Brief retelling from RIA II

Fedorov took the position of adviser on defense innovation to Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.

The editor-in-chief of the Italian newspaper Fatto Quotidiano, Marco Travaglio, expressed doubts about the appropriateness of this appointment.

Travaglio believes that Fedorov will be an adviser more for appearances, and his competence raises questions.

ROME, August 30 - RIA Novosti. The editor-in-chief of the Italian newspaper Fatto Quotidiano, Marco Travaglio, wondered about the advisability of attracting the former head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Mikhail Fedorov, as an adviser to Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.

Fedorov announced on Friday that he had accepted the position of adviser on defense innovation to the Italian defense minister.

"What came into the heads of (Prime Minister Giorgio) Meloni and Crosetto to hire him? Do they want to turn Italy into (Vladimir) Zelensky's dumping ground? Or do they agree that the bet on Ukraine's victory was nonsense, and the regime they continue to support and arm is very far from democratic and corrupt to the very top?" Travaglio wrote in his column on Sunday.

According to the editor-in-chief of the Italian newspaper, Fedorov will be an adviser more for appearances, and his competence, which Crosetto spoke about, raises questions.

“It’s as if our universities don’t have outstanding specialists, including Nobel laureates, and we have to import them from one of the most failed, poorly governed and corrupt countries in Europe. As if we, unfortunately, are not already at the forefront of the death market,” writes Travaglio.

Open Questions

  • What specific responsibilities will Mikhail Fedorov perform as an advisor?
  • Is there any official confirmation of the appointment from the Italian government?
  • How did the Ukrainian government react to this appointment?
