Innovation: Ukraine Shows a Coming Global Generational Conflict Protests have broken out in Ukraine against the firing of the young Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov. He is a 35-year-old entrepreneur from the technology sector. He stayed in the job for only six months. In that short time, he modernized Ukraine’s... drone warfare and carried out important reforms in the Ministry of Defense. However, he faced strong internal conflicts with the country’s top military leaders, including Commander-in-Chief Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi. This is not about bribes or corruption, problems that always exist in wars, specially at this one. The real issue is a clash between the old and the new. Ukraine’s senior officers were trained in the Soviet era. Their way of thinking is very different from that of a young tech entrepreneur. The conflict is about how to manage resources and prioritize innovation. This is not just a Ukrainian problem. We are living through a global technological revolution. Generational conflicts like this will happen in many areas, both civilian and military. In Ukraine, groups like Azov have strong influence in politics, including alliances with traditional old political factions, especially in defense, sports, and culture. This makes it even harder for a young reformer to succeed. Even so, Fedorov represents the kind of renewal that Ukrainian society wants, not just in defense, but in the whole country. That is why people are protesting in his support.show more

It is important to clearly understand what the protests currently taking place in Ukraine are about in connection with the resignation of Defense Minister Fedorov. Fedorov is a thief and a fraudster. He will, of course, now be presented as a new face who carried out digitalization in the Ministry of Defense. In reality, Fedorov was involved in criminal fraud cases back in the early 2010s. At that time, they were selling overweight women a miracle weight-loss cure. Fedorov avoided criminal liability by becoming friends with Zelensky. Why are the protests happening now? Because Fedorov’s entourage was making, and continues to make, hundreds of millions of dollars from drones. Not tens of millions - hundreds of millions of dollars. The people who are currently paying for articles, protests, and opinion leaders may lose enormous amounts of money. For example, just yesterday, one opinion leader was paid 300,000 USDT to start pushing this issue. And, let me note, this was not even the main opinion leader. So now the entourage of the thief Fedorov will fight as hard as possible to remain in control of these financial flows. It is important to understand who may replace Fedorov: the Minister of Internal Affairs. That, in turn, means that mobilization will become even stricter. For Fedorov, losing the ministerial portfolio would be a collapse - it would be the end. Because both he and his entourage could face criminal liability for the enormous schemes that exist within the Ministry of Defense involving drones and missiles. That is the difficult situation we are facing right now. And people will now campaign on Fedorov’s behalf even if they are among those in Europe who received kickbacks from the funds Europe allocated for the procurement of drones and other equipment. Pay close attention to their statements. At the same time, it is important to understand that things will not get better there. This is purely a battle over the money of gullible Westerners.

❗️Fedorov: The Ukrainian people did not come out for a specific minister named Fedorov. The Ukrainian people came out because, when the initiative was seized on the battlefield and in the sky, the trajectory was broken. The Ukrainian people can sense when something is not being done on the basis of the values cultivated here. “I don’t need the position of Minister of Defense in order to be the Minister of Defense. I need the position of Minister of Defense in order to win the war. In the current setup where Syrskyi is the Commander-in-Chief, I don’t see how this can be done.”

I thank Crown Prince Haakon of Norway for the meeting. I informed him about the ongoing Russian strikes and the situation on the frontline. Russia continues its terror against people and life. That is why, together with our partners, we are doing everything possible to bolster air defense and enhance protection. Together with Norway, we are building a strategic partnership in the field of security and defense. We are interested in a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership that will strengthen the defense potential of both Ukraine and Norway, in particular through the development and implementation of the Drone Deal. I thank Norway, its government, and all its people for supporting Ukraine. I am grateful for the allocation of €9 billion in assistance for this year. This is important for Ukraine.

Together with Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Maria M Stenergard, we discussed joint defense projects and the needs of our warriors. She is in Uzhhorod today, and this is already her second visit to Ukraine. I am grateful for her personal support of our state. We spoke in detail about further assistance to Ukraine, the preparation of a new defense package, the PURL initiative, the protection of Ukraine’s skies, investments in Ukrainian drone production, and the prospects for joint defense projects. I am grateful to the people of Sweden, the government, and the Prime Minister for supporting our nation from the very beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Lviv. Ukraine In 1574, Ivan Fedorov printed the first Ukrainian book, "The Apostle," in Lviv. This marked the beginning of book printing in Ukrainian lands and a symbol of cultural independence, similar to Gutenberg's invention in Europe. Interestingly, Ivan Fedorov lived in Russia, but due to persecution by Moscow (Russia has always persecuted Russian geniuses), he fled to Ukraine and spent all his activities in Ukraine. By the way, there is no information about his place of birth, so he may not have been Russian.

