Zelensky made PM role purely decorative, a “hand-waver” for cabinet decisions and the rest to vote on consensus built beforehand behind scenes

Incredibly insane how Fedorov has been probably the most effective in his role out of the most important Ukrainian political figures in the war, someone who was actually popular among Ukrainians and who actually and actively fought back against corruption in the government…
and yet Zelenskyy chose him over Soviet style Syrskyi 💀 (edit: grammar error)

Russians on Twitter are celebrating, this is a big mistake

So this is bad because Zelenskyy is changing someone from a position of influence to a merely a representative one?
I’m not very familiar with the case

Any idea why he ousted the PM?

Note that this the PM position which is not the subject of the main controversy. The vote to appoint replacement for defence minister Fedorov is postponed due to parliament dissent.

This is a massive footgun, Federov especially.
When you look at the war right now, and see things that make you think “Ukraine could win this”, that’s basically all Federov and he has only been there since January.
Long/medium range strikes, reduced corruption through open contracts, reduced shell costs, statistics/value driven approaches, the starlink whitelist – all Federov.
It sounds like there was conflict with a general and someone had to go, but this is a terrible decision. And most of the pro-UA analyst sphere seems to agree with this statement.

How’s the military sandbox forever war going btw? Are my tax dollars being used to discover any cool new AI drone warfare technology?
They are NOT beating the corruption allegations damn. Is a gas CEO billionaire really prime minister material during wartime?

So far today I’ve read that:
* Svyrydenko being replaced was good
* Svyrydenko being replaced was bad
* Fedorov was replaced because he was corrupt
* Fedorov was replaced because he was anti-corruption and the political establishment wanted him gone
* Military leadership loved Fedorov
* Military leadership hated Fedorov
* Zelenskyy replaced Fedorov because he was getting too popular and Zelenskyy was scared he might become a rival
* Zelenskyy was forced to replace Fedorov despite not wanting to because of pressure from other politicians who didn’t like that he opposed them sometimes.
Fingers crossed all of this turns out well for Ukraine.

Watch this video from a Ukrainian for a heartfelt reaction to this announcement… it sucks… (Denys reports on the war every day.)
