President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday proposed appointing First Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov as Ukraine's new defense minister, praising his abilities in developing the drones and digitization needed for the country's defense. Fedorov also served as minister of digital transformation and his appointment must be approved by parliament. He is to replace Denys Shmyhal.
"Mykhailo is deeply engaged in the 'drone line' initiative and works very effectively on the digitalization of state services and processes," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
"Together with all our military personnel, military command, national weapons manufacturers and Ukraine's partners, we must implement changes in the defense sector that will truly help."
Zelenskyy said the ministry had shown good results under Shmyhal, a former prime minister, and that he was being offered a new government post.

Friend or foe, in that part of the world (Russia and Ukraine), I’d stay as far away from leadership as possible, if I wanted a few more birthday parties.
“
Zelensky did Nazi ANY alternative he could LIVE with!”
“Denazification” as a Pretext for War: Putin announced the 2022 invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation” aimed at the “demilitarization and denazification” of the country, a claim widely dismissed as unfounded propaganda by international observers and historians.
Baseless Genocide Claims: As part of this narrative, Russian state media and officials promoted false claims of “genocide” against Russian speakers in the Donbas region, an accusation that independent media and experts found to have no evidence.
Ukraine’s Jewish President: The absurdity of the claim is often highlighted by the fact that Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is Jewish and had relatives who were killed in the Holocaust.
Manipulation of History: Putin has engaged in historical revisionism, seeking to absolve the Soviet Union of blame for its 1939 pact with Nazi Germany and imposing laws that criminalize drawing parallels between the USSR and Nazi Germany.
Russia’s Own Far-Right Issues
Cultivation of Domestic Neo-Nazis: Reporting suggests that the Putin regime has a long history of cultivating and utilizing domestic neo-Nazi and far-right groups as “ideal accomplices” for its authoritarian agenda, a policy sometimes referred to as “managed nationalism”.
Links to Terror Groups: Russian intelligence has been accused of links to international white supremacist and neo-Nazi terrorist organizations, such as “The Base,” whose founder reportedly ran the group from St. Petersburg.
Far-Right Fighters: Members of Russian far-right groups have fought alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, which complicates the Kremlin’s narrative.
Comparison of Regimes: Some political analysts and historians argue that Putin’s Russia exhibits many features that resemble historical fascism, including a personality cult, state-sponsored nationalism, and imperialist war, suggesting that Russia itself might be the country most in need of “de-Nazification”.
Propaganda Tactics
The “Big Lie” and Dehumanization: Experts characterize Putin’s use of “Nazi” and “genocide” language as a variation of Hitler’s “Big Lie” propaganda technique, intended to dehumanize Ukrainians, justify violence, and confuse international audiences.
Exploitation of Western Far-Right: Russia has funded and provided assistance to far-right populist parties across Europe and North America to amplify anti-Western conspiracy theories and disrupt democratic institutions.
In essence, the “Putin Nazi problems” refer to a complex web of propaganda, historical distortion, and the strategic use of far-right elements by the Kremlin to advance its political and military objectives, particularly in Ukraine.

So, anything not in a Putin memo is spam?
St Z has absolutely no path to Victory, and with all this Venezuala news and reshaping of what matters, the Americas, Ukraine and St Z needs to finally disappear....
It seems you did Nazi the spam in your post.
Happy New Year Anke, I see you’re in a good mood!
It would be better than the War Droning On.
“Ukraine and St Z needs to finally disappear....”
Speaking of disappearing, what happened to all your threads and posts?
“It seems you did Nazi the spam in your post.”
Putin is making the same mistakes that doomed Hitler when he invaded the Soviet Union
Timothy Snyder, a leading authority on Central European history and the Holocaust, says Putin’s claim about “de-Nazification” is “grotesque” because he’s trying to justify invading a democratic country – led by a Jewish president who lost relatives in the Holocaust – by claiming he’s there to fight Nazis.
Snyder calls Putin’s justification a variation of Hitler’s Big Lie – a Nazi propaganda technique that insists that if a political leader repeats a colossal untruth enough, people will eventually believe it.
