In a week that’s seen rare wartime demonstrations in Ukraine protesting the ousting of Defence Minister Mykhailo (Misha) Fedorov after six months in a job in which he’s been credited with making a difference on the battlefield and in an anti-corruption drive. But he had reportedly clashed with Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, over how the war should be waged.

Downing Street’s Larry the Cat is about to get a new housemate, his seventh in ten years. Andy Burnham says he will do things differently, that he’s focused on driving growth in every postcode in the country, although we’re yet to hear any detail of how from the about-to-be-parachuted-in PM after Sir Keir Starmer gave his swan song in Westminster on Wednesday at the House of Commons, delivering his last Prime Minister’s Questions.

Mykhailo Fedorov, celebrated by many for innovative, tech-driven approach, was sidelined for military old guardVolodomyr Zelenskyy’s abrupt dismissal of Ukraine’s youthful and innovative defence minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, at precisely the moment Kyiv appeared to be gaining advantages in several spheres of its war with Russia has exposed, not for the first time, a troubling flaw in the president’s leadership.The move, which has startled senior European officials and caused consternation, and demonstrations, in Ukraine, is all the more shocking given Fedorov’s role in pushing a clear strategy to prosecute the war, leveraging Ukraine’s rapidly developing technological advances in drone and missile technology.

In final visit to Kyiv while in office, the outgoing British prime minister also says the UK’s resolve to support Ukraine ‘will not waver’. What we know on day 1,605Keir Starmer has said he believes Ukraine will win the war against Russia as he ended his final visit to the country while in office. Starmer met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Thursday and told Sky News in an interview: “I believe Ukraine will win this war.” He added: “What they’ve shown is that it’s not just the size of your army, it’s how you fight a modern conflict. And so they are probably the most effective fighting machine in Europe.”Starmer’s visit came on his final full day as Labour leader, with the British leader saying the handover would not change the relationship between the two nations. “The fact that there will be a new prime minister in the United Kingdom, in the days to come, doesn’t change that dynamic at all,” he said. “The resolve of the United Kingdom remains the same, it will not waver.”Starmer also announced 300 million-euro funding to help deliver a squadron of 16 advanced Swedish Gripen jets to Ukraine by 2029. The Gripen aircraft can be used for air-to-air combat, ground strikes and reconnaissance missions.Zelenskyy defended on Thursday his decision to dismiss the country’s popular defence minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, and confirmed reports that relations had broken down between the ministry and the country’s top army leadership. His decision to back the commander of Ukraine’s armed forces Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi has outraged civil society. More than 1,000 protesters gathered outside the presidential office in Kyiv on Thursday, carrying placards in support of Fedorov. Ukraine’s youthful defence minister was seen as an innovator of the country’s successful drone technology but was someone who clashed with the traditional military establishment.The personnel overhaul, which included replacing the prime minister, could become a test of Zelenskyy’s political authority as Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s full-scale invasion approaches four and a half years.
