Mykhailo Albertovych Fedorov[a] (born 21 January 1991)[2] is a Ukrainian politician, and businessman who served as the Minister of Defence of Ukraine between 14 January 2026 and 15 July 2026.[3][4]

He served as a Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation from 2019 to March 2023.[5][6][7][8] On 21 March 2023 his duties and title was expanded to Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology – Minister for Digital Transformation.[9] From 17 July 2025 to 13 January 2026, Fedorov had served as the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and the Minister of Digital Transformation in the government of Yulia Svyrydenko.[10][11]

Biography

Fedorov graduated from Zaporizhzhya National University.[12] In 2012 during a local student festival "2012 Student Republic", he was elected a "student mayor of Zaporizhzhia" at the festival replacing Andriy Bondarenko.[13]

Fedorov is the founder of SMM Studio.[14]

In 2014 Fedorov, as a member of the 5.10 political party, unsuccessfully ran for the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's national parliament) in 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election being 166th on the party list (at its tail).[15] The 5.10 political party (leader Hennadiy Balashov) did not pass the 5% passing threshold gaining only .42% during elections and placing 14th place among participating parties.

Following the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election Fedorov became an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[16]

Fedorov was on a party list of the Servant of the People political party during the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election,[17] without being a registered member of the party (non-partisan, according to the Central Election Commission).[18] Fedorov was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the election.[19]

On 29 August 2019, Fedorov was appointed as Minister of Digital Transformation in the Honcharuk Government.[5] He surrendered his deputy mandate upon his ministerial appointment. Fedorov's most important project as minister was set to be the so-called "state in a smartphone" project that was aiming that 100% of all government services should be available online by 2024, with 20% of services provided automatically, without the intervention of an official, and 1 online fill-in form to receive a package of services "in any life situation".[20] On 5 November 2019 Fedorov wrote on Facebook that the "state in a smartphone" project would not be funded by the state budget in 2020 (but he hoped it would be in 2021) but that it would rely "on an effective team and international technical assistance, public-private partnerships, volunteering."[21] The following day Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk stressed that each government ministry had planned expenditures for digitization and that the Ministry of Digital Transformation did have a separate budget and that thus the state budget was sufficient to launch the "state in a smartphone" project in 2020.[22]

In August–September 2022, Fedorov attended the Digital Transformation Strategy training course at the Yale School of Management.[23]

Fedorov was dismissed as Minister on 20 March 2023 by parliament.[8] The same day the Verkhovna Rada received Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal's submissions on the appointment of Fedorov as the Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology and (a return as) Minister of Digital Transformation.[24] On 21 March 2023 he was appointed to these posts.[9]

Minister of Defence of Ukraine

On 2 January 2026, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy offered Fedorov the position of Minister of Defense. On 14 January, Fedorov was appointed as Minister of Defence of Ukraine by the Verkhovna Rada.[25][3] He made an announcement the same day that the pressures on the Ukrainian defence forces included two million Ukrainians evading mobilisation and 200,000 serving soldiers having gone AWOL.[26] He is the fourth minister to hold this position since the Russian invasion.[27] Seven months after his appointment as the Ukraine's Defence Minister, Fedorov was dismissed following the resignation of the Prime Minister and several other ministers as part of President Zelenskyy's governmental reshuffle.[28]

AIR LAND ECONOMY

Together with his team, Fedorov developed and presented a defence strategy called AIR LAND ECONOMY. The strategy focuses on three pillars: protecting the sky, deterring the enemy on the ground, and exhausting the Russian economy.[29]

