Former Minister Fedorov Cites Resistance to Reforms as Key Factor
Former Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has stated that his efforts to overhaul the military’s procurement system were the primary reason behind his dismissal. Fedorov, who introduced a tender system for procurement, faced resistance from officials within and around the ministry. His dismissal was part of a broader cabinet shake-up, with Yevhenii Khmara replacing him as defence minister. The move has sparked protests and controversy, with Fedorov’s supporters citing his role in turning the tide of the war against Russia. This development was first reported by Reuters.
