To put these immense Russian losses in perspective, imagine a large stadium full of Russian troops ... eliminated within the short period of just 3 months. Almost unfathomable! All that sacrifice, and so much more: for what? #cannonfodder 🇺🇦🏟️💙💛😳🇺🇦
#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . The Ukrainian army has eliminated more than 90,000 Russian troops over the past three months, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Jan. 5 after meeting with Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who is expected to lead the Defense Ministry soon.
The news follows Zelensky’s Jan. 2 nomination of Fedorov, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister and minister of digital transformation, to head the Defense Ministry. The appointment must also be approved by parliament under Ukraine’s constitution.
Fedorov has led the Ministry of Digital Transformation since 2019 and is the only minister whose post has remained unchanged during Zelensky’s presidency.
Zelensky and Fedorov discussed the changes the minister will potentially implement in his new role. Fedorov is expected to present draft decisions within a week aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, according to Zelensky’s statement.
