Italian Defense Minister Offers Advisory Role to Mykhailo Fedorov

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto stated he has offered former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov a role as a military advisor in Rome, describing him as a driving force behind battlefield innovations. Crosetto reportedly contacted Fedorov the day after his July 15 dismissal. The international offer comes as Fedorov recently rejected a proposal from President Volodymyr Zelensky to become deputy prime minister for military innovations.
