. While Sasha witnesses the creativity of protest slogans from within Ukraine's capital, Olga travels from Paris to Kyiv with her son to join the demonstrations. Their testimonies are part of Le Monde's ongoing cross-letter series, which documents the war in Ukraine through two distinct perspectives: one from the ground in Kyiv, the other from exile in Paris. The exact date of Fedorov's dismissal and the full scale of the protests remain unclear.
