Ukraine‘s defense minister announced the dismissal of three deputy ministers in a cabinet reshuffle aimed at strengthening the country’s response to Moscow’s ongoing invasion, which has persisted for two and a half years.

Rustem Umerov shared this information via social media on Tuesday, stating that he has requested the government to relieve Stanislav Haider, Oleksandr Serhiy, and Yuriy Dzhygyr from their roles as deputy defense ministers, along with Liudmyla Darahan, who served as the ministry’s secretary.

Umerov emphasized the importance of collaborating closely with law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies to effectively reform the procurement system.

He indicated that new appointments would be announced soon. In light of Russia’s extensive military actions, Ukrainian officials are actively working to reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies and combat corruption.
