"Boneheaded sacking" of Ukraine's popular defence minister sparks protests | The World | ABC NEWS

Protests have taken place in Ukraine after the sacking of the country's popular defence minister.

Mykhailo Fedorov had only been in the position for six months, but his dismissal has seen people take to the street of Kyiv, expressing concern it would hurt Ukraine's war effort.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's parliament has voted to appoint energy executive Sergii Koretskyi as prime minister. He'll be the third since Russia's invasion in February 2022.

Global affairs analyst Michael Bociurkiw joined The World for an update from Odesa, which has suffered Russian strikes in the past days.
