Ukraine's ousted defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has refused to accept an alternative post in Volodymyr Zelensky's government, insisting he wants his job back.
He thanked the president, but said there were "only three positions in the state - in addition to soldiers on the battlefield - which determine the course of the war: president, defence minister and commander-in-chief".
Zelensky said he had offered Fedorov several posts, including deputy prime minister.
Last week's removal of Fedorov - who is praised for transforming the armed forces - triggered mass protests.
