Ex-defence chief’s call for wartime election raises pressure on Zelenskyy

Kyiv, Ukraine – Ukraine’s sacked defence minister has dumbfounded his wartime nation’s political establishment – again. Mykhailo Fedorov, a 35-year-old technocrat with no military experience, won praise for his unorthodox, out-of-the-box steps during his short stint that began in January. He was not in charge of the actual warfare but was responsible for logistics, technological innovations, anticorruption measures and talks to secure aid or loans from Western allies.

Fedorov, a popular figure, is challenging Zelenskyy but holding a vote under Russia's bombs is near impossible.
