Ukraine's Dismissed Defence Minister Fedorov Takes Italian Defence Adviser Role
Mykhailo Fedorov, 35, Ukraine's former Defence Minister, accepted a position as defence innovation adviser to Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto weeks after his dismissal from the Ukrainian government sparked rare wartime protests. Fedorov's removal occurred during active conflict, a politically sensitive move that prompted public demonstrations in Ukraine. According to WION, Fedorov is expected to advise Italy on modern warfare technologies, with a focus on autonomous systems, air defence, and defence-sector innovation.
