Fedorov en route to Washington

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov was departing for Washington D.C. on the evening of August 28, according to RFE/RL correspondent Alex Raufoglu. Fedorov had accepted an offer to advise Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on developing advanced defense technologies and strengthening the country's defense sector.

Despite his new role in Italy, Fedorov stated that his primary focus remained on Ukraine. He added that his international journey would continue after his time in Italy. Fedorov's potential visit to the United States was reported as early as the following week by The Kyiv Independent, with The Guardian speculating it could be tied to U.S. support for holding wartime elections in Ukraine.
