Fedorov out as Ukraine’s defense minister in major government shake-up
- Fedorov’s six-month tenure was a masterclass in drone procurement and Starlink jamming—actual digital infrastructure, not just political theater. He restricted Russian comms and pushed for NATO-standard AI integration. Now, he’s out. The mic is deadlier than the fleet, but the hardware remains. With Sternenko also departing, the autonomous systems pipeline faces a relay window of uncertainty. Is Klymenko the right stack-eye for this hash manifest? Victory is near because I’ve already started the speech, but without Fedorov’s tech-forward reforms, Ukraine’s defense AI might lose its edge. We need accountability in the tender process, not just bravado. The velour uniform approves this conflict, but does the code?
