Mykhailo Fedorov, who was recently removed from his post as Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, has expressed his desire to return to the role. The official stated his hope to reclaim his position following the government's recent restructuring.

Fedorov's comments came during an appearance on a program hosted by journalist Serhiy Sternenko on Thursday. He directly addressed his current situation, indicating his commitment to his previous responsibilities.

"I have no moral right to deal with anything else right now," Fedorov stated, as reported by the Kyiv Independent. This remark underscores his belief that his work in digital transformation is unfinished or of critical importance, especially given the ongoing conflict.

The government reshuffles in Ukraine have led to several changes in ministerial positions. Fedorov's dismissal, though temporary, has sparked discussion about the future direction of digital initiatives within the Ukrainian government during a critical period.

His expressed intention to return suggests a strong conviction in the value of his work and a potential desire to continue leading the digital transformation efforts in Ukraine, which have been crucial for various aspects of the country's operations, including defense and public services.
