Ousted Ukraine Def Min urges wartime election, warning of governance crisis

Ukraine's ousted Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov called Tuesday for elections to be held even as the war against Russia continues, saying the country was gripped by a crisis of governance. The move by one of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's most loyal and longstanding team members until recently could become the most significant internal challenge Zelenskyy has faced since Russia's full-scale invasion. The appeal came in a video address posted to YouTube by Fedorov, who lost his post in July.