At Ramstein Air Base, I met with German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius. Our discussion focused on military assistance to Ukraine for this year, the supply of additional air defense equipment, the future of the Ramstein format, and support for Ukrainian arms and equipment production. Only strong Ukraine’s positions on the battlefield and the empowerment of our warriors will help us force Russia into a just and lasting peace. Ukraine is grateful to Germany for its leadership in strengthening our air defense and for the thousands of lives we have saved together

Second day of street protests in Ukraine after Zelensky suddenly fired reformist defense minister Fedorov. The crowds are much bigger and the chant is “Down with Syrsky.” It is very hard to motivate people to join the military when the commander in chief, Gen Syrsky, is perceived — rightly or wrongly, but widely — as a Soviet-school general who doesn’t care about casualties, and who has allowed the emergence of pet regiments that reproduce some of the worst Russian army habits, like torture and extrajudicial killings of recruits.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 “Ukraine has the best army in Europe and perhaps in the world. It will be difficult to understand if we in Europe do not perceive the integration of the best military force into our European security system as a vital interest,” — stated European Commissioner for Defense Andrius Kubilius. ❗️ The European Commissioner also stressed the need to promote Ukraine’s membership in the European Defense Union until its accession to NATO is agreed, noting that full EU accession “may take longer.” This is a very strong and significant statement from a high-ranking EU official. Kubilius not only highly praises the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army but also openly calls for its rapid integration into European defense structures, even ahead of full NATO and EU membership. It reflects a growing understanding in Europe that Ukraine’s military experience and capabilities are becoming a strategic asset for the entire continent. Video is generated by grok AI

I met with the President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, in Paris. I expressed Ukraine’s full support and solidarity with the Georgian people, who are fighting for their dignified future, and emphasized that respecting the will of the Georgian people and preventing Ivanishvili’s government from surrendering the country to Putin is essential for the stability and future of the region. For Russia, this is not just about Georgia—it is about control of the Black Sea region, a strategic Russian goal that poses a threat to the national security of everyone in the region and across Europe. I assured President Zourabichvili that Ukraine will coordinate with partners, not just in Europe but globally, to deliver a systemic response and support the Georgian people in defending their right to live freely and independently. 🇺🇦🇬🇪

😳 A Foreigner Shocked by the Huge Variety of Products in Ukrainian Stores By the way, this is one of the reasons why some are afraid to accept Ukraine into the EU, because our products are of higher quality and lower price. Ukraine’s accession to the EU would mean that products in stores would have to become better in quality and cheaper in order to compete with Ukraine. For ordinary people this is good, but companies and farmers would lose part of their income. That is why some believe it is better not to accept Ukraine into the EU than to improve the quality of life and health of their own population.

I held a meeting of the Military Cabinet in Kharkiv. There were reports by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov, and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrii Hnatov. We discussed the situation at the front and the developments in main directions—Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy—as well as the course of the operation in the Kursk region. We also prepared for the meeting between the Ukrainian and American delegations, that will take place tomorrow in Saudi Arabia.

