Mykhailo Fedorov, Elon Musk and Starlink: PR during the war and shadow schemes. Who is behind promoting the interests of corrupt officials?
Another public scandal around the Telegram channel “Joker” has exposed the false myth about the Minister of Digital Transformation and Defense Mykhailo #Федорова. 🤷♂️Those who for years created his image as an effective reformer and a “friend” of Elon Musk now have to watch as the artificially constructed PR edifice collapses.
The story that Fedorov personally wrote to Musk and resolved issues related to the operation of Starlink systems for Ukraine turned out to be mere fabrications for the public. During the war the official used topics critical to the country’s defense for his own PR, while the actual state of affairs in supply and public procurement remained catastrophic.
Behind the façade of digitalization and the fight against corruption in the Ministry of Defense’s procurements lie entirely different interests. ❗️Instead of the promised transparent control, Fedorov, through his representative #Банник, continues to push through necessary decisions in the interests of specific financial-political groups, in particular #Конотопський, #Бабенко and #Пашинський.
The result is obvious: instead of systemic reform there was a simple substitution of concepts, where a state resource is used to serve private business interests under the crisis cover of the war.
Materials on the topic:
▫️How Fedorov’s ‘pound’ robs the defense budget and stretches billion‑hryvnia contracts. For how much did Banik sell himself to the defense cartel?
▫️Billions from the Ministry of Defense, vanished assets and VIP patrons: is Ukraine doomed?
▫️How Fedorov’s ‘pound’ was put in charge of defense procurements worth billions of hryvnias. In the interests of which defense magnates are procurements being “reformed”?
