The move sparked protests from thousands of people across the country. <\/p>\n<p>About a week later, Zelenskyy subsequently removed Syrskyi from his post. <\/p>\n<p>Asked why he believes he was fired, Fedorov told CBS News, &#8220;I really don&#8217;t want to talk to the American audience about why.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Whatever the reason, it is important to understand that Ukraine will continue to fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fedorov was credited with turning the tide of the war in Ukraine&#8217;s favor, increasing Ukraine&#8217;s deep strikes into Russia tenfold and bolstering its domestic arsenal. <\/p>\n<p>Early Saturday, Zelenskyy posted on social media that Ukraine had struck a Russian space agency facility in Samara, located about 560 miles from Ukraine&#8217;s border, with new Ukrainian-produced Flamingo missiles. <\/p>\n<p>And in June, a Ukrainian defense technology company tested a ballistic missile. Asked when he thinks a Ukrainian-made ballistic missile will be used to strike a target inside Russia, he estimated somewhere between three and six months. <\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has struggled to intercept Russia&#8217;s own ballistic missiles. Most now reach their targets, putting pressure on Kyiv to build new air defenses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to predict, but I think everything is possible because we don&#8217;t have any time to think about it,&#8221; Fedorov said of Ukraine&#8217;s ability to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Fedorov told CBS News the protests over his removal are a sign that the Ukrainian people support democratic values and that Ukraine is fighting for its freedom. <\/p>\n<p>A former tech entrepreneur, Fedorov was mum on whether a return to government was in his future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soon we will see,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But in any case, all my work will be aimed at ending the war and rebuilding Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
