Fedorov was dismissed as Ukraine's defense minister in July, a move that prompted thousands to protest across Ukraine.\n\nAccording to Euromaidan Press and Meduza, Crosetto reached out to Fedorov shortly after his dismissal, asking him to come to Rome to work as an advisor. Fedorov met with Crosetto on the first stop of an international trip focused on digitalization and defense technology. In this role, Fedorov will help Italy develop modern warfare technologies.\n\nFedorov has stated that his main focus remains unchanged, and he continues to work in Ukraine on his own projects to strengthen its defense and attract international resources. As deputy prime minister and digital transformation minister, Fedorov created the Brave1 defense-tech cluster.",
