Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers adopted a package of personnel decisions, the key one being the appointment of Ivan Fedorov — previously the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration — as head of the State Agency for the Recovery and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the government's decision. Simultaneously with the appointment, the Cabinet removed three officials from their posts, indicating a large-scale rotation within the body responsible for the country's recovery. ### Cabinet Decision: Three Dismissals and One Appointment By government decisions, three officials lost their positions, however the published materials detail only one of these reshuffles — Ivan Fedorov's departure from the post of head of the regional administration. The Cabinet approved his dismissal from his previous position and simultaneously confirmed him in the new role of head of the State Agency for the Recovery and Development of Infrastructure. Such a combination of "dismissal + appointment" within a single package of decisions is characteristic of planned rotation rather than emergency personnel measures. ### New Role: The Recovery Agency Fedorov's appointment is not sudden: previously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had proposed that he head the Recovery Agency. Fedorov himself mentioned this during his report on the 1,000 days of his work. In his words, he called the proposal "extremely complex," explaining that the adversary continues to strike strategic facilities that must be simultaneously defended and rapidly restored. Thus, the new position combines the tasks of defending critical infrastructure and its operational recovery. ### Connection to Zaporizhzhia Oblast It is important that the move to a national-level post does not mean a complete detachment of Fedorov from the Zaporizhzhia region. According to his own statements, he will continue to work as co-chair of the regional Council of Defense and will be responsible for the region. This allows for continuity of governance in one of the oblasts most affected by combat operations, where questions of infrastructure recovery and the protection of facilities are of paramount importance. ### Contradictory Data The source materials contain a terminological inconsistency: in some formulations Fedorov is referred to as the head of the "Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration" (RSA), in others as the "Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration" (RMA). These two bodies have different powers, and the exact wording of the position from which he was dismissed requires verification against the official text of the Cabinet's decision. Moreover, the text mentions the dismissal of three officials, but the names of two of them are not provided in the available sources, so the full scope of the personnel reshuffle has not yet been confirmed. ### Context and Background The appointment comes against the backdrop of ongoing strikes on the infrastructure of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, which Fedorov had regularly reported on as the regional head. Moving to the level of the State Recovery Agency strengthens his mandate and resources, allowing him to coordinate recovery not within a single oblast but on a nationwide scale. For observers, the key question remains how Fedorov will combine his national duties with the role of co-chair of the regional Council of Defense and whether he will be able to deliver the promised "rapid" defense and recovery of strategic facilities. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Ivan Fedorov Appointed Head of Ukraine's State Recovery Agency](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ivana-fedorova-priznachili-golovoyu-derzhagenstva-1788509526.html) - Подтверждает назначение Федорова главой Госагентства восстановления по решению Кабмина. - [Ivan Fedorov Named Head of Ukraine's State Recovery Agency](https://24tv.ua/ru/ivan-fedorov-stal-glavoj-gosagentstva-po-vosstanovleniju-ukrainy_n3135753) - Независимое подтверждение факта назначения на должность главы Госагентства по восстановлению. - [Zaporizhzhia Head Ivan Fedorov: "Today We Have Nothing in Common with Russia and Definitely Nothing in Common ..."](https://www.rfi.fr/ru/%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0/20250215-%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D1%8C%D1%8F-%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD-%D1%84%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2-%D1%81-%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B5%D0%B9-%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8F-%D1%83-%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%81-%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%89%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%B8-%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%89%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%88%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%B5-%D0%B1%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%82) - Предоставляет предысторию и публичные заявления Федорова в качестве регионального руководителя; не относится напрямую к дате назначения. - [Woman and Child Trapped Under Rubble After KAB Strikes on Zaporizhzhia, Says Fedorov](https://ukranews.com/news/1163839-zhenshhina-i-rebenok-okazalis-pod-zavalami-v-rezultate-ataki-bespilotnikov-na-zaporozhe-fedorov) - Иллюстрирует контекст ударов по инфраструктуре Запорожья, о которых говорил Федоров; не подтверждает и не опровергает кадровое решение. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Who was appointed head of Ukraine's State Recovery Agency? **A:** Ivan Fedorov, who previously headed the Zaporizhzhia regional administration, was appointed head of the State Agency for the Recovery and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine by a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers. ### Q: How many officials did the Cabinet of Ministers dismiss? **A:** According to the report, the Cabinet removed three officials from their posts at once, however only Ivan Fedorov's dismissal is detailed in the provided materials. ### Q: Will Fedorov leave Zaporizhzhia Oblast? **A:** No, in his words, he will continue to work as co-chair of the regional Council of Defense and be responsible for the region, combining this with his new national-level position.
