Claims originating from the World Socialist Web Site describe the dismissal of a Defense Minister named Mykhailo Fedorov after six months in office and subsequent protests in Kyiv and other cities demanding the removal of Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Multiple analyses note that the reported facts conflict with established records of Fedorov's actual ministerial role. The single-source nature of the reporting limits verification of protest scale and demands.
