Ukraine has appointed Mihajlo Fedorov, a former digital transformation minister with deep ties to the technology sector, to a key role overseeing the military's drone operations.
The move marks a significant shift in Kyiv's approach to the conflict, aiming to leverage commercial technology and digital marketing expertise to disrupt Russian supply lines.
Fedorov, known for his work in modernizing Ukraine's digital infrastructure, is now tasked with coordinating the deployment of medium-range drones that have increasingly targeted rear-area logistics.
This strategy seeks to degrade Russia's ability to sustain frontline operations by striking convoys and supply hubs deep behind enemy lines.
The appointment comes as Ukraine intensifies its aerial campaign, with recent assessments indicating severe attrition rates for Russian forces in specific sectors.
By integrating tech-sector methodologies into military planning, Kyiv aims to enhance the precision and scale of its drone strikes, potentially altering the dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
