Rally for Fedorov's return as minister near Rada draws about 20 participants
Participants in protests calling for dialogue and reform in the defense sector, who had previously held gatherings on Ivan Franko Square in central Kyiv and marched down Khreshchatyk Street on Sunday, gathered for a rally on Hrushevskoho Street near the Verkhovna Rada building on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, a rally calling for Mykhailo Fedorov's return as defense minister gathered about 20 participants near the Verkhovna Rada building in Kyiv, according to an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent. This was in contrast to previous demonstrations on Ivan Franko Square and Khreshchatyk Street, which saw tens of thousands of protesters.
The participants at the Hrushevskoho Street rally demanded transparent decision-making at the Defense Ministry and army, as well as Fedorov's appointment to the defense minister position. They chanted slogans such as "Servant of the people, serve the people," "Shame," "Transparent decisions," "Reforms," and "Bring back Fedorov."
The protest organizers stated that an indefinite protest began on July 24, until Fedorov was appointed defense minister.
