The removal of a high-ranking official has sparked widespread protests in Ukraine, with many believing that external donors may be quietly supporting the move to limit President Zelensky's personal power.
The Ukrainian leader is now facing a daunting task of filling key positions with qualified individuals, but with few alternatives available, he has been forced to rely on officials loyal to him, despite their lack of experience.
This decision has raised concerns about the prioritization of loyalty over professionalism, as the appointed official may use their new position to target Zelensky's political opponents.
