Fedorov deserves enormous credit for turning Ukraine’s fortunes around with automation: deep strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, middle strikes to isolate Crimea and removing more Russian soldiers than Moscow can replace per month. He also personally appealed to Elon Musk to get SpaceX to deny the Russians access to Starlink, a decision that had an immediate impact on the battlefield. Sacking Fedorov would be a disaster in itself, but it’d also be seen as a regressive move among Ukraine allies in the Trump administration, of which there are precious few.Jimmy Rushton (@JimmySecUK)Removing Fedorov under current circumstances would be an incredibly poor decision, akin to Zelensky’s attempt to remove the independence of NABU and SAPO last summer, and would severely damage the perception of Ukraine internationally.
