Fired Ukrainian defense minister says Ukraine is in a "technological war" with Russia
Key Points:
- Mykhailo Fedorov, former Ukrainian defense minister and architect of Ukraine's modern war strategy, described the conflict with Russia as a "technological war" requiring constant innovation and rapid decision-making.
- Fedorov was instrumental in advancing Ukraine's use of drones, robots, and increased deep strikes into Russia, significantly strengthening the country's defense capabilities before his dismissal in July.
- His firing by President Zelenskyy, due to a feud with the military's top general, sparked nationwide protests, highlighting public support for democratic values and Ukraine's ongoing fight for freedom.
- Ukraine recently demonstrated advances in military technology, including striking a Russian space agency facility with domestically produced missiles and testing a ballistic missile expected to be operational within months.
- Despite challenges in intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, Fedorov emphasized Ukraine’s urgency and determination to develop new defenses and continue fighting until the war ends.