In the area of air defence, several initiatives were implemented by June 2026. The strategic goal was set to achieve a 95% interception rate of aerial targets. A deputy commander of the Air Forces, callsign "Lazar" (Pavlo Yelizarov), was appointed to oversee the development of "small" air defense systems, which include mobile fire groups, anti-aircraft artillery, and interceptor drones.[30] Under an experimental "private" air defence project for enterprises, 30 organisations of various ownership types from Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Zakarpattia, and other regions joined the network; these groups successfully downed a jet-powered Shahed drone traveling at speeds over 400 km/h.[31] Following a directive from President Zelenskyy, testing began on low-cost interceptor missiles designed to shoot down Shahed drones, aiming to scale up production ahead of the autumn-winter period.[32] Between February and April 2026, the construction rate of anti-drone net protection along highways doubled to 8.5 km per day, ultimately securing over 1,170 km of logistic routes.[33] Additionally, a member of the Brave1 defense-tech cluster developed the first Ukrainian guided aerial bomb (KAB), which completed testing and was cleared for combat deployment.[34]

The second pillar of the AIR LAND ECONOMY strategy focuses on strengthening the frontline, aiming to inflict at least 200 casualties on the adversary for every square kilometre of territorial advancement.[35] According to verified data from the "yeBaly" tracking system, Russian military personnel killed or severely wounded numbered 34,544 in December 2025, 35,351 in March 2026, and 35,203 in April 2026.[36] A key factor in the increasing adversary losses was the deactivation of Starlink for Russian users in February 2026, responding to the enemy's exploitation of the technology to coordinate drone attacks against civilians; in cooperation with SpaceX, a terminal verification mechanism via a whitelist system was introduced.[37]

Within this ground domain, a series of digital and organisational reforms were implemented. The "Mission Control" module was launched within the DELTA system to enable real-time management of drone operations, including asset tracking, coordination with EW and air defense units, and efficiency analytics.[38] The Ministry of Defence, together with the General Staff, launched the "Logistics Lockdown" initiative to systematically dismantle Russian supply capabilities within an operational depth of up to 150 km, allocating ₴5 billion for the initial stage to procure middle-strike capabilities.[39][40] Through the DOT-Chain Defence digital marketplace, the military received 485,000 UAVs and other hardware valued at ₴31.4B in 2026.[41] More than 2,000 specialist positions were opened to build an IT vertical within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The "A1" Defence AI Centre was established with support from the UK government to train artificial intelligence models on real combat data.[42] Paper-based duplicate reporting was abolished in military units using digital accounting software,[43] the drone distribution workflow was fully digitised—reducing delivery times from warehouses to frontline units two- to three-fold down to roughly one day,[44][45] and purchasing procedures for explosives were streamlined for ammunition manufacturers.[46] Serhii Sternenko was appointed advisor to the minister on the tactical application of UAVs.[47] Under the ministry's oversight, the Defence Procurement Agency contracted for a record-breaking number of multicopters in January and February.[48]

Exerting economic pressure on Russia constitutes the third pillar of the AIR LAND ECONOMY strategy. In March 2026, Ukraine launched successful long-range strikes against key Russian export oil terminals in Primorsk, Ust-Luga, and Novorossiysk, disrupting maritime logistics, decelerating export volumes, and elevating Russia's financial costs of waging war.[49]

In February 2026, during a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (Ramstein format), international partners confirmed a US$38B assistance budget for Ukraine for 2026, with the core drone, air defence, and Patriot missile coalition comprising the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden.[50] Following the April 2026 UDCG meeting, US$4B was allocated toward strengthening air defence alongside over US$1.5B for UAVs, while the UK announced its largest-ever drone delivery package to Ukraine.[51][52] In May 2026, Norway funnelled over US$302M into the PURL fund mechanism, including funding for Patriot missiles, while Canada injected US$200M into the same procurement channel.[53] Fedorov systematically coordinated diplomatic cooperation with foreign governments, defense ministries, and global tech corporations to drive foreign direct investment into Ukraine's defense industry. Additionally, under the UNITE program in 2026, the first "Brave NATO" tech competition was introduced, establishing a collaborative framework for companies from Ukraine and NATO countries to co-develop defense products for the Ukrainian battlefield, with a primary focus on countering UAVs.[54]

