**Mykhailo Fedorov served as Ukraine’s Defense Minister from January to mid-July 2026 before President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed him during a cabinet reshuffle linked to reported friction with then-Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi over reforms and operations.** Protests erupted in Kyiv and other cities demanding his reinstatement, pressuring Zelenskyy to replace Syrskyi with Mykhailo Drapatyi and install Yevhenii Khmara first as acting and then, on 19 August 2026, as confirmed Defense Minister following parliamentary approval. Fedorov has repeatedly stated he would accept only the Defense Minister post and has rejected alternative roles, while taking an advisory position with Italy’s defense ministry and publicly criticizing inefficiencies, corruption risks, and the need for wartime elections. Public demonstrations have largely subsided since his election call. With Khmara now in office and no scheduled reversal process, reinstatement would require a new presidential decision amid ongoing military and political pressures.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Mykhailo Fedorov is reinstated as Ukraine’s Minister of Defense by the listed date at 11:59 PM Kyiv time. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.”
Fedorov will be considered reinstated if he is either i) officially assigned to temporarily perform the minister’s duties or ii) formally nominated for appointment by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Verkhovna Rada.
A temporary reinstatement will be considered to have occurred when the President of Ukraine or the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine officially and definitively announces that Mykhailo Fedorov has been assigned to temporarily perform the duties of the Minister of Defense. A formal nomination will be considered to have occurred upon the submission of Mykhailo Fedorov’s nomination to the Verkhovna Rada.
A public statement, media report, expression of intent, or informal announcement will not qualify, unless it constitutes an official and definitive announcement by the President of Ukraine or the Cabinet of Ministers assigning Fedorov to perform the minister’s duties. Fedorov does not need to be approved by the Verkhovna Rada, take the oath of office, or assume the position on a permanent basis to qualify.
Whether any individual other than Mykhailo Fedorov is nominated, temporarily assigned, or appointed Minister of Defense, within the market timeframe, will not be considered.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information and records from the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and the Verkhovna Rada; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Mykhailo Fedorov served as Ukraine’s Defense Minister from January to mid-July 2026 before President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed him during a cabinet reshuffle linked to reported friction with then-Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi over reforms and operations.** Protests erupted in Kyiv and other cities demanding his reinstatement, pressuring Zelenskyy to replace Syrskyi with Mykhailo Drapatyi and install Yevhenii Khmara first as acting and then, on 19 August 2026, as confirmed Defense Minister following parliamentary approval.
