Zelenskyy to replace defense minister
Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Rustem Umerov, chairman of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, should lead the ministry. The replacement is believed to be a de facto dismissal as the ministry has been hit by corruption allegations involving the purchase of military jackets. Reznikov has played a central role in dealing with Russia's invasion of Ukraine by deepening ties with Western nations to elicit military aid.