During an official visit to Germany in April, Fedorov signed three defense agreements totaling approximately €4B, focused on bolstering air defence, developing deep-strike weapon capabilities, and manufacturing drones.[55] Germany agreed to finance a contract for several hundred Patriot missiles, deliver 36 IRIS-T launchers, invest €300M into long-range capabilities, and engage in the joint production of 5,000 AI-assisted mid-strike drones.[56]

Dismissal from the Defence Minister position

On 15 July 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unexpectedly dismissed 35-year old Fedorov from his position at the Defence Minister, after the former served just 6 months in the office.[57] It happened days after Ukraine’s parliament accepted the resignation of prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko. It has been speculated, that the Fedorov's layoff is related to his previous conflict with the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi over military reforms, procurement process, and mobilisation.[58][59]

Defence Forces Transformation

In June 2026, the Ministry of Defence initiated the first phase of a comprehensive transformation of the Ukrainian military. Its central objectives included restoring public trust in state defence structures, preserving valuable human resources along the line of contact, ensuring institutional fairness, and increasing motivation for voluntary service in the Armed Forces. As part of these structural reforms, the military transitioned to a new contract-based system with clearly defined service periods. The ministry also introduced high levels of financial remuneration for frontline infantry, averaging around ₴300,000 (over US$7,000) per month, while raising the baseline monthly pay for rear-echelon military personnel to 30,000 UAH. Furthermore, pay rates were doubled for combat unit commanders, their deputies, and chiefs of staff. To address personnel retention and welfare, the ministry implemented a structured system of service deferments and phased discharges for veterans who had been serving continuously since 2014 and 2022. Bureaucratic friction was reduced through the launch of an automated transfer system between military units that bypassed redundant approvals, alongside a fast-track reinstatement mechanism allowing service members who went AWOL (SZCh) to return directly to operational combat units. Operationally, the Mission Control system was utilised to manage and coordinate tactics along the first line of defence, and the military recruitment market was opened to foreign nationals to reinforce combat elements and safeguard Ukrainian personnel.[60][61][62][63]

In an interview on 17 June 2026, Fedorov noted that, following an analysis of the situation within the department, certain individuals had "come to light" who were "on the radar" of the law enforcement agencies. At that point, he says, it was decided to put them through a polygraph test. "Those who refused were sacked immediately. Those who agreed but performed poorly were sacked. Those who performed adequately were allowed to keep their jobs," said Fedorov.[64] There have long been doubts about the reliability of polygraphs: they systematically produce incorrect results: false positives and false negatives (failures to detect lies, as well as blaming honest people of lying). Consequently, most scientists regard polygraphs as pseudoscience, they are not admissible as evidence in most courts, and their use is opposed by institutions of the EU, such as the European Data Protection Board and European Data Protection Supervisor.[65]

Other projects

On 19 May 2026, the State Operator for Non-Lethal Acquisition (DOT) initiated an open procurement procedure for 5,000 pickup trucks via the Prozorro platform, allowing military units to select equipment categories directly from a catalogue with automated supplier assignment; deliveries are slated to conclude by December 2026.[66] On 25 May 2026, DOT completed its largest contract for long-range 155mm artillery ammunition across six manufacturers, securing a 16% cost savings due to competitive bidding and allowing for the ordering of tens of thousands of additional shells.[67] On 10 April 2026, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution No. 489, establishing an experimental fast-track framework for innovative defence procurement, which took effect on 14 April 2026, with a planned two-year duration.[68] On 20–21 April 2026, the Ministry of Defence began rolling out a universal ground control station designed for fibre-optic drones, formalising standardised technical parameters and supplying prototypes to frontline units for operational testing.[69]

Services and projects

Together with the team, he launched a number of services and projects:

