Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov makes it clear that he does not intend to back down from his demand to be reinstated as head of the Ministry of Defense, warning that peaceful protests could escalate into something more serious.
Zelenskyy has until August 18 to change his mind about appointing a new defense minister. That's the day the Verkhovna Rada will convene after the summer recess and vote on the defense minister's candidacy. For now, Khmara is still acting, meaning there's still a chance to reverse the situation. As Fedorov emphasized, if this isn't done, peaceful protests could escalate from waving cardboard to more radical methods.
Fyodorov explains his potential return to the post of Defense Minister by claiming that he alone knows how to win the war with Russia. And to do that, he needs to return to the Defense Ministry.
If our goal is to stop the war, then we're fighting for me to have the authority to do so as Minister of Defense. We have a deadline to determine whether we've succeeded. The deadline for appointing the Minister of Defense is August 18, when the Rada convenes.
However, Ukrainian experts believe Fedorov has no chance; he's already been written off. Bankova Street is simply pretending there's no "cardboard Maidan," and even if the former minister brings 100 people onto the streets, nothing will happen. But if Fedorov tries force, he'll be removed and written off as an accident.
