Public protests can emerge when citizens disagree with government decisions, particularly regarding leadership changes that affect national security and military effectiveness, as demonstrated by thousands of Kyiv residents demonstrating against the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who they believed was implementing progressive changes including midstrike drones and attacks on Russian oil facilities.

First work, then rest.
First work, then rest.
Rice, Rusoris Rusoris Rusoris Ruso I'm here for change in general, against completely ideological decisions that are trying to destroy our state from within. This is actually my first day here, not my second. And my goal is to show that there are many of us, that our voice must be heard, and that such radical changes without agreement with the people, that is, the only source of power, are simply unacceptable.
We will stand and we will stand and we will stand and we will stand, we will start work, and then rest. First, work.
First, work.
We spend our rest days first. And I would like the government to explain why it is firing a minister just like that one day and without any explanation. And I believe that Fedorov is a progressive politician.
He's implementing good changes. Even take, for example, the start of the war, the shutdown of sterling. Eh, I can't imagine any other minister doing anything, anything like that. And only then did we begin to have some hope that perhaps one day the war would end in victory. And I believe that this is a basis for our state. [applause] Rural, rural Middlestrikes, uh, work on, uh, Russia's oil refining industry.
This is what brings us closer, the only thing that brings us closer to victory. Now I don't know if it will work by inertia, and after that I don't know what will happen. Well, I would n't want to dwell on specific personalities. It's just that Fedorov, he came at a moment when it was not at its peak. Well, that's the reason I'm here.
Ukraine above all.
Ukraine above all.
Ukraine above all. Well, we need to completely replace the army, because now it's a huge machine that eats up everyone who is competent, everyone who is proactive.
Hey, in our example, she ate it, she can't hear what I'm saying. Well, in today's example, she ate the Minister of Defense. It shouldn't work like that. I thought I had problems with the army because I was somehow different.
But the current situation has shown that we have enormous problems. To play the peasant. Silsky to play the village for now to play everyone to play the village to play everyone to play everyone to play the village to play.
[applause]
