Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mychajlo Fedorov became an advisor to Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto after a meeting in Rome. He announced his new role on Friday on the X network and according to disclosed information, he is to focus primarily on military innovations. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗
Fedorov is to help Italy in the development of technologies for modern warfare. The Italian Ministry of Defense thus gains a collaborator with experience from the Ukrainian government during a time of extensive armed conflict. His advisory role concerns an area that is important to Ukraine especially in the use of new defense solutions, technological systems and unmanned vehicles. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
New information also indicates that Fedorov is approaching venture capital investors in connection with building a drone army in the United States. He did not provide details about his role in leading the investment fund according to the report. Thirty-five-year-old Fedorov was the youngest Ukrainian Defense Minister and left office following a controversy with military command. ta3.com ↗
His departure from the Ukrainian government previously drew political attention in Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Fedorov and several reports described his end in office as forced. The subsequent move to Italy therefore comes shortly after a change in Ukrainian leadership of the defense ministry. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will show how Fedorov's experience translates into Italian military innovation projects and broader technological cooperation among countries supporting Ukraine.
