When a nation's defence minister is removed from office, the question of what becomes of hard-won expertise rarely finds a graceful answer. Italy has offered one such answer to Ukraine's recently ousted defence minister Rustem Fedorov, extending a formal advisory role that transforms a political departure into a continued engagement. The gesture, made in July 2026, speaks to a quiet but consequential conviction among some Western allies: that institutional knowledge outlasts the offices that once housed it, and that continuity of relationship may serve collective security as faithfully as any
