Ousted Ukrainian Defence Minister Warns of Challenges in War Against Russia

Ousted Ukrainian Defence Minister Warns of Challenges in War Against RussiaPreviousNext

Ousted Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov warned that Ukraine is gradually losing its war with Russia and has a limited window of months to adopt new strategies and technologies to change the conflict's course. He cited a lack of clear vision, entrenched corruption, political interference, and slow technological adoption as key challenges. Fedorov's assessment contrasts with official Ukrainian statements, which emphasize a more positive outlook. Meanwhile, fighting continues with Russian advances in Donbas and Ukrainian strikes inside Russia.
