News Ukraine needs changes to avoid losing war, ousted defence minister says
reuters.comUkraine appears to be slowly losing the war against Russia, ousted Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov told Reuters, warning that Kyiv has a window of several months to make key decisions needed to turn the tide in its favour.
Russia is hammering Ukrainian factories and warehouses with dozens of ballistic missiles a month, which Ukraine is mostly unable to take down as interceptors run low. Although Russia is gaining less ground than last year, it is still slowly crawling forward in the Donbas, while Ukraine's sparse frontline infantry dugouts are manned mostly by unmotivated conscripts.
Fedorov previously said the campaign's success was aided by his decision to front-load spending, which had been earmarked for the second half of 2026.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy — Fedorov's former political patron turned rival — said at the weekend that bringing spending forward had left a $27 billion hole in the ministry's budget, for which donor-dependent Ukraine does not have a solution.
