People were not heard, authorities want to wait it out: rally in support of Fedorov will take place in Kyiv at 8:00 p.m.
At 8:00 p.m., a protest in support of Mykhailo Fedorov will take place on Franko Square in Kyiv.
This was announced by Dmytro Koziatynskyi, a serviceman with the "Ulf" medical service, according to Censor.NET.

"Unfortunately, the people were not heard—neither the civilians nor the military personnel who spoke out loudly about the need for real change in the army. They kept the commander-in-chief, who is plotting intrigues and has turned the assault regiments into his own personal mini-army.
The state leadership isn’t communicating with the public, and that’s making the situation even worse. Right now, their strategy is to wait it out. They think we’ll protest and then disperse.
They are mistaken, just as they were when Syrskyi decided he could silence everyone and destroy the last hopes for the transformation of the military," he emphasized.
At 8:00 p.m., another protest rally will take place on Franko Square in Kyiv.
