EA-Ukraine VideoCast: Could Kyiv Hit Russia With Ballistic Missiles By End of 2026?


EA’s Cormac Smith joined Pakistan TV on Wednesday to assess the high-profile political intervention of Ukraine’s former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelensky last month.

Fedorov was interviewed earlier this week. He then posted a high-profile video, calling for elections during Russia’s full-scale invasion — even though that is prohibited under martial law by Ukraine’s Constitution.

Cormac explains that while Fedorov is credited for his technological innovation, leading many Ukrainians to question his dismissal, his political maneuver against Zelensky may not gain widespread support.
