* Pro: He was a popular symbol of reform and anti-corruption. He had some good ideas. He wasn’t afraid to clash with other officials. He preached action in preference to talk.
* Con: He is all hat and no cattle. He is arrogant. He is authoritarian. He is tight with fiercely anti-democratic tech bro Dump types.
Personally I think if he is a danger as a power player he is much more so outside the legitimate structure of politics and military chain of command. I would have rather kept him tied to the success of the Ukraine defense. Now he can strand outside and take pot shots with no accountability.

You fact is that a lot of his moves have been difficult but probably necessary. He hasn’t really made bad personnel moves has he? Has the effectiveness and strategy of the forces decreased and increased over time? Has the confidence he receives from the west increased or decreased?

Unpopular opinion here, but despite of being brave and charismatic, Zelensky still lacks the political skills.

The only guy that isnt corrupt and does his job in Zelensky’s government gets sacked, is admirable how far the Ukranian reached despite Zelenskyi

A few Ukrainian soldiers I follow on Xitter are actively calling for protests tomorrow to reinstate Fedorov and even call to sack Syrskyi instead.
People are coordinating protests in dozens of cities for tomorrow at 9:00 AM
What is the speculation as to why he was removed?
Brain dead move by Zelensky here. He fires a dude that fights corruption in the army.
This seems a more even-handed report: [https://www.politico.eu/article/zelenskyy-ousts-reformer-fedorov-from-defense-ministry-amid-government-reshuffle/](https://www.politico.eu/article/zelenskyy-ousts-reformer-fedorov-from-defense-ministry-amid-government-reshuffle/)
