Arakhamia did not say when the move would be formalized. There was no immediate comment from Reznikov. Reznikov, 56, became defense minister in Nov. 2021, just a few months before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. As a wartime defense minister, Reznikov singled out Ukraine’s “de facto” integration into the NATO military alliance as a top priority, even if joining the bloc was not immediately possible de jure.
