Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov signed a proposal to the government to dismiss four of his deputies – Stanislav Gaider, Alexander Sergei, Yuriy Dzhigir and State Secretary of the Ministry of Education Lyudmila Daragan.
The press service of the Ministry of Defense reported this today, October 1.
The system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine – the Armed Forces, GUR and GOST – is a closed perimeter during martial law. This means that all processes must be clear and controlled. Any external or internal attempts to influence them are unacceptable. In this context, personnel changes are also being made,” Umerov emphasized.
Umerov promises to report separately on new appointments, including deputy ministers.
According to the procedure, the minister makes a proposal to the Cabinet of Ministers about the dismissal of deputies, and the Cabinet dismisses them by its decision.
The Cabinet of Ministers is scheduled to meet today. So they will be fired today. Perhaps there will be new appointments today,” MP Alexey Goncharenko commented on this news in his Telegram channel.
Umerov also announced a reform of the defense procurement system.
“Spetstechnoexport” (STE) is transferred from the GUR to the Ministry of Defense. I set the task of completing the process of cleaning the procurement system in close cooperation with law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies. We also continue to reform the Defense Procurement Agency (DPA) and the State Logistics Operator (DOT), bringing these processes closer to NATO standards, he noted.
According to the minister, supervisory boards for both structures will be created in the near future. The presentation to CMU will be made this week.