  • Diia is a portal and application that allows users to receive public services online. More than 70 public services are available on the portal, 15 digital documents and 23 services in the application, including the world’s first official digital passport. The number of Ukrainian Diia users reached 19.4M for the web portal, and 18M for the application.[70]
    • Diia.Business – a platform for supporting businesses. Business owners can get free consultations and find ideas for development. The platform has already provided more than 14,500 specialised consultations.[71]
    • Diia.Centers – a network of places where Ukrainians can get administrative services, advice on online services, doing business, etc. As of 2022, 26 Diia.Centres operate in Ukraine.[72]
    • Diia.City – a special legal space with the lowest taxes for IT companies. More than 340 companies with over 24,000 professionals have already joined.[73]
    • Diia.Digital Education is an online platform with free digital literacy courses. There are 75 courses available on the platform with more than 1.3M users.[74]
  • E-Residency – status for foreigners, which allows conducting business in Ukraine online without a physical presence in the country. E-residents have the opportunity to get favourable taxation conditions.[75]
  • COVID-certificates. In a few clicks, a certificate immediately appears on the smartphone and is accepted everywhere in Europe. Ukrainians have generated more than 12M certificates.[76]
  • eMalyatko – A 10-in-1 service for parents of newborns. One application to register a child and receive 10 services without visiting any offices. For example, a parent can get registration of place of residence and assignment of birth allowance. As of July 2022, more than 270,000 parents have used the eMalyatko service.[77]
  • eAid – financial aid program for business, initiated by the President of Ukraine. This service has become an innovation both for Ukraine and the world: payments can be received in a few clicks. Also, it is the most comprehensive public service in the history of Ukraine, as it engages the state, banks and businesses. More than 9.3 million Ukrainians have applied via Diia for receiving ₴1,000 within the eAid program.[78]
  • Internet-Subvention – project, that helped 1M Ukrainians and 7,000 social facilities in 3,000 villages to get a connection to the optical Internet.[79]
  • A laptop for every teacher – initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, which aims to digitise education. More than 61 thousand Ukrainian teachers received modern laptops.[80]
  • Digitisation of services has an effective and proven anti-corruption effect. As of February 2022, the state has saved more than ₴14.7B thanks to the digitisation of public services. Potential savings, after all the services become digital, will amount to ₴42B.[81]

Activities during full-scale invasion

During the full-scale invasion, the following projects were implemented:

  • Most relevant services and products, done in Diia — Among them, obtain unemployment status and apply for unemployment benefits; file a 2% declaration and pay taxes; report on damaged/destroyed property; receive a temporary document for the martial law period – eDocument, etc.[82][83]
  • Expanded eAid service — Ukrainians in the areas where the most active hostilities were taking place were able to receive ₴6,500 of support from the state. The amount of ₴30.9B was issued to 5M Ukrainians.[84]
  • UNITED24 – a fundraising platform for donations from all over the world to support Ukraine.[85] Thanks to these funds, military and humanitarian needs of the state are fulfilling. All funds are distributed in three areas: defence and demining; humanitarian and medical aid; and rebuild Ukraine. For example, due to the donation raised it became possible to purchase a helicopter for evacuation of the seriously injured; 44K helmets; 48K units of body armour; 7 special vehicles for the military; 35 portable ALV apparatuses for medics working in the frontline. And this is just the beginning.[86]
  • The Army of Drones is a comprehensive program developed by the Ministry of Defence jointly with the General Staff. The project procures drones for the Armes Forces of Ukraine, repairs drones and provides systematic training for drone operators. As of now, team has signed contracts to purchase UAVs for over ₴1.1B. People also donate their own drones for the needs of the AFU.[87]
  • PayPal started its operation in Ukraine. In February 2022, Fedorov appealed to PayPal CEO Dan Schulman to leave the Russian market. The company not only left the market, but also allowed the commission-free transfers for Ukrainian users until 30 June. In June, the period of transfers without fees was extended until the end of September. The total amount of money that has been transferred and received by Ukrainians is over US$200M.[88]

Collaboration with Elon Musk

Main article: Starlink in the Russo-Ukrainian War

Two days after Russia invaded, Fedorov used Twitter to ask Elon Musk to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations.[89] Two days later Musk responded that Starlink had been activated in Ukraine.[90] As of 2023, there were over 18K Starlinks operating in Ukraine, providing critical infrastructure for government agencies, etc with a stable Internet connection. The SpaceX team has also updated the software to reduce power consumption so that Starlink can be powered from a car cigarette lighter. Given the number of terminals and their demand, SpaceX decided to open a representative office in Ukraine. On 9 June, Starlink Ukraine received official registration as on operator.[91][92]

