Britain and the United States have pressed Ukraine to continue Mykhailo Fedorov's corruption crackdown after the popular defence minister's sacking. They are keen not to be seen to be intervening in Ukraine's domestic politics by urging Mr Zelensky to reverse Mr Fedorov's dismissal. Mr Fedorov made rooting out corruption in defence contracting a large part of his focus during his time in the ministry of defence. His dismissal triggered a domestic crisis in Ukraine after street protests erupted to denounce the move by Mr Zelensky. Multinational Force Ukraine is the result of the UK-French-led Coalition of the Willing's planning to support Kyiv during any ceasefire.
