Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has been dismissed and is expected to be replaced by Ihor Klymenko.
Mykhailo Fedorov was a reformer who is credited with successes like directing money to purchase of medium and long range drones that are now being used very effectively, audits uncovering billions of dollars worth of overspending, moving some procurement to open tender, gamification of drone warfare with more points allotted to outcomes Ukraine prefers to incentivize (ex. killing enemy soldiers) and successfully lobbying Musk to shut down Starlink for Russia. However, he has had conflicts with the heads of the military such as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi; critics say that without a military background he is not qualified to plan a war, and that he is just good at attaching his name to pre-existing efforts that turned out well.
I don’t know yet but I also trust Zelenskyy above all, who has solely been instrumental in Ukraine surviving this long and know any of these events get heavily exploited by the Russian genocidists.
So I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Imagine him eyeing someone even better for the job. Russia must be shitting its pants.
As I wrote “I hope they know what they are doing”.
But it certainly doesn’t appear so. There is no logic explanation given for why this should be good, except Fedorov doesn’t have a military background. Which is UTTER bullshit!.
