Ousted Ukraine defense minister accuses army chief of trying to 'split the country'
Ukraine's ousted defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov on Thursday accused commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky of trying to divide the war-torn country, detailing a feud between the pair that led to his removal and triggered protests supporting him.
"Instead of figuring out how to defeat Russia asymmetrically -- which is the commander-in-chief's task -- he figured out how to split the country we're all living in today," Fedorov told journalists, including AFP, at a briefing in Kyiv.
