Mykhailo Fedorov has resigned as Ukraine’s defense minister, ending a tenure that began in January of this year.
The 35-year-old technocrat, who previously served as minister of digital transformation for six years, leaves the post amid ongoing restructuring within President Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration.
The resignation follows weeks of speculation regarding a potential cabinet reshuffle.
Reports from multiple outlets, including the Kyiv Independent and TASS, indicated that Zelensky was considering replacing Fedorov.
The move signals a shift in the political dynamics surrounding Ukraine’s war effort and defense procurement strategies.
Fedorov’s departure is significant given his background in digital innovation, which he brought to the defense sector upon his appointment earlier this year.
