Following a wave of public debate, a press conference by Fedorov a day after he was dismissed as part of a surprise governmentreshuffle, caused widespread debate and tension in Bankova as thousands took to the streets to protest against the decision. In his six months on
the job, the former tech entrepren€showed himself to be highly effective and began to turn the tide on the battlefield – something he himself pointed out with a list of 22 achievements he posted online in his farewell message on social media.
Under pressure from volunteer groups, business leaders of Ukraine's western allies, Zelenskiy changed his stance again and publicly praised Fedorov’s record at the Ministry of Defence on July 18, announcing that he would return to government in a new more powerful role. At the end of last week, Zelenskiy offered Fedorov a job as advisor, but that was refused as Fedorov said he wanted the authority to continue his reforms of the venally corrupt and highly inefficient Defence Ministry.
The Presidential Office said an agreement on Fedorov’s future had been reached after he rejected a conventional advisory position, insisting that he needed executive authority if he was to continue his military reforms." msn
