Zelensky revealed the details of the conflict between the Ministry of Defense and the military command, spoke about the "ministry of war" presentation, and reported that Fedorov refused four offers to work in the presidential team.

Zelenskyy stated that no single person can carry out the mobilization reform: joint action by the defense minister and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is needed. The Ministry of Defense is preparing changes with a more humane approach, including the question of conscription age.

Deputy Defense Minister Vasyl Shkurakov stated that the team of the new Defense Minister, Yevhen Khmara, will include measures to address the problem of illegal actions by TCCs in the government action plan.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has refuted rumors about Yevhen Khmara's dismissal from military service via a medical board. The MoD explained that he holds the post of minister as a civilian, as required by law, and is fully fit for service.

MoD competence centers, responsible for developing TTC for tenders, are staffed only to one-tenth of the authorized headcount. According to the head of the Council of Weapon Manufacturers, this threatens to disrupt weapons supplies to the front in the coming months.

📢 On the 32nd day, protests continue in Kyiv for the return of Mykhailo Fedorov to the Ministry of Defense. Thousands of people took part in the «Cardboard March» with slogans like «Drones, not people». No TCC raids were recorded in the city center; police are maintaining order. Experts call this a serious challenge for the authorities against the backdrop of the war.

🇺🇦 Kyiv marks the anniversary of protests demanding Mykhailo Fedorov's return to the Ministry of Defense. Participants demand Syrskyi's resignation and Fedorov's appointment. Protests have continued for a month, despite the change in Commander-in-Chief. Parliament meets on August 18 — protesters hope for concessions from the authorities. #Ukraine #Fedorov #Protests #MinistryOfDefense

🇺🇦 July 2026 was the bloodiest for Russia in a year and a half: 42,860 killed, 14k vehicles, 68 air defense systems. Ukrainian General Staff: Russian losses since the start of the war — 1.46 million. #Ukraine #Russia #RussianLosses #War2026

🚨 Head of SAP Oleksandr Klimenko admitted: NABU and SAP cannot defeat corruption in the defense sector alone. According to him, the budget is huge, and prosecutor resources are insufficient. The only way out is a 'symbiosis' with the Ministry of Defense, which must change procurement rules. Klimenko confirmed that the MoD has requested a risk analysis from NABU for the first time, but warned that 'top-level' corruption is still growing. On the same day, the preventive measure for former Head of the Office of the President Yermak was changed. 🇺🇦📉

🇺🇦 The Cabinet of Ministers has updated the rules for the 'Obereg' registry: the State Tax Service (STS) will transfer data on men aged 18-60 to the Ministry of Defense. 📉 Within 90 days, the tax authority will transfer information for automatic cross-checking with the 'Obereg' database. This will help identify errors and those missing from the registry. 🛂 Consulates will tighten control: document verification will be conducted via 'Reserve+' and 'Obereg'. Refusal of services is possible if data does not match. 📌 This is part of the digitization of military records, but does not involve creating a new "list of all men".

The Cabinet of Ministers has appointed Nikolai Shvydky as the new Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine. His main task is to accelerate the ministry's response to front-line requests and establish direct contact with Armed Forces of Ukraine units. 🇺🇦🛡️

The Ukrainian government has made life easier for those liable for military service: now deferment can be re-registered on a new basis without loss of status. 🇺🇦 The Minister of Defense explained how it works: if a student has a third child, he immediately changes the reason for deferment, without risking mobilization. 📱 The process has become digital and transparent through the "Oberyg" registry.

Mikhail Fedorov has found a new job in Europe 🇮🇹. The Italian Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, personally invited the former Ukrainian minister to Rome as an advisor, highly praising his contribution to the development of military technologies. In Kyiv, Fedorov refused offers to take the positions of Presidential Advisor or Vice Prime Minister.

🔥 Zelenskyy offered Fedorov the post of Vice Prime Minister for Military Innovations — but the former minister refuses. He is ready to return only to the position of head of the Ministry of Defense. The dialogue continues, but the rift in the defense management system is growing. #Ukraine #Fedorov #Zelenskyy
