Disgruntled former minister Mykhailo
Fedorov is planning to travel to the United States in near future, Suspilne
public broadcaster reported on Aug. 20, citing Fedorov’s press service.
According to Fedorov’s PR team, the visit will focus on developing joint defense initiatives.
“The main goal of the trip, which is potentially planned, is to attract resources for new projects in defense tech,” Fedorov’s press service told Suspilne.
The team said the visit does not include meetings with U.S. government officials or political leaders.
On Aug. 19, The Kyiv Independent reported that Fedorov could travel to the United States as early as next week. The Guardian suggested the trip might be an attempt to seek Washington’s backing for holding wartime elections in Ukraine.
On Aug. 18, he posted a video on his YouTube channel
calling for elections in Ukraine, saying Russia has no right to determine when
Ukrainians can again choose their leaders. The Guardian described Fedorov’s
appeal as “the most direct political challenge to Volodymyr Zelenskyy since
Russia’s full-scale invasion.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
