Zelenskyy ousts reformer Fedorov as defense minister amid Ukraine government reshuffle – POLITICO

KYIV — Mykhailo Fedorov, credited with bringing a technology overhaul to Ukraine's military but also clashing with top generals, is out as the country's defense minister in a government reshuffle launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The government resigned earlier this week, and Zelenskyy will not submit Fedorov's name as the next defense minister, an MP from the ruling Servant of the People party told POLITICO after a faction meeting on Wednesday.

“The reasons are obvious: conflict with army command and failed military mobilization reform,” the MP said on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal political issues. They added that they supported Zelenskyy's decision, saying: “Fedorov did only an imitation of reforms, just slides.”
