Ukraine’s ousted defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov says he has accepted a role advising Italy’s defence minister. Fedorov made the announcement on Friday, following his removal from office earlier this year. His dismissal in July comes amid reported tensions with Ukraine’s military leadership and has drawn unusually public wartime protests.
Both outlets describe Fedorov as a 35-year-old and “tech-savvy,” emphasizing the abrupt nature of his departure and the reasons cited for it, including friction with senior military figures. While the sources focus on his new position in Italy, they do not provide additional details on the adviser role’s scope, start date, or responsibilities. The reports also do not indicate any formal confirmation from Italy within the text provided, beyond Fedorov’s statement that he has accepted the job.
Overall, the coverage converges on the key sequence: he is sacked in Ukraine, then he moves into an advisory capacity linked to Italy’s defence ministry.
