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. It was not the first similar case during the ongoing war.
"All actions of the Ukrainian authorities are geared toward the interests of the war, and scandals and statements about Ukraine's slow counteroffensive in the face of very limited military resources compel Zelenskyy to be flexible and seek new personnel solutions." Umerov, 41, a politician with the opposition Holos party, has served as head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine since September 2022. He resigned from that position on Monday, according to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament.
Fesenko said that Western partners value Umerov for this role as head of the State Property Fund, and he is one of the few politicians in Ukraine with direct contact with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
