Zelenskyy moves to replace Ukraine's defense minister

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov submitted a letter of resignation on Monday after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would be replaced and named his successor.

Oleksii Reznikov’s removal follows a scandal around the defense ministry’s procurement of military jackets, SIA reports with reference to Ukrainian sources.

This was not the first similar case during the ongoing war.

Zelenskyy made the announcement on his official Telegram account, writing that new leadership was needed after Reznikov went through “more than 550 days of full-scale war.”

He named Rustem Umerov, a Crimean Tatar lawmaker, as the new defense minister.
