Former Ukrainian Minister of Defence Fedorov: For the first time, we built a real-time battlefield analytics system that tracks losses. We began receiving daily reports on casualties. But decisions about whom to support, whom to reinforce, and where to allocate resources are still not made on the basis of data. They are made on the basis of loyalty. You cannot build or develop a successful system that way. Another major problem is the blocking of initiatives and endless bureaucratic battles. During six months at the Ministry of Defense, we were unable to establish centers of competence or reform the organizational structure because the General Staff would not approve it—claiming the name wasn't right or something else was wrong. Instead of bringing in new people capable of generating ideas, the system kept resisting change.
