Yes, hello.
Nice to connect to you.
Well, first of all, the main problem here is basic governmental mismanagement.
Because the president has no authority without the legal support from the Verkhovna Rada, Ukrainian parliament, and without the good arguments on why he is going to fire these people.
He has no authority to do so.
So basically, the main outrage was not only because it was Fedorov or it was somebody else, but because Zelenskyy
distinctively overstepped his own authority and he definitely violated several positions from Ukrainian constitution.
So that was the first this year, I mean, that was the first major crisis of Ukrainian democracy, which hopefully was prevented by the activity of Ukrainian civil society and the activity of Ukrainians on the street.
Well, as also being a senior lecturer at Kyiv University, Kyiv Mohyla Academy, I can only say that most of our students were there at the streets protesting these managerial decisions of Zelensky.
We see a lot of young people, we saw a lot of families with children being there.
They are well organized, they are well managed through the social media.
They involve a lot of people from different backgrounds, as I say, a lot of military guys who were also there.
So there is a very distinguishably diverse crowd on the streets of Kiev, Lviv, Zhytomyr, and basically all the major cities in Ukraine.
And to many of my compatriots, that was a sign that Ukrainian democracy is still very vibrant.
Although we didn't have elections since 2019, we still see that Ukrainians are not ready to give up on the democracy.
And even in wartime, Ukrainians are not ready to give up on their right to protest if the government is ready to do some shady stuff.
Well, basically, we have a new general, Drapaty.
He is a career military person from Ukrainian armed forces.
He was on the first armored vehicle that entered Mariupol when Mariupol was liberated from the Russian occupiers in 2014.
He is the general of the modern war.
