Fedorov Steps Down as Ukraine’s Defence Minister
Kyiv’s government reshuffle has brought an end to Mykhailo Fedorov’s tenure as Ukraine’s Defence Minister, concluding the service of one of the country’s most prominent technology-focused reformers.
Fedorov entered the ministry with a reputation for delivering results through innovation and digital transformation.
His priorities included accelerating drone production, digitizing defence procurement, strengthening domestic defence technology, improving air defence, and using battlefield data to support faster and more effective decision-making.
During his tenure, the Ministry of Defence advanced procurement reforms, expanded cooperation with Ukraine’s growing defence technology sector, increased the use of data-driven planning, and continued efforts to improve transparency while reducing bureaucratic delays.
