Mykhailo Fedorov, a high-ranking official who recently left his job as Ukraine’s defense leader, is making some big moves. He is now focused on finding new ways to help Ukraine’s military through technology.
Fedorov is working to get foreign countries to invest in a new "defense tech fund." This is basically a pile of money used to build better weapons and gear. He wants to use this money to help Ukraine win the war against Russia by making better tools.
He has already made some interesting offers. He told the United States that Ukraine is willing to share its drone secrets. In exchange, he is hoping to get Patriot missile systems. These are powerful tools that help stop incoming rockets from hitting the ground.
Fedorov isn’t just working for his own country anymore, though. He has also taken on a new job as an advisor to Italy’s defense chief. In this role, he will share his knowledge about drones and modern war tech.
He says this is a "new history" for how wars are fought. By sharing what he has learned about drone warfare, he hopes to change how countries prepare for future battles. Many are watching to see if his plans to raise money and share technology will actually change the battlefield.
