President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that he decided to fire the Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov. His place will be taken by the head of the State Property Fund, Rustem Umyerov. This is what the head of state said said in the evening address on September 3.
"This week, the parliament will be asked to adopt a personnel decision. I want to emphasize this now. I decided to replace the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Oleksiy Reznikov went through more than 550 days of full-scale war. I believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction both with the military and with society as a whole. Rustem Umyerov is now the head of the ministry.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine knows this person well, and Mr. Umyerov does not need additional introductions. I expect the parliament to support this candidacy. "Autumn is a time for strengthening," the president noted.
