Ukrainian anti-corruption expert Olena Tregub explains why protesters have gathered across Ukraine and why they are demanding that Mykhailo Fedorov be reinstated. Also read to understand why the dismissal is wrong: nako.org.ua/en/direct/go... (part 1) #3E #EndImpunity #Ukraine #Fedorov
Protesters in Kyiv demand "corruption out" and the reinstatement of Fedorov.
Anti-corruption protestors in Kyiv are chanting: “Fedorov", Fedorov”. Growing crowds are demanding that he be reinstated as Ukraine's Defence Minister.
Russians and their sycophants are watching in disbelief as Ukraine manages to hold anti-corruption protests and kick their ass at the same time. While Ukrainians protest during a war, Russians complain about gasoline while continuing to grovel before the oligarchs in Moscow.
Mass anti-corruption protests are spreading across Ukraine, with the first gatherings reported in Kyiv, Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kryvyi Rih, Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv. Protesters are demanding answers over the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov as Minister of Defence.
Calls to protest the decision to sack an effective and popular MOD are already appearing all over Ukrainian online spaces.
Zelenskyy made a major strategic mistake by dismissing Mykhailo. The decision is defensible only if he has a coherent plan to tackle corruption and appoint a defence minister capable of achieving twice as much, twice as fast. For now, it looks bizarre and stupid.
Pete Hegseth: "Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly." "We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be." "picking targets, death and destruction from the sky all day long."
Four days after the Minab school massacre, Pete Hegseth declared Iran “toast,” promised “death and destruction from the sky,” and said U.S. forces were operating “without mercy” with maximum authority and heavy bombs from a “nearly unlimited stockpile,” even as civilian casualties mounted.
The safeguards intended to prevent strikes like Minab had been reduced by 90% before the attack. A Pentagon inspector general found the military had failed to implement its civilian harm programme, while US officials said funding, staffing and oversight had been gutted.
Minab is the deadliest single strike on children attributed to the US military in decades. Still, it sits at the end of a long record of children killed in US operations across multiple countries since 2017, the year Donald Trump first took office.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Tehran will never request negotiations with the United States, arguing that increased military pressure would not force Iran back to the negotiating table. Future US attempts to call for a ceasefire will likely be rejected. Full war.
From July 13–15, U.S. forces struck Iranian air-defence systems, coastal radars, missile and drone sites, and other military infrastructure in Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa Island, and Greater Tunb Island. At least 30 civilians killed, 260+ injured in latest wave.
On July 14, Iran launched missile and drone attacks against U.S. military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. The strikes also targeted the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters. The video shows the moment a drone struck a warehouse in Kuwait’s Al Shuaiba port area.
FBI agents were spotted at Lindsey Graham's home the day after his death.
The US and Iran are at war again, as of July 10th, and the peace deal has failed. Trump formally informed the US Congress that military operations will resume for at least 60 more days.
Russian man reports: "Logistics have completely ground to a halt. Freight trucking is collapsing. Diesel is expensive. There's no fuel. Everywhere there are limits - 40, 50, 200 liters. It's insane!" ( @antongerashchenko.bsky.social 📹)
Ukraine has struck 90 Russian vessels in six days, and Russia has reportedly suspended all shipping through the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait in response.
