Ukraine in July 2026: the most important developments in society
In Ukraine in July 2026, the main public event was a wave of protests. On July 16 demonstrators took to the streets in several cities after President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Defense Minister Fedorov, a popular official. The protests came on the day the country's new government was approved, and the dismissal deepened the political crisis in wartime.
Other developments were smaller. A fire tornado burned in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Zurich ruled out automatic welfare payments for Ukrainian refugees. A poll in Russia found that 81 percent of respondents support ending the war in Ukraine, while support for victory fell to a record low of 9 percent.
