[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.

Liebe Freunde,

wenn die ukrainische Halbinsel #Krim vor der Befreiung steht, wird #Putin|s Interesse an einer friedlichen Lösung seines Angriffskriegs sprunghaft steigen. Diese Gesprächsbereitschaft herzustellen ist Aufgabe der Gegenoffensive der Überfallenen.

@BuBernd übernehmen Sie!

My father in law today decided to “never, ever, again criticize the Ukrainian bureaucracy” after his return. Why? He made intensive contact with the inner workings of 🇩🇪 ones.
The Ukrainians I know are simply shocked with the rather modest digitization levels of the German state.

Wir führen #Chernigivske, das beliebteste Bier der #Ukraine, in Deutschland ein. Den gesamten Gewinn spenden wir an Nichtregierungsorganisationen, wie Caritas International - mindestens 5 Millionen USD werden aus dieser Initiative gespendet. Mehr Info: https://t.co/1mBbuQ7fRZ

Additional US security assistance to #Ukraine intended to help its military in the "coming days and weeks" continue to repel the invaders from #Russia, says @PentagonPresSec.

Hallo Herr #Steinmeier, mit ein paar Leoparden und Mardern kommt man auch auf die Gästeliste.

@BerlinerNotizen In Deutschland müsste sich mal jemand den Hut aufsetzen.
