According to Radiotrek — Світ: On August 19, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., Radio Track published a piece headlined 'The Fedorov Casualty: Only Elon Musk May Be Able to Save Him Now (PHOTO).' The article examines a video released by Mykhailo Fedorov on August 18. In the view of the authors, the clip showcased a clumsy political maneuver tied to his 'Diia' party.

The piece also references a team of political strategists and experts who have assembled around the former defense minister. Fedorov's video was supposed to run no more than 1.5 minutes, the article points out, but somehow this apparently didn't happen. As the authors write:

“everyone saw how stiff and painful Fedorov's delivery was-it said nothing”

.

What Could Save Fedorov?

Two possible rescue routes are put forward:

• A visit from Elon Musk, who is rumored to be considering interviewing Fedorov in person and expressing support.
• An unexpected feat.

The authors ask whether this marks the complete political end of Fedorov and his 'Diia' party.

This situation around Mykhailo Fedorov and 'Diia' highlights how volatile Ukrainian political life can be, where public sentiment and media reactions have the power to make or break a politician's career. Going forward, the key question is whether Musk-who has repeatedly shown he can shift media narratives and public mood-will actually step in, and what that would mean for Fedorov. It also serves as a reminder to other politicians that today's voters and media formats demand fast, confident, and substantive communication.
