This is potentially not good politically, or well worse than it already is for Ukraine. The previous minister of internal affairs was a semi closeted dogwhistly fascist that appointed all out foghorn fascists to important positions in the ministry.
The guy that just died reversed that and was seemingly a lib loyal to Zelensky. It's gonna be interesting to see who gets the position next.
It does seem like Zelensky really doesn't want a fascist fifth-column operating in Ukraine. We'll see if his individual leadership is enough to push back against the systemic pressures, this will be a good litmus test for the current state of Ukrainian politics. Hopefully enough Nazis died on the front lines that he has room to maneuver.
Didn't he run on drawing down the hostilities in Donbas and the facsists kept doing it anyway? I can see why he'd be big mad at them, they basically gave Russia a casus belli.
If he didn't want the fascists to keep shelling Donbas then he should have stopped providing them with artillery shells. He personally funded Azov prior to being elected and kept supporting them all the way up to the invasion. I think he only dislikes disloyal fascists.
