Protesters in Kyiv called for the dismissal of Ukraine's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, after Volodymyr Zelenskyy removed the popular defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov in a move to back Syrsky
How about covering why Federov was sacked, instead of covering this crowd's reaction? People are easily manipulated through social media so their opinions mean less to me than the actual facts of what happened and why.
Why would they be protesting, I can't think why... just after Covid our government said they were winning and all the buses had Ukrainian flags on. Yet thousands of deaths later, if I were a Guardian reporter I'd be asking people living on the front line what they think.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. It’s one thing to read about these incidents, but seeing the actual footage makes it feel so much more visceral.