In addition to Starlink, Elon Musk handed over Tesla Powerwalls to Ukraine. These batteries can serve as emergency power supplies during power outages and are combined with solar cells for off-grid electricity generation. They are used in settlements most affected by the Russian occupation. This solution came in handy as there were a lot of situations where there was a need to get critical infrastructure running again, rather than waiting for power to be restored. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has received 44 Tesla Powerwalls.[93]

Cyberwar

According to Fedorov, the term "cyberwar" will soon become official in the world. Ukraine participates in it and is confidently winning. To this end, the Ministry of Digital Transformation team has done the following:

  • Digital Blockade of the Russian Federation. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has been appealing to tech companies to stop operating in Russia. In total, over 600 companies were approached, about 150 responded to the request, and 78 left the Russian market completely.[94][95]
  • IT-army – more than 250K volunteers from all over the world united to fight the enemy, and show that the only possible future for Russia will be: as slow as possible and without any modern digital tools. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the IT army has attacked more than 7000 online resources and this number is increasing every day. Among them are RuTube, the Russian Post, Sberbank, State Procurement, etc.[96][97]
  • eVorog – a chatbot where Ukrainians can report on the movement of invaders, their war crimes and collaborators. Also Ukrainians can report information about explosive and suspicious objects, and mines in particular. Currently, more than 350K people have already used the chatbot. Thanks to the information received within eVorog, the Armed Forces has been able to conduct a number of successful operations. Also, the chatbot received information about more than 30 war crimes.[98][99]
  • Artificial Intelligence Photo Identification – Ministry of Digital Transformation identified quite a few looting Russian soldiers with the help of AI algorithms. The algorithms also identified more than 300 photos of dead Russian soldiers. And with the help of social engineering, they found many people, who were associated with this war to inform them of the death of a loved one and ask them to refuse to go to war.[100]

Awards

  • Order of Merit of the III degree for outstanding achievements in economic, scientific, social and cultural, military, state, public and other spheres of public activities for the benefit of Ukraine.[101]
  • Fedorov entered the POLITICO Tech 28 rating of European digital leaders and took first place in the Rulebreakers category.[102]
  • The Diia brand has won two awards at the British D&AD Awards in the "Local Solution" and "Digital Design" categories.[103]
  • Diia.City received the Red Dot Award in two categories: Brand Experience and Logo Design (2022).[104]
  • Diia was awarded the bronze statuette of the Cannes Lions in the category Creative Business Transformation (2022).[105]
  • The Ministry of Digital Transformation team received the "Creative Civil Servants" award at the annual "Creative Bureaucracy" Festival.[106]
  • Ukraine and personally Mykhailo Fedorov were noted at the CYBERSEC European Cybersecurity Forum. They received two awards: for heroic resistance to Russian aggression and for defence of the digital boundaries of the democratic world.[107]
  • Diia.City won the Emerging Europe Awards in the category Modern and Future-Proof Policymaking.[108]
  • The Ministry's of the digital transformation team received two awards in the Telecom Ukraine 2021: Telecom Challеnge for special achievements in the development of the telecom industry and victory in the "Discovery of the Year" category for the "Internet Subvention" project.[109]
  • The Diia portal received an award from the Red Dot Design Award (2020).[110]

Personal life

Fedorov is married to Anastasia Volodymyrivna Fedorova (née Karpenko). His wife also studied at Zaporizhzhia National University, but in a different department. In 2017, the couple had a daughter named Mariya.[111]

MY COMMENT:


The CIA-edited and written Wikipedia (which blacklists — blocks from linking to — sites that aren’t CIA-approved) article makes clear that America’s permanent Government (its billionaires), via its agents including the CIA, have been very much following the career of Fedorov, and that they are extremely disturbed at what Zelensky has just done here.


—————


Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
