“Those two could not work together. A wartime president must not face such choices, honestly. I want unity, but the sides did not find it. I respect both,” Zelenskyy said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday. “They even refused to sit at the same table without me,” he added. “I had to make a choice.” That choice, to get rid of rogue reformer Fedorov, who in his six months in office launched major positive changes in the army, shocked many prominent Ukrainian service members and watchdogs, and surprised foreign partners. Ukrainians held another cardboard protest on Thursday,…

Emirates leads the pack for a second consecutive year, but the fine print, and the calendar, matter enormously.
