Italy's Defense Minister Crosetto offers advisory role to ousted Ukrainian minister
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto has offered an advisory role to recently dismissed Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov. Following his dismissal, support protests broke out in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, and other Ukrainian cities.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto announced that he had offered an advisory role to recently dismissed Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov.
In an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Crosetto said, “The day after he was dismissed, I called and asked him, ‘When would you like to come to Rome and work as my advisor?’”
The Italian minister, relaying his Ukrainian counterpart’s reaction, said he was “moved” and considered the offer “a sign of respect and friendship.” He stressed that he regards Fedorov as a pioneer of military innovation. Crosetto said Fedorov had completely “rewritten” the rules of the battlefield.
According to the Italian minister, Fedorov first helped Ukraine resist Russia and later contributed to regaining the initiative through new technologies and evolving warfare tactics.
