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.
@Somebody980390 Naše výhoda je v tom, že jsme neplánovali okupaci Ukrajiny, ne předávali vojenské informace ruSSku, nesabotovali ropovod přez Polsko, neblokoval sankce proti ruSSku,... Prostě nechovali jsme se jako spojenci russka.
@JVildumetzova@Vystrcil_Milos@AndrejBabis@novinkycz Ten ANO mediální team co dělá socky, to musí být dneska peklo sdílet tyhle nesmysly a vědět že to je naprosto mino... Co si dneska dělal? Psal emotivní blbosti na X a bylo to mimo jako vždy, ale tak práce, víš jak....
@ruzickapavel70@IvoZelinka@ArmadaCR Taky mohl zkusit rozdávat v metru koblihy, ale to by fungovalo jen na nábor důchodců. Na druhou stranu spousta z nich by našla ještě maskáče lidových milic a ušetřilo by se. Pure win win
@KarelHavlicek_ Co nejste u lizu, tak voliče strašíte, ale po volbách budete "obnovovat důvěru ve stát". Nebojte se požádat o pomoc, stačí zvednout ruku dlani k pozorovateli a zavřít, je to mezinárodní gesto. Tohle zneužívání si nikdo nezaslouží.
