Direct speech: “The president has set a clear task: to build a system capable of stopping the enemy in the sky, advancing on the ground, intensifying asymmetric and cyber attacks on the enemy and its economy. To make the price of war for Russia such that it will not be able to bear it. Thus, to force peace by force.”

Details: According to Fedorov, diplomacy has its own direction of work, but at the same time, the state must achieve results in the military sphere.
He said that several key stages have been identified for this, the first of which is management restructuring.
According to the minister, the approach to the work of the Ministry of Defense must change: it is not only about procurement and provision, but about civilian supervision, coordination and clear synchronization of processes.
“It is necessary to set the right tasks. A system that does not have them starts to get sick. Therefore, management is the first task. Management should be built around those who are able to achieve defined goals. If people don’t demonstrate measurable results, they can’t stay in the system,” Fedorov said.
He called the second strategic goal the scale of losses suffered by the enemy.
Direct speech: “Last month, 35,000 people were killed – all these losses were verified on video. If we reach the figure of 50 thousand, we will see what will happen to the enemy. They perceive people as a resource, problems with which are already obvious.”