President Zelenskyy is in Canada today. His visit is primarily about air defense for Ukraine and how Ukraine can survive the winter. This is the right priority: the sky above Ukrainian cities is currently more important than any concepts. But I would look at this visit more broadly. Canada is currently restructuring its defense policy toward Europe, and Ukraine can take a significantly more important place in this restructuring than is visible from the list of aid packages. We are talking about the Canada–EU–Ukraine triangle. This is not an alternative to NATO, but rather an additional mechanism within Euro-Atlantic security. Why is this happening right now? There are four reasons: the lasting confrontation with Russia, growing threats in the Arctic and North Atlantic, Europe's need to take care of its own defense, and uncertainty regarding the duration, terms and conditions that the US will remain a guarantor of security. I will start with Canada. In 2025, PM Carney said that about 75 cents out of every dollar of Canadian capital defense spending goes to American suppliers. Therefore, Canada is now setting a course toward diversification. At the same time, there are no intentions to sever ties with Washington. Canadian defense-industrial strategy explicitly emphasizes strong relations with the United States. The second Canadian motive is the Arctic. Seven out of eight Arctic states are now in NATO. Russia remains the main military threat in the region, while China is increasingly taking an active interest in resources and routes. But for Ottawa, the North is also a matter of sovereignty. At the Canadian-Nordic Summit in Oslo in March, leaders specifically emphasized the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states. Against the backdrop of disputes surrounding Greenland and talk about a "51st state," a closer security partnership with Europe gives Canada more political support in these matters. And thirdly, let's be honest: in terms of military capabilities, Canada is not a giant. It only plans to reach 2% of GDP on defense this fiscal year. Canada's strength lies in geography and coalitions: in the fact that, together with the US, it secures NORAD while simultaneously building bridges to Europe. And why does Europe need Canada? Because Europe's need is not just weapons, but also the ability to move troops, equipment, and resources across the Atlantic. The JFC Norfolk command, which is responsible for maritime communications between North America and Europe, as of December 2025 also covers Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The Atlantic, the North, and the East of Europe in NATO planning are increasingly becoming a single space. Canada in this scheme is the other shore of the Atlantic. The most interesting thing is that elements of the Canada-EU-Ukraine triangle are already working. SAFE is the first of them. This is a European concessional loan mechanism for joint defense procurement, worth EUR 150 billion. The main condition is that the money must work for the European defense industry. Therefore, at least 65% of the component value in a contract must be European. Under SAFE rules, items produced in Ukraine count as European, on equal footing with products from EU countries, Norway, or Iceland. Canada was also admitted to the mechanism, becoming the first non-European country to join. Joint production is the second one. In May, the defense ministries of Ukraine and Canada signed an agreement to produce Ukrainian reconnaissance drones in Canada for the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the Airlogix-Sentinel joint venture. Ukraine provides battle-tested technology; Canada provides manufacturing capacity and funding. This is no longer aid, it's a manufacturing partnership. The third one: money. The NATO Ankara Declaration recorded that European allies and Canada are already funding the vast majority of security assistance to Ukraine. The threats facing all three sides are also shared. The most vivid example is underwater infrastructure. According to Reuters that cites two Western officials, in the spring, Britain, Norway, and the US tracked Russian GUGI submersibles that were practicing the use of means for covertly disabling cables near Svalbard. For Canada, this concerns trans-Atlantic communications and Arctic surveillance. For the EU: cables, ports, and energy grids. For Ukraine: energy infrastructure and the Black Sea infrastructure. What does Ukraine bring to this arrangement? We bring experience that neither Canada nor most European armies possess: high-intensity warfare against Russia, mass deployment of drones, electronic warfare, intelligence, and protecting infrastructure under constant attack. Chatham House, in a May report, directly proposes integrating Ukraine into NATO's Eastern Sentry, as well as into the EU's Eastern Flank Watch and Drone Defense Initiative, arguing that Ukrainian solutions could make the defense of the continent against drones more cost-effective. Ukraine, without a full-fledged navy, forced the Russian Black Sea Fleet to withdraw its main forces from Sevastopol, Crimea. This experience is directly relevant to both the Baltic and the North Atlantic. Shared maritime situational awareness from the Black Sea to the Arctic (Canadian space capabilities, European surveillance programs, and Ukrainian practical experience) would allow monitoring the Russian navy, shadow tankers, and underwater infrastructure as a single theater. Cooperation between Canada and the EU can reduce dependence on unstable supply chains. Canada possesses significant reserves of critical materials, important among other things for the defense industry, whereas the EU depends on China for critical raw materials. Combining Canadian resources, European manufacturing capacity, and Ukrainian technology could create a distinct trans-Atlantic supply chain. Energy cooperation should be long-term. Canada does not yet have sufficient infrastructure on its Atlantic coast to quickly replace Russian energy resources in Europe. However, it can gradually become one of the sources of the EU's energy security. This applies not only to LNG, but also to critical materials, nuclear fuel, and the protection of energy infrastructure. The role of the United Kingdom should not be underestimated, as well. It plays a significant role in the security of the North Atlantic, the GIUK gap, the protection of underwater infrastructure, and the development of the Atlantic Bastion concept, fitting naturally into a broader security system beyond the Canada–EU–Ukraine format. However, this specific triangle holds distinct significance because it combines Canada, European institutions, and Ukraine's gradual integration into the European defense market. Thus, Ukrainian president's visit to Canada does not create a triangle in itself. But it shows that there are elements that are already working: SAFE, where Ukrainian content is counted toward European content; JFC Norfolk, which stitches the Atlantic to the North and East of Europe; Ukrainian drones manufactured in Canada; and funding, the main share of which is already borne by Europe and Canada. The potential for deepening cooperation within the triangle lies in joint projects: air defense and counter-drone measures, maritime situational awareness from the Black Sea to the North Atlantic, protection of underwater infrastructure, and raw material supply chains.

