It seems we in Ukraine are having a new national pastime for the month of July: Zelensky’s administration launched its gamble to try and strip the anti-corruption agencies of their independence almost exactly a year ago, triggering street protests.

[NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @NOELreports]

Calls for protests against Fedorov’s dismissal have appeared across 15 Ukrainian cities for July 16. Soldiers and civil society activists linked to the earlier NABU and SAPO protests are involved. Organizers urged people not to attend until local authorities formally approve the rallies. #Ukraine

This Ukrainian drone got steered into a flying Mi-28 of the Russian army, somewhere over the Belgorod region, Russia.

The Russian chopper was possibly looking for Ukrainian long-range drones to intercept. Well, the drone found him.

[Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo]

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.

Here is what our team managed to achieve:

1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.

2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.

3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.

4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.

5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.

6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.

7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.

8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.

9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.

10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.

11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.

12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.

13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.

14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).

15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.

16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.

17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.

18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.

19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.

20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.

21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.

22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.

Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.

Thank you all for your support!

I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.

To be continued.

The decision to remove @FedorovMykhailo as Defence Minister is difficult to describe politely.

For once, Ukraine had a defence minister whose reforms were visibly moving in the direction the military had been asking for years and a real attempt to make soldiers’ voices reach the top.

You do not remove that kind of momentum in the middle of a war unless you have an exceptionally good reason. So far, I do not see one.

This looks like a textbook self-inflicted wound: unpopular with the public, badly understood by the military, and damaging to changes that were just starting to move in the right direction.

It takes real talent to make a decision this senseless.

Van egy diszkrét bája, mikor az asszonykázik egy minisztert, akinek az apját rongyosra d*gták a kamerák előtt.
Persze 1 perc alatt tiltotta Margó nénit.

🇺🇦👀 Ukraine is deliberately not attacking the Crimean Bridge, - "Magyar"

"We are not touching the Crimean Bridge, if you haven't noticed. Let them flee across it. Let all those millions flee across that bridge without stopping to their Russia."
