Air Force deputy quits in protest after Fedorov is shown the door

Original version ·

It seems the departure of Mykhailo Fedorov from the Defense Ministry has hit a nerve within the high command of the Air Force.

When Mykhailo Fedorov Fedorov left the Ministry of Defense, Pavlo Elizarov Elizarov, deputy commander of the Air Force, decided he was done too. He posted his resignation on social media, making it clear he isn't just handing in his badge—he’s cutting all ties with the military.

His big concern? He believes Fedorov’s removal will effectively block critical air defense reforms, leading to disaster and more casualties. It is rare to see a high-ranking officer burn their bridges so publicly and refuse to stay on even as a reservist.

Apparently, the chain of command is more of a suggestion when personal professional loyalty is on the line.

    Wait, so the air defense is just going to stop being reformed because one guy left? That sounds like a fragile system.