Huge rally in Kyiv today in support of Mykhailo Fedorov. As I’ve been saying from the start, reform isn’t just a political talking point in Ukraine, it’s something people are prepared to take to the streets for. Fedorov is widely seen as one of the key drivers of that reform agenda, and these demonstrations show just how much public support he continues to command.

Yesterday and today, we had very good meetings with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof Rob Jetten. We spoke in Berlin together with other leaders, and today our discussions were also very substantive. I am grateful to the Netherlands for all the defense and political support Ukraine has received since the beginning of this invasion. I would like to express special gratitude for the recent defense package – €700 million for defense. Thank you. We appreciate your responsible approach to the current moment in global politics, which is reflected in your support for the PURL initiative, enabling us to purchase American weapons. These are necessary items – first and foremost air defense missiles and other weapons that are not available in Europe and that we can only purchase at this time. We are also working toward joint defense production, in particular the production of modern drones in Ukraine and the Netherlands. Ukraine is defending its independence and the lives of our people, and therefore every step of support right now carries particular significance. I thank Dick Schoof and the Netherlands for their continued support of our people!

This is the sound that wakes you up at night here in Ukraine. Air defense firing at Russian missiles and drones. To Ukrainian children, cats, and dogs this sounds terrifying, like the world is ending. Filmed a few minutes ago in #Kyiv. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine

For the second time since the restoration of our independence, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has come to Ukraine. A government delegation also accompanied him. I thank His Majesty for his visit and for supporting our people. Sweden is among the five largest donors in terms of support for our Armed Forces and our citizens. This is very important for our defense and resilience. Support for Ukraine and possibilities for strengthening the Air Force of Ukraine, including with Gripen aircraft, were among the key topics of the talks. We also discussed continued humanitarian support and energy assistance. Particular attention was paid to defense cooperation. Ukraine is interested in a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership that will strengthen the defense capabilities of both Ukraine and Sweden. I informed the King about Ukraine’s security agreements with countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region, as well as European countries. We are ready to share our experience and technologies with Sweden and to expand cooperation in the defense industry.

It’s dangerous to have negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine – President Zelenskyy in an interview for AP His other key points: ◾️Russia is not interested in ceasefire talks while it has the upper hand on the battlefield. Continued sanctions against Russia and support for the Ukrainian military are the only things that can bring Putin to the negotiating table. ◾️Putin can win in the world, without actually winning in Ukraine – if he is not punished, if he has “impunity” for the invasion, and finds a compromise. This will enable other world leaders, who are considering similar actions, to do the same. ◾️The United States, Ukraine, Russia, and the EU must have a place at the negotiating table over any ceasefire. ◾️European peacekeepers in Ukraine are interesting as “a part of the security guarantee, but not as the only guarantee of safety.” The dialogue with French leader Macron on this is still ongoing. ◾️NATO membership is the “cheapest” security guarantee for Ukraine’s allies, and it would also strengthen Trump geopolitically.

‼️‼️🇺🇦 Protests have broken out across several Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Kharkiv, following the resignation of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. 🔹Fedorov, who was appointed on January 14, 2026, confirmed his departure on July 15 as part of a significant cabinet reshuffle initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 🔹Fedorov’s departure comes after only six months in office, during which he was widely credited with modernizing Ukraine’s drone warfare capabilities and instituting various structural reforms within the Ministry of Defence. However, reports indicate that his tenure was marked by internal friction, specifically citing systemic conflicts with Ukraine’s military leadership, including Commander-in-Chief Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi. 🔹President Zelenskyy has reportedly signaled his intention to nominate Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko as the new Minister of Defence.

🚨 “NATO countries are not ready for drone warfare. Period” — Madyar Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, said Ukraine is already living in a reality that much of Europe is still unprepared for: hundreds of Shahed drones a day, with missile strikes involving dozens of weapons coming in from multiple directions in between. According to him, no economy in the world could sustain trying to shoot down such a volume using only conventional air-defense systems. “Kyiv in three days is never going to happen. But I’m not sure the Baltics wouldn’t fall in a day,” Madyar said. He called drones the main threat: “Drones are the real plague of the third millennium. No exaggeration. The math proves it.” And his main conclusion was even harsher: “NATO partner countries are seriously overestimating their own readiness to withstand drone warfare.”
