Ucrania nombra nuevo ministro de defensa tras protestas por el despido de Fedorov

Según Foreign Affairs, el parlamento de Ucrania confirmó el 18 de agosto el nombramiento del ex oficial de operaciones especiales Yevhenii Khmara como ministro de defensa, tras semanas de protestas públicas contra la destitución de Mykhailo Fedorov, cuyas reformas centradas en drones habían transformado el esfuerzo bélico. Fedorov, despedido a principios del año, instó repetidamente a celebrar elecciones a pesar de la ley marcial, argumentando que los mecanismos democráticos eran esenciales incluso en conflicto. También dijo que una reciente investigación de lavado de dinero planteaba dudas sobre el conocimiento del presidente Volodímir Zelenskiy respecto a posible corrupción, informó la BBC.

El organizador de las protestas en Kyiv declaró posteriormente que la demanda electoral ya no se perseguía, según Guardian. El presidente Zelenskiy advirtió que Rusia podría movilizar 300 000 soldados adicionales más adelante en el año, informó CNN, y sostuvo que celebrar elecciones durante la guerra podría dividir al país, añadió Guardian.
