Protests have erupted in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities following the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
Demonstrators gathered outside the Ivan Franko National Theatre in the capital, demanding that President Volodymyr Zelensky reverse his decision.
The unrest marks a sharp escalation in public sentiment against the administration's recent personnel moves.
The demonstrations reflect immediate and widespread backlash against the cabinet reshuffle.
Fedorov's departure is part of a broader restructuring that also saw Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko step down.
The simultaneous exit of two top officials has raised questions about the stability of the government's leadership during ongoing conflict.
