This decision was supported by 277 members of parliament.
It is worth noting that on January 13, the parliament failed to vote on the appointment of Mykhailo Fedorov as Minister of Defense.
What is important to understand is that he was recommended for this position by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the newly elected minister, one cannot fight with new technologies against the old organizational structure; comprehensive changes are needed.
Our goal is to change the system: to carry out army reform, improve infrastructure on the front lines, eradicate lies and corruption, and make leadership and trust a new culture.

The new minister is also determined to solve the CCC problem.
We are obliged to defeat the enemy in every technological cycle. To be one, two, ten steps ahead — to preserve the lives of our soldiers and destroy the enemy as effectively as possible. More robots — fewer losses. More technologies — fewer deaths. The lives of Ukrainian heroes are the highest value! — Fedorov emphasized.
