Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced the replacement of Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov with politician Rustem Umyerov. Zelenskyy stated that he believes the ministry needs new approaches and formats of interaction. The decision comes after Zelenskyy fired officials in charge of military conscription due to corruption allegations. Reznikov was appointed defense minister shortly before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and he previously stated that the government didn't warn the public to prevent panic. Zelenskyy ended his announcement on an optimistic note, emphasizing the need to strengthen in autumn.
