I think Ukraine made these moves to get rid of Fedorov because they finally are winning in the eyes of NATO, Ukrainians, the US, and even Russia. The population is fearful that with a Russian-trained commander-in-chief who has a Russian style of power consolidation and corruption, that lead will just disappear.
At this point, I don't trust Zelensky, unfortunately. He keeps sacking the most successful and popular military leaders or stalling anti-corruption legislation whenever we are at a turning point in the war. He does a great job of bringing in foreign money but has lost his own people's confidence, in my opinion.
Why he doesn't reinstate Fedorov already is a massive tell, since this all started when his former chief of staff—someone who is implicated in a $10.5 million real-estate laundering scheme—met with the now-fired commander-in-chief, which mysteriously led to the announcement of Fedorov's dismissal.
How does someone who is not in the government and who is actively being investigated get to meet with the commander-in-chief? Mysteriously, the most successful person behind Ukraine drone strategy is fired afterwards?
Federov amazingly started as Zelenskyy's campaign social media guy at 28 who had no military background before this war. He was also the guy who met with Elon Musk to get Starlink to pick a side. He bypassed the military that did not believe in the drone strategy and used civilian fundraising to innovate Ukraine's war strategy.
Without Federov, Ukraine has already lost this war.
