Ukraine’s new defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, is dedicated to the war, more so than ever, posting last week on X about the country’s “clear vision and clear objectives,” which includes the goal of killing 50,000 Russians per month.

“Ukrainians are the bravest nation, and I am confident we will succeed. Glory to the defenders of Ukraine!”

Outlining Ukraine’s plans for the future, Fedorov has also highlighted achieving “measurable results” and killing Russians in a recent interview.

“Management must be built around those capable of achieving defined goals. If people don’t demonstrate measurable results, they can’t remain in the system,” he said, according to Kyiv Independent.

His second objective was more aggressive and specific. “The second strategic objective is to kill 50,000 Russians per month,” Fedorov told press.

Touting conversations with his counterparts in the U.K. and Germany, Fedorov also posted about a new drone program, joint programs, strengthening air defense, and data sharing.

“I spoke with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. Strengthening air defense is our top priority. We discussed drones, long-range artillery, and further cooperation. I thank Germany, and personally Boris Pistorius, for the consistent support of Ukraine,” he posted regarding his call with Pistorius.

In yet another announcement, Fedorov announced a new cooperation with the launch of Brave1 Dataroom with Palantir Technologies.

“AI based on real war data will help intercept enemy drones and protect Ukrainian airspace. Ukraine is developing autonomous air defense solutions that are already delivering results,” he wrote.
