He announced this today, September 3, in an evening video message.
Parliament will be asked to make a personnel decision this week. I want to define it now. I decided to replace the Minister of Defense of Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
According to him, he will propose to the Verkhovna Rada to replace Oleksiy Reznikov with the current head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov.
Alexey Reznikov went through these more than 550 days of a full-scale war. I believe that the Ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction both with the military and with society as a whole. Now Rustem Umerov should head the Ministry,” Zelensky said.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine knows this man well, and Mr. Umerov needs no further introduction. I expect parliamentary support for this candidacy,” the president added.
People’s Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko announced in his Telegram channel tonight that Umerov is already starting meetings with Rada factions as a candidate for the post of Minister of Defense.
